Potebnia Institute of Linguistics is a research institute in Ukraine, which is part of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine department of literature, language, and art studies. It is focused on linguistic research and studies of linguistic issues. The institute is located in Kyiv.

History

The institute was established in 1930 after merging several smaller separate linguistic research institutions that existed in the 1920s, particularly the Institute of Ukrainian Scientific Language. The institute is named after Ukrainianist Alexander Potebnja (properly Olexander Potebnia). Due to political persecutions in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, the real work of the new institute did not start until after World War II. In the 1930s many members of the institute were tried at staged trials of the Union for the Freedom of Ukraine.

In 1991 from the department of Ukrainian Studies, there was created separate Institute of Ukrainian Language.
