On the linguistic education at MSU and RSUH

Abstract

In Moscow, linguistic education has been conducted at Moscow State University (since 1960), at the Russian State University for the Humanities (since 1991) and at the Higher School of Economics (since the 2000s); in the 1960s it was also conducted at the Moscow State Linguistic University. All of these universities have been training specialists in what is now called computational linguistics, but they also graduate linguists – scientists, translators and language teachers. Each of the universities has developed its own traditions, and though their priorities are different, quite a few of their graduates have made a contribution to scientific, practical and educational activities.
