Alfred Zhurinskiy (1938–1991)

А. Н. Журинский

Researcher, Department of African Languages

Ph.D.

Was employed at the Department of African Languages of the Institute of Linguistics in the Russian Academy of Sciences since 1971.

In 1966, he graduated from the Division of Structural and Applied Linguistics, the Faculty of Philology of the Lomonosov Moscow State University.

In 1967-1971, he studied at the postgraduate program at the Institute of Linguistics, and in 1971 he became an employee there.

During his studies at the Lomonosov Moscow State University, he initiated the traditional Olympiads in languages and mathematics for high school students (now the traditional Olympiads in linguistics), and during the following years, he was the author of numerous self-sufficient tasks in linguistics for the Olympiads and other purposes.

He had a very diverse range of research interests, including, in particular, sound symbolism, sociolinguistics, paremiology, and the theory of the linguistic problem as a genre.
