As an independent structural division, the Section of Psycholinguistics was founded in 1969 by A. Leontiev who was its head until 1975. In 2012, the Section was transformed into the Department of Psycholinguistics, the latter consisting of the Section of General Psycholinguistics and the Section of Ethnopsycholinguistics.
The Department also operated the Research and Education Centre of Intercultural Studies named after Alexey A. Leontiev (REC IS).
From 1975 to 2021, the head of the Department was Evgeniy Tarasov.
On our website, you can also find the main books of the department's employees in djvu format, as well as the journal "Voprosy psiholingvistiki" [The Journal of Psycholinguistics].
Area of research
When determining the content of its scientific activity, the Department is guided by the principle of studying four subjects in human speech activity: problems of speech production and perception, problems of language ontogenesis and speech communication. Since the mid-1980s, the problem of the functioning of knowledge in speech processes, which later became known as the "problem of human language consciousness", has naturally become one of the core interests of the Department. To study the problem of language consciousness, there was formed a concept of intercultural communication viewed as the most suitable ontology for the analysis of language consciousness. Such concept allows to identify and capture ethno-cultural specifics of language consciousness in the most convenient way.
Russian Associative Dictionary (2002), as well as Buryat, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Polish, Khakass, Yakut, German, and English (American version) associative dictionaries were compilated as a result of cooperation with the V. V. Vinogradov Russian Language Institute of RAS.
The Department is a scientific and organizational center that coordinated psycholinguistic research in the USSR and continues to do so in the Russian Federation. Within the framework of this coordination activity, the Department organized and conducted 14 All-Union, All-Russian and International symposia on psycholinguistics and communication theory. Since the mid-1980s, all the symposia have been devoted to the problem of language consciousness. As a consequence, a number of collective and individual monographs and a series of articles on research areas have been published.
Russian Associative Dictionary by Yurii Karaulov, Yurii Sorokin, Evgeniy Tarasov, Nataliya Ufimtseva (2000) was awarded the prize of the President of the Russian Federation for 2003. The dictionary was created on the basis of a massive associative experiment with native speakers of the Russian language. The dictionary consists of two volumes: Volume I- [From stimulus to reaction], Volume II - [From reaction to stimulus].
The dictionary has no analogues in Russian lexicography. It reflects the real picture of language use, spontaneous literary and colloquial language, and, ultimately, the speech and thought portrait of our contemporaries, their world view defined by the peculiarities of the national mentality. The dictionary sheds light on the structure of the language capacity of a thinking, speaking, and understanding human.
Currently, the Department is working on the research project "Modern language picture of the world: dynamics and variability (psycholinguistic aspect)".
Within the framework of the research project, the work is carried out in the following areas:
- methodology and theory of language consciousness research
- functioning of language consciousness in the processes of speech production and perception
- functioning of language consciousness in cross-cultural communication
- ethnocultural specifics of Russian language consciousness
- Russian associative dictionary
- ethnocultural specifics of the language consciousness of the peoples of Russia
- theory of the dialogue of cultures
- the communicative area of consciousness
- language consciousness of a unique personality
- modern linguistics and the disciplinary crisis of the Humanities
