- Abstract
The paper summarizes the scientific work of Dr. h. c. prof. PhDr. Jaán Sabol, DrSc., professor emeritus at Pavol Jozef Šafaárik University in Košice, Slovakia. Professor Jaán Sabol is especially well-known as the author of the synthetic phonological theory published in 1989. This theory provided a new view of sounds and various sound phenomena in the Slovak language with possible application to other (not only Slavic) languages. The substance of the theory is the analysis of every sound element from three different levels of abstraction -- the level of the phone, the level of the phoneme and the level of the morphophoneme -- as delimited on the ground of the mutual relationship between the individual and the universal in language. The substantial part of Professor Sabol's research was and still is represented by the analysis of the syllable, its structure and its function in the process of communication. He offers several syllabification criteria that help syllabify huge consonant clusters occurring word-medially. Distinctive features of phonemes, the relationship between segments and suprasegments, and the stylistic possibilities of sound elements also create an intrinsic part of Professor Sabol's work. The results of his extensive research have applications not only in phonetics and phonology but also in general linguistics, mathematical linguistics, versology, language culture and stylistics.
