And many do not understand the essence of the subject,
But you know how it is priceless
The beauty of speech and live close.
And if the heart has chosen this path
Not for at least some of the diploma
Relatives their favorite and familiar,
Try the depth of his return.
Today philology - science,
And you're her servant, my good friend
Not the easiest of Sciences,
But it will be your soul bail,
The fact that the word will live forever,
In a manifold dialects, adverbs,
And if we take this burden on the shoulders -
Very well he meekly serve.
Author Vladimir Komarov

History of philology
So, let's talk about the new philology and philology.
Of course, we can not do without a mention of how it all began. And there can be no joke to say: "In the beginning was the word." Even the ancients, but, of course, the advanced civilization of Greece and India fought over the hidden meaning of the text. It turns out that already in the III century BC, the texts needed in the comments, in deciphering, in a detailed and careful study.
The ancient science did not stand out as it is today, apart from each other. The scientists of past centuries were often lexicographer, had a broad vision and knowledge in different areas. Therefore, the word "philology" though comes from the Greek for "love of the word" (also common interpretation of "one word"), but it appeared much later the Greeks themselves. It is assumed that the object of knowledge was the word in ancient times, have left us no written sources and evidence.
By the XVII century the Europeans have formed an idea of philology as a science. Becoming a center of scientific investigation, the Word was inextricably linked with the history, culture and philosophy. Over time, this gave way to a broad understanding of today: philology became the science of language, but survived, of course, understood that any language can not be studied separately from the environment in which it originated and which continues its evolution.
Let us remember the image of the Soviet, the beloved movie - "Prisoner of the Caucasus." Yes, Shura in the film - just a philologist. In those years, when the film came out, few people are surprised that it does Shura in the Caucasus - and he "collects folklore." That is, in fact, studying the language of a particular ethnic group. Today, researchers from our universities continue to explore similar. Their scientific work and dissertations, maybe not so much known to the general public, but more and more new generations of students are engaged in them. Labour is to evaluate someone.
They are very popular is a "branch" of philology, such as journalism (in some universities, until recently, existed at the Department of Journalism Faculty of Philology, and that, in general, it is logical). Profession Journalist - public, implied or travel, and adventure, often no worse than the famous movie hero. And, of course, "sedentary" such work will not name!
Another issue that the employment of our graduates on a specialty philology today is not easy. Learning the language in all its diversity - the problem, of course, state-level, which can not be assessed purely commercial point of view. And in many Western countries are well aware of. In Russia often have to meet foreign experts "for languages."
A study languages (language group has always studied the complex, as is the ancient common root) Russians today is a must. It's not just about the "sore" problem of youth literacy. Simple language - is also a "living organism", which changes all the time. Changes regardless of the orders "from above" (for example, that coffee is now "it").
The people themselves are constantly coming up with new words, changing the value of the existing ones. "Newspeak" has always been. It was created, scientists, writers, workers of various professional fields. Today it added no less great and mighty Internet, creating the same "Albanian language". A word - a mirror which reflects the hidden, spiritual world, without learning and understanding which would not survive, no, even the most powerful state.
