Department of Indigenous Languages of Siberia
Today, the Department’s archives boast 187 volumes of field notes, extended lexicological, toponymical, and ethnographical database. Its research projects focus on the indigenous languages and cultures of western Siberia. The applied projects of these research facility aim to produce reference and pedagogical materials: grammars, dictionaries, phrase- and ABC-books, and other educational complexes for aboriginal peoples in local north-western Siberian communities. The territory of Siberia, populated by various aboriginal and European nationalities is, and has been for extended time, an arena of intensive linguistic and cultural contact. At least 4 groups reside here: Turkic (Tatar, Chulym Turks), Samoyedic (Selkup, Nenets), Finno-Ugric (Khanty, Mansi) and Paleo-Asiatic (Ket, Yugh). Their ties and interrelations during a considerable period of time, the mixture of dialects represent exceptional interest for the science of linguistics and cultural anthropology. The Department’s research staff investigated and documented the languages and cultures of indigenous communities local to Siberia, including Chulym-Turkic, Kets, Selkups, Khanty, Mansi, Nganasan, Dolgan, Shor, Evenki. All these languages either have no orthography or, in cases when orthography was devised for them by the scholars, it is hardly known to the speakers, and they refer to the so-called endangered and moribund languages, and therefore any material that is documented and recorded is of great value. The lexicological collection of Siberian languages is particularly important for approaching the problem of the origin, evolution and contact of ethnoses, languages and cultures, diffusion, phylogenesis, etc. The collection of such materials has been done with an aim of descriptive and comparative typological investigations.

Tomsk State Pedagogical University is the oldest
professional establishment for training teachers in Siberia. It was
opened on the basis of Tomsk Institute of teachers more than 100
years ago, in 1902. Faculty for Foreign Languages founded in 1939
was among the first five departments of the University. Since that
time the faculty has had two major priorities in its development:
training of qualified teaching staff for teaching foreign languages
at schools and universities; scientific investigations in
linguistics and methodology of teaching of foreign languages. 
The Department (formerly a Laboratory) of
Siberian Indigenous Languages. Founded by Prof. A.P Dul’son over 50
years ago, it makes a strong accent on the study of languages and
cultures of indigenous peoples of Siberia. The Laboratory of
Indigenous Languages of Siberia received official organizational
status in 1991 on the basis of professor A.Dulson`s project at Tomsk
State Pedagogical Institute. |
