The article is devoted to the review of the dynamics and the main aspects in development of the modern Belarussian linguistics, taking into account the personality and scientific interests of the researcher. The attention is focused on the works of three leading Belarusian linguists - L. Shakun (1926-1996, studied the history of Belarussian language), A. Mikhnevich (b.1936, works up the problems of transformational syntax and the structural peculiarities of closely related Slavonic languages), and a slavist G. Tsykhun (b.1936, is known for his works on areal linguistics and the research of the problems of Balkan linguistic union). The activity of the above mentioned scientists produced and is still producing a significant impact on the essence and forms of research used for the study of Belarussian, Russian and the other Slavonic languages. The achievements of these linguists also reflect the topical problems of the Slavic studies, linguistic contacts and perspectives of the modern science.
