kill the previous sensation that Bahtin (wrongly Bakhtin) wrote
Medvedev's "Formal'nyj method..."(Formal Method). Our
statistical investigations based on the frequency of occurrence of
prepositions showed by Chi-sqare test that Bahtin did not write it. We
also proved that Voloshinov did not write this conrovercial Medvedev's
text. We cannot prove that it was written by Medvedev because we have
no other Madvedev's texts. We are sorry that we killed the sensation
that Bahtin wrote it UNDER A MASK. If we receive some more Medvedev's
texts, we can prove that it was written by Medvedev. Now the
conclusion is that neither Bahtin, nor Voloshinov wrote it. How ever,
as we wrote in our previous article published in the California
Linguistic Notes, Tolstoy wrote Tolstoy's texts, Dostoevskiy wrote
Dostoevskiy's and so on. We analysed about thirty Russian writers.
They all showed their own authorship. We are looking forward to your
commentaries about that to</font> <a
