Meeting Description:
We are pleased to announce an international
linguistic conference “The Linguistic Heritage
and Development of Yu.S. Maslov's Ideas”
organized by the Department of General
Linguistics to celebrate Yu. S. Maslov's
centenary and the years he chaired the
Department (1961-1985). The conference will be
held between November 20 and 22, 2014, at the
Philological Faculty of St. Petersburg State
University.
Yuri Sergeevich Maslov (May 5, 1914 - August
31, 1990) is one of the most outstanding
Russian linguists of the 20th century, renowned
for his expertise in a number of areas of
general linguistics, including theoretical
linguistics, the history of linguistics,
Slavonic (in particular, Bulgarian) studies,
Germanic studies, and for his classic textbook
Introduction to General Linguistics. Yet Yu. S.
Maslov is probably best known as a grammarian
and the founding father of the Russian school
of general and contrastive aspectology. He
developed a comprehensive system of fundamental
aspectual concepts, anticipating major trends
in aspectology that would be elaborated by
researchers from different countries and
linguistic traditions in late 20th - early 21st
century.
