Millennial traditions of Russian language studies in the homeland of Russia: Yaroslav the Wise Novgorod State University

Abstract

The authors argue that scholarly and educational traditions in the field of linguistics in Veliky Novgorod date back almost a thousand years. Today, their custodians and successors are the employees of the Humanitarian Institute of the Yaroslav the Wise Novgorod State University, who feel themselves heirs to the richest traditions of Novgorod literature, well known to Russian scholarship: history, philology, pedagogy, cultural studies. The continuity of education and scholarship in the ancient Anthony Monastery of Veliky Novgorod for many centuries can be discussed from a legal, historical and cultural points of view, but the enormous potential of the existing historical foundation and the current state of scholarly schools of phraseology, literary criticism and media linguistics is obvious. Thousands of philologists have been trained and graduated in Antonovo, who have become the backbone of the pedagogical, scholarly, media corps of the region and Russia, forming the corporate identity of many generations of Russianists and preserving pride in its great history. Research in the field of philology: Novgorod text in Russian culture, Novgorod literary regional studies, phraseology, media linguistics, are still carried out at a high level and are supported by grants from scientific foundations, are included in the history of Russian studies by large thematic scholarly forums, fundamental monographs and other numerous scholarly publications. Novgorod philologists, both employees of the Humanitarian Institute of Novgorod State University and its graduates, actively influence the surrounding language environment, as practitioners form the media field of the region in the role of speakers and experts, striving to preserve the Russian word and interest in it among wide circles of scholars and students. The results of humanitarian research by Russian and foreign scholars in Russian studies are reflected in the scientific journals “Uchenye zapiski Novgorodskogo gosudarstvennogo universiteta” and “Verba”, published by Novgorod University.
