Journal Title: Мова - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 24
Abstract
The objective of the article is to highlight a number of issues concerning the formation, development and activities of the Slavonic Studies School at Odessa University founded in the 1860s —1870s by a respected scholar in the field of Slavic Studies Viktor Grigorovich. The main academic input of Grigorovich here consists in collecting and accumulating a wide variety of ancient manuscripts for their further research, which proves the fundamental character of his diverse activities. Different linguistic trends of Slavic Studies sprang out and saw their development in the works of several generations of scholars due to this collection of manuscripts. Viktor Grigorovich continued his selfless activities as a collector whilst living in Odessa where he paid much attention to the educational process at the university and in training schools in Bulgarian, Moldavian, and Gagauz villages of Bessarabia, as well as to the methods of studying Slavic antiquities, modern Slavic languages and their dialects. Together with Professor F. Brun, V. Grigorovich initiated onomastic research in Odessa. New scholarly and pedagogical knowledge becomes an organic blend in his university courses. The scholar uses comparative methods in his linguistic investigations and is one of the first to focus on the problem of bilingualism in teaching related languages. Grigorovich’s works of the Odessa period were all edited and published by prof. Mikhail Popruzhenko in the book Letopis’ Istoriko-filologicheskogo obshhestva pri Imperatorskom Novorossijskom Universitete. — 1916. — Tom 25. Grigorovich’s colleagues and students became outstanding representatives of the Odessa Slavonic Studies School in the XIX c. Here belong acad. P. Biliarskiy, prof. F. Leontovich, prof. B. Bogishich, acad. I. Jagich, prof. I. Nekrasov, acad. F. Uspensky, prof. A. Kochubinsky, acad. D. Ovsyaniko-Kulikovskiy, and prof. A. Markevich. The traditions of this school were carried on into the XIX-XX c. by academicians B. Liapunov and V. Istrin, prof. V. Mochulsky, prof. M. Popruzhenko, prof. S. Vilinsky, assoc. prof. A. Rystenko, prof. of Kazan University E. Budde, and prof. of Kharkov University S. Kulbakin. In the postwar period they were developed by prof. P. Potapov, prof. N.
