Description
Summary:Founder of the Linguistic School of Iași, holder of the first university chair of Romanian philology in the country, corresponding member (since 1898), then full member (since 1900) of the Romanian Academy, Alexandru Philippide was also the founder, in 1927, of the Institute of Romanian Philology of Iaşi, which, since 1933, will bear his name (an event whose 90th anniversary was celebrated at the end of the last year, in 2023). The paper aims at revealing Philippide’s substantial contribution to the foundation of the scientific study of the Romanian language, which the Institute of Romanian Philology, through its current structure and main philological subfields (linguistics, literary history and ethnology), carries forward in concerns, methods and spirit, covering, albeit in varying proportions, the full diversity of his work.
