| Popis: | Roman Jakobson was one of the greatest linguists of this century - perhaps the greatest - and he had close connections with many linguistic centers in many countries. One may perhaps therefore wonder why exactly Denmark has chosen to celebrate his centenary by an international symposium. But there were some special bonds between Jakobson and Denmark. Denmark was one of the first countries where a majority of linguists accepted structural linguistics and thus also the ideas of the Prague Circle; and many Danish linguists of the older generation feel deeply indebted to Roman Jakobson. But his works have also been an inspiration for the younger generation, particularly his later works on distinctive features and his discussions of semiotic problems. And the initiative for the present symposium was taken by the younger generation of Danish linguists. |
