Alpatov, V. M. I.V. Stalin’s «Marxism and Problems of Linguistics »: Replies to Readers’ Letters

Abstract: The article is devoted to I. V. Stalin’s replies to letters of the readers of his «Regarding Marxism in Linguistics» («On some problems of linguistics: reply to E. Krasheninnikova’ and ‘Reply to Comrades»). The article shows that the Soviet leader evidently wanted to use his own example as a demonstration of ‘struggle of opinions, freedom of criticism’. Stalin’s social and governmental policy did not give a chance to such a struggle, but he found the way to reconcile the contraries, different ways represented by different letters, as the matter of fact.


Keywords:

cultural studies, linguistics, textological analysis, relation between the formal and semantic interpretations, formalism in linguistics, the role of dialects information of national languages, Mongolian dialects, sound language and sign language, language of the future, the beginning of the ‘Stalin’s period’ in the Soviet linguistics.
