IN MEMORY OF T.A. GURIEV

 

The name of Tamerlan Alexandrovich Guriev is widely known in scientific circles of Russia and abroad. The scientist, who left a bright trace in Ossetian studies, is an extraordinary personality, an example of selfless service to science. Doctor of Philology, Professor Tamerlan Alexandrovich Guriev – scientist-encyclopedist, fine researcher of the Ossetian language, literature, folklore, translator, publicist, critic, author of art works. The article contains a scientific and creative portrait of Professor T.A. Guriev, created on the detailed data on life and creativity, which make up the intellectual appearance of a great scientist and recognized organizer of science. Both the article and the given examples are convincing evidence of a real recognition of the professor's contribution to Ossetian studies and Russian science. Guriev was a scientist with an extraordinary breadth of the research range, a deep understanding of the internal structure of the language and a passionate champion of the national school; actively propagandized the national language, considering it the main individuality of the people. The native language, according to the professor, expresses the storehouse of his thoughts and feelings, therefore, for his preservation in the family and school, it is necessary to teach children at the initial stage in the Ossetian language. The process of studying languages should proceed consistently and organically: from native – to the Caucasian languages, from the study of their structures - to the theoretical problems of linguistics. When comparing languages, it is necessary to search for common properties of the objects to be compared, based on mental mechanisms, semantic features and cognitive parameters. Guriev-author was characterized by the breadth of linguistic vision, deep penetration into specific facts of the language, a subtle resolution of actual theoretical and practical problems.

Keywords: Ossetian studies, Caucasian studies, translation, bilingualism, vocabulary, lexicology.
