Fundamental research conducted by MSLU scholars laid the foundation for the most significant areas of study:
- text and discourse theory;
- speech science theory;
- the cognitive basis and cognitive functionality of language/speech;
- general translation theory, including literary, poetic, simultaneous, film and audiovisual translation;
- multi-level theory of primary and secondary linguistic personality;
- theory of meaning as an extralinguistic phenomenon;
- linguodidactics as a branch of methodological science paving the way for foreign language teaching methodology.
Fundamental research has always been accompanied by numerous applied scientific works, in which the scientific basis that was developed during the course of scientific work was refined and applied to specific languages (language pairs), resulting in the formation of a number of scientific schools and directions at MSLU that have gained wide recognition in Russia and abroad:
