The study raises an urgent problem - the theory of functional syntax in Russian linguodidactics. The aim of the article is to present a theoretical analysis of functional syntax as a subject of linguistic research in the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The sources on which the functional syntax is based are analyzed, the applied research of Russian pedagogical scientists, developed in the process of practice, as well as the works of foreign authors that are of great importance for domestic functional grammar are examined. It is established that the methodology for teaching and studying Russian syntax involves the creation of a functional grammar (syntax) based on the functional approach «from value to form» (from functions to means), enabling to study linguistic facts in a different content space, which will facilitate the use of speech functions and concepts with the help of which communication and speech intentions of learners of a foreign language are realized.
