V. A. Vinogradov and the systemic approach to grammar

Abstract

The paper touches upon V. A. Vinogradov`s contribution to the system approach development in the typological studies of grammar dialectically connected with lexis. Selected works by V. A. Vinogradov [Виноградов 2019] have been critically appraised. The mechanisms of noun classification devices are considered from the system approach point of view as a part of general categorial system of the language, which, in its turn, consists of overt and covert grammars. The particular focus is on dialectics and system orientation in V. A. Vinogradov`s approach to linguistic categories. V. A. Vinogradov’s contribution to the generalization and explanation of language classification phenomena and linguistic typology has proved outstanding.
