Stalin J.V. Marxism and Problems of Linguistics

The June 20, July 4, and August 2, 1950 issues of Pravda. 35 pages. Ответы И.В. Сталина на вопросы журналистов. Ниже его предисловие к публикации. A group of younger comrades have asked me to give my opinion in the press on problems relating to linguistics, particularly in reference to Marxism in linguistics. I am not a linguistic expert and, of course, cannot fully satisfy the request of the comrades. As to Marxism in linguistics, as in other social sciences, this is something directly in my field. I have therefore consented to answer a number of questionsput by the comrades.
