Kartsevsky at the Beginning of His Scientifi c Career (Based on Archive Materials)

We offer a selection of texts from the archive of S. I. Kartsevsky translated
into Russian. The archive is kept in Switzerland. These materials were
published in full by us in Саhiers Ferdinand de Saussure 72, 2019. The texts
(1913–1914) are printed in Russian for the fi rst time. These are excerpts
from the correspondence between Kartsevsky as a student and his teacher,
university professor Charles Balli. The texts shed light on how some questions
of linguistics were covered 100 years ago.
