metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the analysis of some widespread ideas about the theory and history of
  the St. Petersburg (Leningrad) phonological school, created by one of the founders of phonology
  Lev Shcherba. In accordance with these ideas, a certain “antimorphematism” and “physicalism”
  is attributed to the St. Petersburg school, allegedly distinguishing it from the Moscow,
  Prague and other phonological schools, which does not allow us to consider it in the full sense
  of the word phonological. The origin and formation of these myths are connected with the peculiarities
  of the development of Russian phonology in the 20th century and were determined
  by the competition between the Leningrad and Moscow schools, which became most acute
  during the phonological discussions in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The main role in the
  establishment of this mythology belongs to representatives of the Moscow school, Alexander
  Reformatsky and Mikhail Panov. Based on the analysis of the works of representatives of different
  schools, the article shows the inconsistency of this mythology and attempts to explain
  why, despite repeated criticism, such unsubstantiated claims about the St. Petersburg school
  still remain and continue to be replicated both in textbooks and scientific papers on phonology
  and the history of linguistics, including recent works. In addition, based on the analysis
  of the theory and research practice of phonological schools, it is shown that the accusations of
  “physicalism” and “antimorphematism”, usually addressed to the St. Petersburg school, can be
  addressed to the Moscow and Prague phonological schools with greater justification.
