André Mazon as a Linguist No doubt, André Mazon (1881-1967) considered himself as a philologist. All his life, he has been interested in the multidimensional approach of ancient texts which different aspects he explored: linguistic, literary (with a special interest in text history) and cultural. Mazon is nonetheless the author of several important and clearly linguistic works: two dissertations devoted to the verbal aspect, two grammars (of Czech and Russian) and several papers dealing with linguistic problems. Mazon was a Slavist in the full sense of the word, mastering several Slavic languages (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Czech, Serbo-Croatian and Polish). He spent more than nine years in Slavic countries. After having recalled his role as a linguist during World War I, the article focuses on three aspects of his liguistic thought: 1. aspectology; 2. his approach of phonetics and resistance to Praguian phonology; 3. a classification of Russian verbs (he refused to radically separate synchrony and diachrony). The article points out the still valuable importance of his aspectologic works
