Ukrainian Linguistics of the 1920s and Soviet Ukrainization (based on “Записки Історично-філологічного відділу ВУАН” [1923–1931])

Summary/Abstract: Since the adoption of the Law on Language in Ukraine in 2019, the direct taskof which is to ensure the state status of the Ukrainian language, unprecedented measureshave been taken to resolve still very painful issue – strengthening the status of the nationallanguage in an independent Ukrainian state. These measures have been compared by manyscholars with the Ukrainization of the first quarter of the last century. Despite the consider-able achievements of Ukrainization at that time, it culminated in repressions against manyUkrainian linguists, whose research was banned for the next half century. The resumptionof the demand for previously silenced scientific works is one of the urgent tasks in modernUkrainian linguistics. Our analysis is also aimed at the implementation of the latter, the main purpose of which is to illustrate the scale of the 1920s. reforms of Ukrainian linguistics (onthe example of the leading scientific journal „Записки Історично-філологічного відділуВУАН”). A cursory goal is also to show in which linguistic niche the Ukrainization intro-duced by the Soviets contributed the most.
