As early as 1923, Trubetzkoy had coined the term of «league of languages» (jazykovoj sojuz), in a theological essay on the plurality of languages («The Tower of Babel and the confusion of Tongues»).
For Trubetzkoy, on the other hand, the evolution of the Slavic languages is totally different : they arose by divergence from a common ancestor, and now their geographical repartition forms the links of a chain (or rather a chain mail).
Trubetzkoy's and Jakobson's structuralism functions in a balanced mouvement backward and forward, it relies on a notion which existed prior to the Neo-Grammarians : organicism, while denying it by saying that linguistics is a social science, and it uses it to jump to the modern notion of structure.

 International Affairs Journal at UC Davis
Nikolai Sergeevich Trubetzkoy's The Legacy of Genghis Khan and Other Essays on Russia's Identity is a thorough critique of European civilization and the European orientation of the Russian elite.
Having a historical-cultural approach to social phenomena, Trubetzkoy substitutes "Romano-Germanic" for what is usually considered as "European," which is a deceptively geographic identification, despite the fact that all groups living in Europe are not considered to be part of the European civilization per se (Turks, Russians, Tatars, Chechens, Albanians, etc.).
Trubetzkoy considers the Turkic-Muslim groups in Russia to be fundamental elements of Russian identity, in that they, in large part, distinguish Russia from Western Europe.

 Detailed Description
With respect to diagnostics, linguists most often appeal to criteria such as naturalness, complexity, generality, implication, frequency, stability, ease of articulation, and salience of perception to determine which member of an opposition is marked (Rice 1999a, b, c).
Phonological criteria such as neutralization are also often used, with the output of neutralization considered to be unmarked (Trubetzkoy 1939/69; for recent work, see Lombardi 1991, 1998, forthcoming, Rigsby and Ingram 1990).
This approach was employed by Trubetzkoy (1939/69), Jakobson (1949), and Martinet (1964, 1970), to name a few notable theorists.

Here Trubetzkoy is not plagued by phoneticism as Hyman is. Be that as it may, it would be inappropriate to impute a whole fault such as witnessed in the above-quoted passage of Hyman to Trubetzkoy\rquote s occasional slips.

 Lawyers'' Language; The Distinctiveness Of Legal Language Summary
Trubetzkoy (1890–1939) is generally celebrated today as the creator of the science of phonology.
While his monumental Grundzüge der Phonologie was published posthumously and contains a summary of Trubetzkoy’s late views on the linguistic function of speech sounds, there has been, until now, no practical way to trace the development of his thought or to clarify the conclusions appearing in that later work.
The resulting collection offers a view of the evolution of Trubetzkoy’s ideas on phonology, the logic in laws of linguistic geography and relative chronology, and the breadth of his involvement with Caucasian phonology and the Finno-Ugric languages.

 Jakobson, Roman - HighBeam Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
He coined the term structural linguistics and stressed that the aim of historical linguistics is the study not of isolated changes within a language but of systematic change.
In Czechoslovakia in the late 1920s and the 30s, Jakobson and a few colleagues, most notably N. Trubetzkoy, developed what came to be known as the Prague school of linguistics.
They argued that synchronic phonology, the study of speech sounds in a language at a given time, must be considered in light of diachronic phonology, the study of speech sounds as they have changed over the course of the language's history.

 Opposition
In his pioneering study of phonology, however, Trubetzkoy (1939:59ff) distinguished different types of oppositions from several points of view.
These distinctions are based on his important insight, often forgotten in later semiotics, that an opposition between several terms must suppose some kind of similarity, a base of comparison, as well as properties which are different.
Even Trubetzkoy’s classifications turns out to be of little help when trying to understand these differences.

 Language Log: Noblesse Oblige
But in fact, as a phonetician, I've never been easy about that guy Nicholai Trubetzkoy, who wrote in his (posthumous) Grundzüge der Phonologie (1939) that "Phonetics is to phonology as numismatics is to economics".
The only thing that matters, on this view, is the system that these tokens implement: if you put someone else's face on the coins, or replace them with paper chits or digital messages, nothing important changes in the economic system.
This is Trubetzkoy's version of the structuralist credo that language is a system of relationships, where only the relationships really matter, not the items related.

 Phonology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince Nikolai Trubetzkoy's posthumously published work, the Principles of Phonology (1939), is considered the foundation of the Prague School of phonology.
Directly influenced by Baudouin de Courtenay, Trubetskoy is considered the founder of morphophonology, though morphophonology was first recognized by Baudouin de Courtenay.
Trubetzkoy split phonology into phonemics and archiphonemics; the former has had more influence than the latter.

Although Nikolay Sergeyevich Trubetzkoy lived only forty-eight years (1890-1938), he became one of the most influential scholars in the history of linguistics.
Outside a narrow circle of specialists, it is not generally known that, following his emigration from Russia, Trubetzkoy taught Russian literature at the University of Vienna and left a sizable body of work dating from that period.
Until now, with a few exception, Trubetzkoy’s studies in literary theory and history have been available only in Russian and German, but not in English.

 Foreword, Vol. 1: Philosophy of science, syntax, and semantics
In the review of Trubetzkoy (Harris 1941b:707), he said that “phonemes are not absolute but relative […] what is relevant in phonemics is only the contrast between one group of sounds and another.” This was not a new conception.
Continuing with the review of Trubetzkoy, and bearing in mind that phonemic segments are always in one-one correspondence to the phonemic contrasts that they represent, not to the phonetic descriptors or ‘phones’ with which they are associated:
What Harris rejects here is the notion advanced by Trubetzkoy and others that phonetic distinctions are relevant for determining phonemic contrasts, instead of being more or less useful for representing them in an organized way.

In Europe, the most important work was being done by the Prague School.
Most notably, Nikolay Trubetzkoy and Roman Jakobson headed the efforts of the Prague School in setting the course of phonological theory in the decades following 1940.
Jakobson's universalizing structural-functional theory of phonology, based on a markedness hierarchy of distinctive features, was the first successful solution of a plane of linguistic analysis according to the Saussurean hypotheses.
