This combined volume (III-IV) of the academic journal \"Language and Mentality\" was issued by the N. Ya. Marr Institute shortly after Marr's death, under the chief editorship of his leading disciple and successor, Ivan Meshchaninov. The volume prominently opens with a posthumous article by Marr himself regarding the problem of writing in Slavic languages. The rest of the collection reflects the vast comparative and somewhat unorthodox scope of the Japhetic school, featuring studies on Caucasian languages (Udi, Agul), Finno-Ugric linguistics, Slavic historical grammar, and Paleo-Asiatic studies. Marrism dictated that all languages evolved through universal socioeconomic stages rather than sharing genetic family trees, a doctrine that remained the official state dogma in Soviet linguistics until Joseph Stalin abruptly denounced it in 1950. Printed in a limited academic run of 3,165 copies, these early volumes are highly prized by historians of science, scholars of Soviet intellectual history, and collectors of twentieth-century linguistic literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44524676710442,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_5797.jpg?v=1782901294","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/language-and-mentality-volumes-iii-iv-yazyk-i-myshlenie-le-langage-et-la-mentalite-1935-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
