Owl, Lyubov Zinovievna

L. Z. Sova (Aksenova) was born in a family of scientists ^[9] . In 1960 she graduated from the philological faculty of Kharkov State University with a degree in Russian Language and Literature, in 1969 she graduated from the Mathematics and Mechanics Department of Leningrad State University with a major in mathematics (mathematical logic and computers), and in 1965 she completed postgraduate studies in structural linguistics of the Leningrad branch of the Institute of linguistics of the USSR Academy of Sciences (supervisor -. prof Kholodovich ), in 1965 she defended her thesis for the degree of candidate of Philology in specialty "structural I African linguistics and philology "; in 1977, she was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philology (defended by the monograph "Analytical Linguistics. M. 1970), in 1984 - the title of Senior Researcher , in 1993 - the degree of Doctor of Philosophy , Germany ^[10] . Member of the International Association of Semiotic Studies (1986), the Berlin Center for Semiotics Research (1994), the International Club of the Leading Intellectuals of the World ( USA , 1998), the Scientific Council of the International Biographical Center (Cambridge, England, 1999), the Research Council of the American Biographical Institute ( 1999), the Union of Writers of Germany (Bund Deutscher Schriftsteller BDS, 2002), the Research Academy of the International Biographical Center ( Cambridge , England , 2005), etc. The founder and editor-in-chief of Berlin railway “Guten Abend!” (1997).

From 1961 to 1990, L.Z. Sova worked as a freelance annotator of the Book Chamber of the Ukrainian SSR, a technician, engineer and senior translator-engineer of Ukrenergochermet, a teacher of the Zulu language at the eastern faculty of Leningrad State University, scientific and technical, junior scientific, senior scientific and leading scientific employee of the Leningrad Branch of the Institute of Linguistics, Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Due to constant persecution by orthodox-minded linguists ^[11] , since 1990 she has been working in Germany as a writer and journalist ^[12] , adviser to various commercial structures and the editor-in-chief ^{[13] of the} cultural and educational magazine Good evening! ( Berlin - New York - St. Petersburg), which publishes articles on linguistics, literary criticism, ethnography, philosophy and history, as well as essays, stories and tales of modern life in Russia and abroad (in Russian and German). In addition, as a visiting professor, she teaches at various universities in the world ^[14] and works as a researcher at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University. Humboldt (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Philosophische Fakultät III. Institut für Asien- und Afrikawissenschaften) ^[15] .

In 1970, L.Z. Sova published the monograph “Analytical Linguistics” (Moscow, USSR Academy of Sciences), in which she described the principles of constructing a universal linguistic theory based on the ideas of constructive mathematics, and also illustrated the possibilities of Anli's application in theoretical and applied linguistics, semiotics and the theory of artificial intelligence (later Anli was published in English translation: LZ Sova. Analytical Linguistics. St. Petersburg. 2012. 370 p.). As the biographers of L.Z. Sova note, analytical linguistics expanded the tasks of generative grammar and, based on the apparatus for extracting axioms ^[13], created by the author, described one of the fragments of general linguistics in the form of a conceptual system that develops over time. Summing up the scientific activities of L.Z. Sova, they note that the most important is the creation of new research methods and a description on their basis of the evolution of Bantu languages, Prabant reconstruction, the history of language and thinking, the theory of building grammars of different structural languages ​​and their analysis procedures ^[16] . Numerous articles and reviews devoted to analytical linguistics characterize its role in modern linguistics (18).

L.Z. Sova is the author of over 200 published and unpublished works, including eighteen books. Most of them are devoted to the description of Bantu languages. In addition to the huge factual material contained on several thousand pages, in the books of L.Z. Owls a number of new hypotheses and theories in the field of linguistics and Africanism are formulated. The most important for African studies are the following:

1. Fixation and description in the history of the Bantu languages ​​of three periods (partitive-obsessive, spatial and temporal), which led to the formation of a new (modern) way of reflecting reality - temporal-modal.
2. Modeling the genesis of the articulation apparatus and the vocabulary of African languages ​​in the form of a process “unfolding” from one (“zero”) point (by specifying an amorphous syncretic image and its derivatives).
3. The hypothesis that the legends of the universe, the demiurge of which is the Word, reflects the processes of word creation in the head of the thinking individual, and not the processes of creating the world in an extra-linguistic space-time continuum, and that the history of the emergence of words is usually interpreted as the history of the formation of their denotations.
4. Characterization of the evolution of concepts about grammatical categories in African languages ​​as a sequential dualization of the initial amorphous (syncretic) concept by correlating the stages of its division with two space-time continua (inside the speaker’s brain and outside it).
5. The hypothesis of the transformation of Bantu languages ​​from isolating to agglutinative-inflective and its proof on the basis of specific language data.
6. The theory of the emergence of indicators of concordant classes in Bantu languages ​​from prosodic circumflexes and root syllables in the process of converting an insulating system into an agglutinative-inflective one.
7. The pro-genus-syllabemic theory of the origin of name class prefixes and the reconstruction of praforms based on it
8. The theory of dualistic (formal-semantic) syntactic analysis / synthesis and its implementation on the material of the Zulu language.
9. The principles of constructing universal grammar by the methods of analytical linguistics. Description on its basis of morphology and syntax of the Zulu language.
