Arnold Chikobava’s 120th Birth Anniversary Marked at TSU
On March 26, the Institute of Caucasiology of the Faculty of Humanities at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) held a meeting dedicated to the 120th birth anniversary of Academician Arnold Chikobava. The participants of the event read out papers on the life and work of Academician Arnold Chikobava. TSU professors, lecturers and students attended the meeting.
Head of the Institute of Caucasiology, Tsira Baramidze said that Arnold Chikobava laid the foundation for the Kartvelian-Caucasiological school. “Arnold Chikobava is a great linguist, theoretician. He is the author of an eight-volume explanatory dictionary. The today’s event is just dedicated to his 120th anniversary. 2018 is an anniversary year. A lot of important events are planned, including an international linguistic symposium in autumn,” Baramidze said.
TSU Associate Professor, Merab Chukhua said that the Tbilisi State University and the Institute of Linguistics managed to publish Arnold Chikobava’s scientific heritage almost completely. “Arnold Chikobava was not a linguist of only Kartvelian and Caucasian scales. He is one of the leaders of the world science, who created a new paradigm in the 20th century linguistics. I think that just it is one of his greatest achievements,” he noted.
A photo exhibition depicting Arnold Chikobava’s life and work as well as a presentation of Chikobava’s works and a trilingual scientific journal was also held on the sideline of the event. Moreover, a documentary “Academician Arnold Chikobava” was screened.
