metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The purpose of the article is to show the process of formatting a new kind of linguistics,
  a contribution by A. Schlözer and I. S. Vater of their version of modern linguistics
  based on the Samoyed (Nenets) language research. The article demonstrates the way
  the researchers have arrived at their conclusions through careful selection of sources, both published and archived. The 18th century, the “age of systematics”, complete with
  a new division of sciences, arrived at the transformation of ethnography and linguistics
  into independent disciplines. Those were prerequisites for the emergence of comparative-
  historical linguistics. Using the Samoyed language studies as an example, the article
  examines Schlözer and Vater’s solution of the problems arising in identifying linguistic
  kinship: the lack of grammatical descriptions and the difficulties of reliable fixation
  of a non-written language. The works by Vater are the most significant precursors for
  the first grammar of the Samoyed language, i. e. The Samoyed Grammar by M. Castrén
  (1854). Schlözer insisted that the Samoyeds were an independent people, and that the
  section of his Northern History devoted to their community was a traditional comprehensive
  description of history, geography, customs, and language. The author determines
  the place of the Samoyed language among the neighboring peoples, critically analyzing
  the sources while offering a thematic Latin-Samoyed dictionary. Schlözer’s materials
  were later referred to in the Comparative Dictionaries… by P. S. Pallas. I. S. Vater, realizing
  the need for a new classification of sciences, headed the department of ethnography
  and linguistics, thus re-defining the object of linguistics. Regularly addressing the
  Samoyed language, as well as publishing texts, dictionaries and grammar notes in it,
  both addressing his informants and actively cooperating with the international academic
  community, Vater placed the Samoyed language into a rich academic context.
  The activities of the conscientious and impartial authors in their particular academic
  field demonstrates a long process of introducing their new information into circulation,
  together with changes of visual description: from a mixed description (by Schlözer) to
  the distinction between ethnography and linguistics (Vater). Refs 12.
