Abstract
<jats:p>The purpose of this study is to gain new scientific knowledge about current scientific areas of Belarusian linguistics using the example of a review of 11 abstracts of Doctoral dissertations defended in 2016-2024. The analysis accounts for the geographical diversity of scientific conferences attended by Belarusian linguists, their scholarly articles published in Belarus and Russia prior to the defense, and the professional affiliations of official opponents, which serve as evidence of the established international cooperation between linguists within the Union State. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the article summarizes their contribution to the study of two scientific specialties on 10.02.19 – Theory of Language and 10.02.20 – Comparative historical, typological and comparative linguistics based on information from two sections of the abstracts of doctoral dissertations of Belarusian scientists “Approbation of research results” and “List of publications of the applicant on the research topic”. As a result, the current directions of linguistic research of Belarusian Doctors of Philology have been identified, the frequency of their participation in international scientific conferences in Belarus and Russia has been established, and the facts of opposition to doctoral dissertations by Russian linguists have been revealed. This information can be useful for expanding the scientific horizons and professional development of young philologists.</jats:p>
