Just a fun thought for the linguists and philologists out there: Does it 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 make sense for the term 'hapax legomenon' to have a plural?

Michael Ventris, who deciphered Linear B, the syllabic script used to write Mycenaean Greek [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_B], died #OnThisDay 70 years ago.
Others had paved the way, notably Alice Kober [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Kober], who had analysed the script and discovered evidence of inflection, which was a starting-point for Ventris to correlate signs representing syllables that had (e.g.) the same consonant sound but different vowel sounds.
John Chadwick, the philologist who became Ventris's collaborator after his initial breakthrough, wrote an excellent account of the decipherment for the non-specialist in ‘The Decipherment of Linear B’: https://archive.org/details/deciphermentofli0000unse_o2q4 (multiple copies on @internetarchive)
Attached is the ‘tripod tablet’, whose discovery was an important confirmation of the correctness of Ventris’s system, and its transcription from Chadwick's book.

Yazvitsky's 1812 verse translation of "The Lay of Igor's Campaign" — long thought to rely on Shishkov's prose — actually borrows heavily from Siryakov's obscure 1803 version. My textual analysis reveals dozens of identical phrasing choices, unique epithets, and even whole lines. A case of early Russian literary appropriation, with Siryakov conspicuously uncredited in Yazvitsky's preface.

Nazirov's diaries: who were they written for? This paper traces the addressee shift from "future mass reader" to the author's mother — transforming the diary from a writer's workshop into an intimate moral document. A fascinating look at Soviet intellectual subjectivity through ego-documents.

How do you read an archive that was never meant for outsiders? Orekhov explores Nazirov's manuscript legacy — handwriting types, cryptic folder markings, attribution traps, and why even "чорт" after 1956 isn't a reliable date clue. A must for textual scholars and archive nerds.

Philology students were asked why literature matters today. Their answers: almost entirely clichés—"spiritual enrichment," "history textbook," "moral guide," "intelligence booster." Nearly none gave examples. The paper argues this unreflective "myth of literature" clashes with pragmatic value systems, distorts how students perceive modernism.

"Today, Jefferson's prediction that "American" would eventually divorce its mother tongue seems extraordinarily unlikely. Instead, the proliferation of new words has only enriched the language we share."

1/5 🧵 Every university has one room larger on the inside than outside. For me, that room belonged to Tanya Reinhart: philologist, Marx reader, fearless mind, huge heart. She taught that language is never innocent. A headline can hide an army. A silence can hide a crime. 🕯️ #TanyaReinhart #Philology #Marx #Lenin #Israel #Academia #Language #Politics #Memory #Justice
