| Summary: | The purpose of this article is a brief description of how Ukrainian linguists and philologists received through nineteenth- and twentieth-century European theories. These scholars worked in the condition of the Russian Empire, early Soviet Union, or exile; however, they can be used approaches and motifs that make it possible to talk about a coherent (albeit usually implicit) Ukrainian tradition. Within this tradition, the initial influence belonged to the ideas of Humboldt and German idealism, although ‘balanced’ by positivism, a special kind of historicism, and then especially by the approaches of Saussure. |
