The early years of Marina L. Remneva’s research were primarily influenced by N.M.Shansky’s and K.V.Gorshkova’s lectures. In 1968, Marina L. Remneva defended her PhD thesis on correlation of the system and the standard in using time and tense forms in the 15th-century Russian (Great Russian) language (based on the north eastern Russian records) under K.V.Gorshkova’s supervision.

Prof. Remneva’s research focuses on the issues of the history of the literary Russian language in the 11th—17th centuries, evolution and codification of the grammatical standard, as well as Old Slavonic. She was among the first to present the history of the Old Church Slavonic language in its variants from the 11th to the 17th centuries in such works as Vid i vremya russkogo glagola (diakhronicheskiy aspekt) [Tense and time of the Russian verb in diachrony] (Moscow, 1984; co-authored with O. V. Kukushkina); Istoriya russkogo literaturnogo yazyka. Osobennosti grammaticheskoy normy [History of the literary Russian language: features of the grammatical standard] (Moscow, 1988); Istoriya russkogo literaturnogo yazyka [History of the literary Russian language] (Moscow, 1995); Tserkovnoslavyanskiy yazyk: Grammatika s tekstami i slovarem [Old Church Slavonic: a grammar book with texts and glossary] (Moscow, 1999; the texts and the glossary are co-authored with V. S. Savelyev and I. I. Filichev); Puti razvitiya russkogo literaturnogo yazyka
In 2004, Prof. Remneva published the study guide on Old Slavonic. Based upon state-of-the-art scholarly concepts, it describes the Old Slavonic system of the 9th—11th centuries in detail. The author provides an extensive overview of the Proto-Slavic language, clearly delineating its development stages and outlining the underlying processes, their causes, interdependence and interaction. The book analyses a range of trends reflected in Old Slavonic records of the late 10th—11th centuries and shows the development of the local variants, including Old Russian; it also defines the role of the latter in the formation of the literary language of the Ancient Russia. Looking beyond the description of the Old Slavonic grammar, the author shares insights into the history of research, the development of the academic studies of the Proto-Slavic language, covering controversial issues of palaeoslavistics and general linguistics.
The second edition of the book (2004, Gaudeamus series) is complemented with an electronic hypertext-based course (by M.L.Remneva and O.V.Dedova) building a cultural and historical context of the Old Slavonic grammar features and providing illustrations. Prof. Remneva was awarded a special diploma of the Book of the Year 2005 national contest for the development of the innovative teaching package.
