Andrei Anatoljewitsch Salisnjak

Andrei Anatoljewitsch Salisnjak ( Russian Андрей Анатольевич Зализняк ; born April 29, 1935 in Moscow ; † December 24, 2017 there ) was a Russian linguist and university professor .

Life

Salisnjak, son of the engineer Anatoli Andrejewitsch Salisnjak and the chemist Tatjana Konstantinowa Krapiwina, studied at the Lomonossow University Moscow (MGU) in the department of Romance and German studies of the philological faculty with a degree in 1958 and completed the aspirantur (1958-1960). 1956–1957 he studied at the University of Paris and at the École normal supérieure with the structuralist André Martinet . In 1957 he became a member of the Paris Linguistics Society . Salisnjak headed the Scientific Student Society of the MGU.

From 1960 Salisnjak worked in the Moscow Institute of Slavic Studies of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR, since 1991 Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)), where he became the main research assistant in the Department of Language Typology and Comparative Linguistics . In 1965 he defended his candidate dissertation on the synthesis of the nominal paradigms of the modern Russian language , with which he immediately received his doctorate in philological sciences . In addition to the official opponents Ruben Ivanovich Awanessow , Yuri Derenikowitsch Apressjan , Pyotr Savvich Kuznetsov and Vladimir Andreevich Uspensky , the AN-SSSR member Andrei Nikolajewitsch Kolmogorov also pleaded for this double doctorate . In his first monograph , Salisnjak treated important theoretical problems of morphology with his algorithmic description of the declension of nouns , adjectives , pronouns and numeralia in the Russian language . The work was based on experience in creating a Russian- French school dictionary. Further work led to the grammatical dictionary of the Russian language, in which the exact inflection model was given for 100,000 Russian words . This dictionary, which was still created manually, became the basis for the computer programs for automatic morphological analysis, which was also included in the Russian Wiktionary .

Since 1982 Salisnjak has been studying the Novgorod birch bark texts intensively and identified the peculiarities of the Altnowgorod dialect. In further analysis of the birch bark texts, he discovered previously unknown principles of the placement of enclitics according to Wackernagel's law . When the Novgorod Codex was found in 2000 , he was able to reconstruct hidden texts on the tablets and gain new information about early Christianity of the Rus . With the results of the analysis of the text of the igor song , he proved against André Mazon , Alexander Alexandrovich Simin and others that the igor song is indeed a medieval Russian epic and not a later forgery.

Salisnjak taught for more than 50 years in the philological faculty of the MGU, usually in the department of theoretical and applied linguistics, and was the author of a large number of publications. In 1985 he became a member of the US Society for Linguistics. In the 1990s he lectured at the universities of Aix-Marseille I , Paris-Nanterre and Geneva . He was also visiting professor at universities in Italy , Germany , Austria , Sweden , England and Spain . In 1987 he became a corresponding member of the AN-SSSR and in 1997 a real member of the RAN. In 2001 he became a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen . He was a member of the RAN Orthography Commission and the editorial board of the Dictionary of the Old Russian Language 11. – 14. Century and the dictionary of the Russian language 11. – 17. Century .

Salisnjak had been married to the linguist Jelena Viktorovna Paducheva (* 1935; † 2019) since 1958 . Her daughter Anna Andreevna Salisnjak also became a linguist.

Salisnjak was buried after the funeral in the RAN building at the Trojekurowo cemetery.
