As a pioneer of the structural analysis of language, which became the dominant trend of twentieth-century linguistics, Jakobson was among the most influential linguists of the century.

“O fuzilamento de Gumili贸v (1886-1921), a longa agonia espiritual e as torturas f铆sicas levaram Bl贸k (1880-1921) 脿 morte, as priva莽玫es cru茅is e a morte desumana de Khlebnik贸v (1855-1922), os suic铆dios anunciados de Iessi锚nin (1895-1925) e Maiak贸vski (1893-1930). Assim pereceram, no curso dos anos 20 deste s茅culo, na idade de 30 a 40 anos, os inspiradores de toda uma gera莽茫o. E cada um deles teve a n铆tida e insuport谩vel consci锚ncia do irremedi谩vel.”
