Abstract

The staff of the Department of Information and Analytical Maintenance of Scientific and Research Work (the former Science Bibliography Department) in the Jakub Kolas Central Science Library of the Academy of Sciences of Belarus have been compiling the bibliography of Belarusian linguistics since 1952. So far, four indices of Belarusian linguistics, comprising the science publications published between 1825 and 1991, have been published. The total number of the entries in the indices is more than 14.5 thousands. The information about the recently published scientific publications is kept in the electronic bibliographic database „Беларускае мовазнаўства" („Belarusian linguistics"). Like the printed indices, the electronic database contains the scientific documents from all the fields of linguistics concerning the history of Belarusian language, dialectology, the problems of the modern linguistics etc. The total number of the entries in the daily updated database is more than 20 thousands. Using the indices and the database, the article discusses the historical research of the Statutes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by Belarusian and foreign linguists.
