Abstract
The article is devoted to the life and scientific path of D. E. Rosenthal – the author of widely acknowledged textbooks, dictionaries, reference books on the Russian language, speech culture, stylistics and spelling. This article is aimed at evaluating the linguistic heritage of D. E. Rosenthal and considering how the recommendations given in his books (including those reprinted today) are related to the prescriptions of modern dictionaries and reference books. The article lists some reference books published in the first decades of the 21st century and devoted to the same issues of spelling, grammar and speech culture investigated by D. E. Rosenthal. It is concluded that D. E. Rosenthal’s books remain to be relevant materials on the modern Russian language and writing. However, some of the recommendations given in the reference books by D. E. Rosenthal are outdated; in these cases, one should be guided by modern dictionaries and reference books.
