The studies published here contain the core of Roman Jakobson's writings on the analysis of various grammatico-morphological categories of Russian, with occasional discussion of other Slavic languages. The 11 articles, originally written in 4 different languages (1,6 in German, 4,7 in Russian, 11 in French, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10 in English) are all presented here in their first published English translation or in the English original. Chapters 1-5 deal with verbal categories, 6-10 with nominal and pronominal categories, and 11 with the concept of the zero sign as exemplified by Russian and Slavic grammatical material. This volume was planned by Jakobon himself, including the table of contents and the order of the articles; he also read the entire manuscript prior to the editorial work. As to the translations, earlier drafts were prepared by Helge Rinholm (chap. 1), Kenneth Miner (chap. 6), and Rodney B. Sangster (chap. 7). The later, authorized translations of these three chapters are by Brent Vine and Olga T. Yokoyama. Chapter 4 was prepared by Helge Rinholm, chapter 11 by Linda R. Waugh. The editors are responsible for making minor stylistic revisions and emendations to the English originals and more extensive corrections of the translations; we have tried to unify the various chapters, insofar as this was possible, taking into account both the technical terminological differences between the four languages represented and the evolution of Jakobson's own thought.
