Young Scholars Conference “Slavic World: Community and Diversity”. Moscow, 25–26 May 2021. Section “Linguistics”

Abstract

The annual conference “Slavic World: Community and Diversity” is a good platform for young researchers from different universities and research centers, both domestic and foreign, where they can share their scholarly achievements with colleagues and talk about their own vision of a particular problem related to the study of the diversity of the Slavic world. The work of the “Linguistics” section was divided into four thematic blocks: “Translation and interlanguage equivalence in Slavic languages”, “Slavic languages in the past and present”, “Language and traditional culture”, and “The language of texts of the Middle Ages and Modern times”. Young scholars from Moscow (Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences; Vinogradov Russian Language Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences; Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russian State University for the Humanities), St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg State University), Sofia (Andreichin Bulgarian Language Institute, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences), and Helsinki (University of Helsinki) spoke at the conference. The subsections were moderated by researchers from the Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences: Sergej A. Borisov, Mikhail N. Saenko, Maria V. Yasinskaya, and Gleb P. Pilipenko. Almost every report was accompanied by a discussion, during which the audience gave the authors advice, recommended certain additions, and suggested possible directions for further research.
