V. Grinaveckis, in his article „Zu einem Fall des Infinitivgebrauchs in den Mundarten der litauischen Sprache“ /“On one case of infinitive use in the dialects of the Lithuanian language- “/, discusses the communicative usage typical of Western Lithuania: dūgnas matyti, namai matyti, nieko nematyti, varpai girdėti, gerai žinoti, aiškiai jausti or jausti. In Eastern Lithuania, instead of the communicative form, the present tense conjugative form of the 3rd century is most commonly used: dūgnas namai matos(i), ir varpai girdis(i) etc. Most of the other articles are written in Polish. The article by Romano Roszko, who speaks beautiful Lithuanian, also belongs to the Lithuanianist category. The author, based on examples of Punsko schneck, discusses various cases of denoting repetitive action, more precisely — he examines the nuances of the meanings of the verbs of the past frequent tense /buvo, eidavo, rašydavo/ and the past cartesian tense /buvo, ėjo, rūšė, rašinėjo- /. In this work the author confirms the opinion that the so-called past frequency time is only one of the forms of past temporal. One of the most prominent Polish Baltists, Wojciech Smoczynski, examines the variants of the parallel articles stess: steis in Old Prussian. In treating the inscriptions morphologically, the author believes that the inflection of the article is based on two stems stesir steis-, of which the diphthong root is a new form resulting from the opposition -pluralis sfei-: singularis sfe-. Jolanta Mędelska, a linguist from Toruń, publishes a list of peculiar sentiments and expressions of the Vilnius Polish cultural language used in the Lithuanian Polish press, among which a considerable number are Lithuanianisms, e.g.: am-am, au-au, apshi ‘apsik’, capt, ciuciu, Cirkst, čiuk, dzingul, ga-ga, gurkt, juks, kar, op(a), paplak, pokst, put-put, šast, slep(t), stis, tarkst, zur(u) and others. 184 The second article of this linguist is entitled “The Polish cultural dialect in Lithuania after the Second World War: the language of “aging” and “young people”. It also examines the influence of Lithuanian and Russian on the local Polish language, based on the Lithuanian Polish press. It is believed that the language of the older generation contains significantly more Belarusisms. The language of the younger generation of intellectuals is closer to the standard Polish common language. This confirms the opinion of many researchers that the Lithuanians of the southeastern borders first became sub-Belarusian and only then began to switch to Polish. Warsaw linguists Malgorzata Ostrowka, Norbert Ostrowski and Anna Zielinska discuss “The Current Polish Linguistic Situation in Latvia/in the Daugavpils Area/” which is far from the situation of Lithuanian Poles. M. Ostrowska, in her article “The Problems of Polish Education in Lithuania 1993-1994”, states that the number of Polish schools and Polish jų pupils in South-Eastern Lithuania has increased and the situation has improved. Stefania Walasek from Wrocław presents in the first article historical data from the Belarusian gymnasium in Kleck and in the second — the fate of the private mathematical (real) gymnasium in Naugard (1921—1927) with teaching in Belarusian and Russian. Riga philologist Boris Infantjev in his article “Russian and Polish in Latvian songs” gives many examples of singed folktales, where lexicons are often mentioned: krievs ‘Russian’, krievinš ‘Russian’, krviete ‘Russian’, polis ‘Polish’, poliete ‘Polish’, etc. The mention of Russians and Poles in the songs is considered to be part of the historical heritage and reflects both their temporary or permanent residence on Latvian territory and their current and past friendly or hostile contacts over many centuries. The article of Piotr Borawski from Warsaw is dedicated to the Tatars, the Cossacks in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Svetlana Prochorova from Minsk informs readers about the XI International Congress of Slavists, held in Bratislava / Slovakia / from August 30 to September 8, 1993, and the prevailing theme there,,Slavo-Baltics- “. In the section of discussions and polemics, Vilnius-born Artūras Dubonis raises the idea in his article “Leiti in Lithuanian society /13th-16th centuries- /” that the leičiai mentioned in the sources of Lithuanian history were one of the groups of peasants directly belonging to the grand duke’s court, his domain. However, the following linguistic deductions are not very convincing so far. In the section of reviews Janas Jurkiewiczius reviews the third book of “Old Lithuanian Literature” Nineteenth Century Entering, Vilnius: Pradai, 1994. The chapter of the chronicle consists of articles dedicated to the loss of two prominent Lithuanian linguists, Aleksandr Vanagas and Vladas Grinavecki, and one of the most prominent Polish historian of Lithuania, Jerzy Ochmanski. About the life of A. Vanagas, his most important works and their significance wrote the close friend of the late, the 185 Polish onomasticist Michalas Kondratiukas, the life and works of V. Grinavecki highlighted Vytautas Vitkauskas, o J. Ochmanski- ’s scientific path was beautifully presented by the late colleague Janas Jurkiewiczius.

May day 16 Moscow. 1951 m. completed Moscow University, English language specialty. Her closest study friends were later famous, well ir Famous Russian scientists in Lithuania: orientalist Tatjana na Jelizarenkova, Indo-Europeanist Vyacheslav Ivanov, who graduated from Slavistics in the same year Vladimir Toporov. Led by Professor Mikhail Peterson T. Bulygina writes a candidate dissertation on the present-day Lithuanian literary language compounds in the pronoun. su The dissertation topic is ji published by ir "In the Questions of Lithuanian Linguistics" (1959, 2, p. 90-108). 1960 m. After defending T. her dissertation, Bulygina devoted herself especially to questions of linguistic theory. 1964 m. ji publishes a study on The Prague Language School (Kn. : Basics of Structuralism. M., 1964, is published her research on the problems of p. 46-126). 1968 m. grammatical oppositions (k.: Issledovanija po obščej teorii gramatiki. M., 1968, p. 175— 231). For Lithuanian language researchers, T. Bulygina’s work “Morphological structure of the word in contemporary Lithuanian literary language” (Morfologičeskaja struktura slova v indoevropejskich jazykach, M., 1970, pp. 7-70) is of particular importance, as it was the first attempt to describe structurally the morphological structure of the word in Lithuanian language. In 1977, T. Bulygina’s most important work, Problems of the Theory of Morphological Models (Problemy teorii morfologičeskich modelej, M., 1977), was published as a separate book. In this work, the author has chosen Russian and Lithuanian as the main linguistic material. In 1980, T. Bulygin was awarded the doctorate of philology for this work. Bulygina published interesting articles on the semantics and semiotics of sentences. Together with her son Alexei Shmeliov, she translated semiotics into Russian. 186
