Overview

In A Systemic View as the Base of Philological Thought, Olga Valentinova, Vladimir Denisenko, Sergey Preobrazhenskii, and Mikhail Rybakov explore the interrelation of language material, structure, and functions in various subjects of philological research, such as grammatical systems of language, semantics, linguistic personality, literary text, and formal aspects of verse. Their systemic approach is rooted in the theories of Wilhelm von Humboldt and his followers, including Russian scholars Alexander Potebnya, Gustav Shpet, and more recently Gennadii Prokop’evichMel’nikov (1928–2000). The authors use the concept of systemicity as an opportunity to see the studied whole in development, to show the functional interaction of linear and supra-linear connections, to explain their interdependence, and to predict further changes within the system. This book displays the scientific potential of the systemic approach to linguistics and related spheres, employing the framework of systematicity to revise the modern trends of philology and to map out an alternative paradigm for linguistic and philological thought that could restore the status of philology as a holistic science.

It is difficult to say whether this book is 'an outstanding contribution to modern linguistics.' But! It is very interesting, very useful, and...highly systematic. The systematic approach to the study of language and linguistic identity is the idea that permeates all parts of the monograph. This would sound very banal if the system were understood only as a set of units connected with each other by certain types of relations. The authors of the monograph 'animate' and 'humanize' the language system, viewing it throughout as a continuously changing object. The causes and conditions of such changes also enter into their research. -- Igor V. Ruzhitsky, Lomonosov Moscow State University
