DYNAMICS OF LINGUISTIC CONCEPTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF RUSSIAN LANGUAGE OF MPGU IN THE LIGHT OF CHANGING SCIENTIFIC PARADIGMS (TO THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DEPARTMENT)

The academic traditions of the Russian Language Department of the Institute of Philology of Moscow Pedagogical State University are closely connected with Russian linguistic concepts and the whole history of the university. Between 1872 and 1935, Russian philology defined the academic concept of the Russian language as a social phenomenon, an independent discipline, a sphere of academic knowledge and a means of professional training of future teachers, its role in teaching school disciplines and personality formation. The foundation of the Department’s linguistic outlook was formed by the ideas of the teaching staff of Moscow Higher Women’s Courses, where the Russian language had an interdisciplinary character: the Russian language at the Department was studied in close interrelation with literature in line with the comparative-historical philological paradigm prevailing at that time. Prominent Soviet philologists (P.N. Sakulin, A.M. Peshkovsky, N.M. Karinsky, A.M. Selischev, M.N. Peterson, D.N. Ushakov, G.O. Vinokur, V.V. Vinogradov), who studied the Russian language based on the structural-system approach with the use of statistical and formal-grammatical methods, worked at the Literature and Linguistics Department of the Pedagogical Faculty of the 2nd Moscow State University at different times. paradigm: for the study of cognitive science, functional potential of grammar, discourse studies, psycholinguistics and other integrative sciences. The ideas presented in the works of the greatest Russian dialectologists A.M. Selischev and N.M. Karinsky on comparative-historical grammar and onomastics remain important. During the study of syntactic units, statistical and formal-grammatical methods were applied. The modern academic linguistic paradigm was formed under the direct influence of the concepts developed by the professorial staff of the MVZhK MGPI, and includes the range of problems discussed today by the representatives of the Russian Language Department of the Institute of Philology of Moscow Pedagogical State University. The continuity of academic knowledge is reflected in new monographs and educational publications by the teaching staff of the department in co-operation with other Russian scholars.
