This theory can be characterized as a formalized, semantically oriented, multilevel, structural, functional and global model of language which explains the way the speaker generates the meaning embodied in the text. Both the article and the volume as a whole show the relevance of this theory for the development of semantics, grammar, pragmatics, typology and lexicography and highlight its theoretical and practical implications for linguistic studies and interdisciplinary research. We then briefly present the articles in this issue. Some of them were written directly in line with the “Meaning ⇔ Text theory” and were influenced by Mel’čuk’s ideas; others were the result of the stimulus that this theory, like its author, gave to the comprehension of the complex issues arising from the description of various levels of the language system. But all of them are related to Igor Mel’čuk, both as a linguist and a personality, and they are dedicated to him.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В вводной статье к специальному выпуску, посвященному И.А. Мельчуку, обобщены основные положения разработанной им теории «Смысл ⇔ Текст» и показан ее вклад в развитие различных направлений современной лингвистики. Данная теория предлагает формализованную, семантически ориентированную, многоуровневую, структурно-функциональную и глобальную лингвистическую модель языка и объясняет, как говорящий порождает воплощенный в тексте смысл. В статье, как и в выпуске в целом, показана актуальность рассматриваемой теории для настоящего этапа развития теории языка, включая семантику, грамматику, прагматику, типологию и лексикографию, подчёркивается ее теоретическое и прикладное значение для лингвистических и междисциплинарных исследований. Далее кратко представлены публикации номера, объединенные идеями, в которых заметно влияние работ И.А. Мельчука. Часть статей написана непосредственно в русле теории «Смысл ⇔ Текст», другие явились результатом стимула, которым послужили как данная теория, так и ее автор, при осмыслении сложных вопросов структурно-семантического описания языка. Объединяющим началом для всех публикаций выпуска является научное творчество и личность Игоря Александровича Мельчука, которому этот выпуск и посвящается.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Meaning ⇔ Text theory</kwd><kwd>Mel’čuk</kwd><kwd>semantics</kwd><kwd>linguistic meaning</kwd><kwd>formalization</kwd><kwd>functional model</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Теория Смысл ⇔ Текст</kwd><kwd>Мельчук</kwd><kwd>семантика</kwd><kwd>языковое значение</kwd><kwd>формализация языка</kwd><kwd>функциональная модель</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This publication has been supported by the RUDN University Scientific Projects Grant System, project № 050734-2-000.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Apresjan, Yurij D. 2005.
