Abstract: The paper is an attempt to review the conference “The languages of Siberia and the marginal areas” which was organized in commemoration of the 90th anniversary of the well-known Russian linguist Dr., Professor Maya Ivanovna Cheremisina (30.10.1924–5.12.2014). M. I. Cheremisina has suggested the concept of a complex comparative-typological investigation of the complex sentence in the languages of the peoples of Siberia and has developed its methodology. Professor Cheremisina has also suggested the idea of creating a large-scale programme of investigating syntactic constructions in languages of various typologies, and very soon she became a recognized head of a scientific school which has united researchers belonging to various ethnicities, including scholars representing the indigenous population of Siberia, Kazakhstan and Cental Asia, in fruitful collaboration on language description and typology.
