o. Theoretical linguistics is a term not very often used in Soviet
Linguistics. The terms 'structural linguistics', 'mathematical
linguistics', 'applied lin guistics' (which, incidentally, has
another meaning here than in other parts of the world) all may
cover theoretical work in linguistics. In older days serious
theoretical work was done under the heading 'machine translation'.
Very often the need for a special term for theoretically oriented
studies in linguistics does not even arise. Does this mean that
there is no real theoretical linguistics in the Soviet Union? This
would be, of course, a completely false conclusion. Some lin guists
tend to identify theoretical linguistics with generative grammar.
Though it might be true - and I am myself very much inclined to
subscribe to this view - that generative grammar has been the most
fruitful linguistic theory up to now, this does not justify,
however, the above identification. Incidentally, as we shall see
later on, generative grammar has not been left unnoticed in the
Soviet Union either. There are different trends within theo retical
linguistics, one of which is generative grammar. While generative
grammar (though one can worry about the content of this notion for
many. internal and external reasons) seems to be the mean
theoretical trend in the United States and in Western Europe, it
represents only one of the main trends in Soviet linguistics."
