Young Scholars Conference“Slavic World: Community and Diversity”. Moscow, 21–22 May 2024. Section “Linguistics”

Abstract

This year, young scholars from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaliningrad, Verona (Italy), Regensburg (Germany) took part in the work of the Linguistics section. Presentations on current issues of Slavic linguistics were divided into six thematic blocks. The first block was devoted to the study of the language of Slavic literature; the presentations touched upon issues of lexicology (in particular, lexical borrowings) and translation studies. The second session was devoted to the problems of grammar of modern Slavic languages. In the presentations, an attempt was made to compare the single mode of verbal action in Croatian and Russian, the issue of using the target infinitive in a simple sentence in modern Serbian was raised, the eventual possibility of counting indefinite pronouns was assessed, and the verbs of visual perception in the Serbian and Russian languages were compared. The third subsection addressed issues of Slavic dialectology and linguopragmatics: it was about full and short forms of personal pronouns in Slovenian dialects, contextual realizations of Czech and Slovak proverbs on the Internet, difficulties in translating varieties of the Russian language into other languages, and an overview of one Ukrainian dialect of the Voronezh region was presented. The fourth session was devoted to the problems of Slavic phraseology and onomastics. And the fifth thematic block included presentations on verbal and non-verbal communication. The conference was concluded with a subsection dedicated to the interaction of Slavic languages and cultures. The presentations covered the problems of socio- and ethnolinguistics. Discussion of the reports took place during the work of the sections and during breaks. The conference is impressive both in the large number of young scholars who take part in it every year and in the constantly growing number of new researchers not only from our country but also from abroad. All this testifies to the importance and significance of holding this scientific event.
