Students will get an insight into the differences and parallels between the branches of the Slavic languages and into the basic evolutionary processes of forming the Slavic languages from the oldest times till present day. The knowledge gained from the diachronic approach to language can be applied also for assessing the synchronic grammatical phenomena.
