The life of Semjon Karlovič Boyanus (1871–1952) was long and so productive that one might think that Boyanus was several authors’ nom-de-plume. A graduate of St. Petersburg University, Boyanus was an actor and theatre director; he studied the history of theatre and worked at the Institute of the History of Arts; he was Lev Vladimirovič Ščerba’s student of phonetics and Ščerba’s co-organizer of the Institute of Phonetics. In the 1920s, he studied phonetics in London, under Daniel Jones and Lilias Eveline Armstrong. Later on, he taught various subjects of the Germanic cycle at Leningrad State University and published the first textbook of English phonetics for speakers of Russian (1926). He was Vladimir Karlovič Mueller’s co-editor of English-Russian and Russian-English dictionaries. In 1934, Boyanus left for Great Britain, where he established School of Russian and published a manual of Russian phonetics that combined the achievements of Russian and British phonetic science.
