The aim of the work is to study the theoretical heritage of A. A. Shakhmatov and to evaluate the scientist’s role in the formation of Russian and European linguistics. The purpose has determined the consideration of the following problems: A. A. Shakhmatov’s contribution to the development of classical and non-classical linguistics, the scientist’s innovative description of the syntactic tier of language, his original ideas on the study of the grammatical classes of words, the doctrine of grammatical category, the analysis of linguistic facts not only from synchronic but also from diachronic points of view. The theoretical signifi cance of the study consists in revealing the most important provisions of A. A. Shakhmatov’s theory and their signifi cance for the development of European linguistics. The practical signifi cance is associated with the possibility of applying the results of the study in teaching syntax, morphology, lexicology, and lexicography of the Russian language, as well as the disciplines “General Linguistics”, “History of the Russian Language”, or “Methods of Teaching the Russian Language”.
