Славянский мир в третьем тысячелетии (Jan 2023)
Young Scholars Conference “Slavic World: Community and Diversity”. Moscow, 24–25 May 2022. Section “Linguistics”
Abstract
This year, young scientists from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Smolensk, and Regensburg (Germany) took part in the Linguistics section of the conference. The reports were divided into three thematic blocks. The first block was devoted to the connection between the past and the present in modern Slavic languages. The reports touched upon the issues of lexicology, morphology, and syntax of the Russian language in comparison with other Slavic languages, the results of corpus studies of the grammar of modern Slavic languages, and special attention was paid to sociolinguistic research in Slavic national minorities. During the second session of the “Linguistics” section, topical problems of ethnolinguistics were discussed. The vast geography of the research conducted by young scientists involved in the study of traditional culture included the Saratov region of Russia, Serbia, Macedonia, and China. The third thematic block of reports was devoted to studies of printed and handwritten monuments of Slavic writing, as well as texts in modern Slavic languages. Reports were presented in which the glosses in the monuments of the 17th century were analysed, a classification of ancient Russian toponyms was proposed, and the linguistic means of expressing the national idea in a Polish play of the early 20th century were studied. The moderators of the subsections were employees of the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who are experts in each of the designated topics. Scientific communication took place between young scientists, and many presentations were accompanied by lengthy discussions, in which not only the speakers themselves, but also their senior colleagues participated. Some of the speakers take part in the conference every year, while others presented the results of their research within the walls of the Institute for the first time, which indicates the relevance of this conference.
