Learning outcomes
|
These lectures and seminars aim to present the students with the outline of the basic development tendencies in Russian phonetico-phonological, morphological and syntactical system and the changes in lexicon occurring since the dissolution of late old Slavonic up to the present day. All these issues are to be viewed in a broader comparative context. The theoretical knowledge is applied in the phonological and grammatical analysis of old Russian texts. The acquired insight should, among other things, help the students to grasp the principles of some current trends in language. The course is focused on phenomena occurring in the past which can explain the present language situation. Particular attention is paid to comparison with the corresponding phenomena in Czech or in other Slavonic languages. It is especially crucial to focus on the impactful changes in phonology and grammar, explaining the language situation in the territory of East Slavonic nations in the period since the 10th century, when the Christian religion was adopted, till the 18th century, when the new Russian literary language was formed, and its following phases of development till the present day. Students will get familiar also with the development of lexicon and alphabet as well as with the Russian dialects.
