Scientific Reports of the Philological Faculty of the Lomonosov Moscow State University

The regular issue of the collection includes materials from the Lomonosov Readings at Moscow State University in 2009 (‘Philology’ section). The reports of linguists and literary scholars at the plenary session were devoted to the problem of text in modern philology. The main nerve of all the speeches was clearly revealed in the address by professor O. Revzina ‘Text: the Elusive Object’. The comprehension of this elusive object is the most important task in today’s science of the word.

The collection also incorporates materials of a round table on the 200th anniversary of Nikolai Gogol, and the international scientific session on the subject ‘The Classic and the Media: on the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of Edgar Allan Poe’
