Section history
The section of Germanic Languages has existed within the Institute since 1950. Over the years the employees of section were Victoria Yartseva, Myrrha Gukhman, Enver Makayev, Natalia Sliussareva, Sergey Mironov, Olga Seliverstova, Albert Schweitzer, Andrey Korolev, Victor Kalygin, Irina Sizova.
It is conditionally possible to divide section history into two periods. The first one is characterized by predominance of historical problematics and preferential interest in structural processes (50s-70s); the second period is indicated to a slightly larger part of researches on modern Germanic languages and predominantly functional and pragmatic research areas (from the 70s and especially the 80s and 90s).
More information about Section history you can find in the essay by Natalia Babenko (see also the essay to the 50th anniversary of Sector from 2000)
