- Abstract
- In this paper, we analyze the knowledge about the language rather than the langue as object of knowledge. It is precisely from this perspective that it becomes possible to analyze in an original light the relationship between the Romanian, Moldovan, and Russian languages. To reach our goal, we will discuss the article by Roman Jakobson, K kharakteristike evraaziiskovo iazikovovo soiuza, and, in the wake of this analysis, we will situate the research of the linguist Mikhail Sergheievskij, who studied the Moldovan language and its relationship with the Russian language towards the end of the 1920's. Our article will proceed through the following steps. We will start off by analyzing the fundamental concepts in Roman Jakobson's article, such as "language union", "phonological correlation", and "structural proximity". In order to better grasp the epistemological status of these concepts, we will then make a detour through the work of Pyotr Savitsky, in which he discusses the relationship between geographical and linguistic studies. Finally, building on the research of Mikhaïl Sergheievskij, we intend to show where the specificity of the connection between the Russian and Moldovan languages lies. This final evaluation will give us the possibility to make a brief comparative analysis between the thesis of Moldovan grammars published during the 1920's of Soviet Moldova and the knowledge about the language that we will discuss in the texts of Roman Jakobson and Mikhail Sergheivskij.
