Iraida Yakovlevna Selyutina: Scholar, Educator, and Guardian of Scientific Traditions

Since 1985, Iraida Yakovlevna Selyutina has successfully led a team of researchers who study the sound systems of languages and territorial dialects of Siberia and neighboring regions, as well as develop issues of phonetic typology, applying and improving the scientific ideas of her teacher, Vladimir Mikhailovich Nadelyаev. Her many years of work as a phonetician and a teacher have made an invaluable contribution to Russian humanities, and her tireless efforts as head of the main experimental phonetics laboratory have earned her the right to be regarded as one of the leading experts in her field, not only in Russian but also in international experimental phonetics. Iraida Yakovlevna continues to make a significant and invaluable personal contribution to the documentation, preservation, and research of the indigenous languages of Siberia and their sound systems.
