Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | For more than 30 years, from 1949 till 1982, the two influential linguists Roman Jakobson (1896-1982) and Eli Fischer-Jørgensen (1911-2010) regularly exchanged letters. Now, almost 40 years after the last letter of the correspondence was signed, The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters is publishing the entire collection of preserved letters in which we are introduced to two strong personalities: the Russian born linguist Roman Jakobson and the Danish phonetician and general linguist Eli Fischer-Jørgensen, both members of the Royal Academy, Eli being the first ever Danish woman elected a member. They were both leading representatives within the field known as phonology, and their letters are no doubt to be considered important documents in the history of international linguistics. Moreover, reading the letters provides a personal dimension to a field in which the usual scholarly articles are often devoid of personal content. The letters show the tension between Roman Jakobson's visionary approach and Eli Fischer-Jørgensen's insistence on staying true to phonetic facts, just as they show how the discussions of the relationship between phonology and phonetics are inescapably related to the linguistic community's life and its way of evolving in congresses and academic institutions. Furthermore, the correspondence reflects on the connections between Roman Jakobson and the competing Louis Hjelmslev-dominated structuralism seen in Copenhagen which is thought to be of interest to a wider spectrum of readers. |
