<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear LinguistList members, another sensation
which can 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 <A

Tambovtsev</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
