Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences

The Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences is a research facility in Moscow dedicated to theoretical, computational, and applied language studies. It operates specialized departments and maintains an extensive library with linguistic publications and resources.

The institute was established in 1950 as an organizational unit within the Russian Academy of Sciences, succeeding earlier linguistic research institutions. This founding marked the beginning of systematic language research under the Soviet scientific framework.

The institute studies languages from different regions, examining the structure and features of Romance, Germanic, Celtic, Iranian, Turkic, and Mongolian language families. This research helps people understand the diversity of human communication across the world.

Access to the facility is generally restricted to researchers and students who need to register in advance. The library and resources are available under specific conditions, so visitors should inquire ahead of their visit.

The psycholinguistics department was established in 2012 and uses modern experimental methods to study how the brain processes and understands language. This specialized research area combines neuroscience with language studies in an innovative way.
