Students must successfully complete the following courses: “Theoretical and Practical Course in Modern Ukrainian,” “Theoretical and Practical Course in a Second East Slavic Language,” “History of East Slavic Languages,” “Introduction to Philology. Part 2. Introduction to Linguistics," and be familiar with: general information about the structure of languages and their morphological and syntactic levels; information on the history of the formation and development of East Slavic languages; grammatical categories; grammatical systems of East Slavic languages; be able to: apply linguistic tools in practice; use grammatical means of East Slavic languages to understand and create texts of various styles and genres; possess basic skills in: analyzing the semantics and functioning of word forms and syntactic constructions.

The course consists of three parts: 1) comparative phonetics, 2) comparative morphology, and 3) comparative syntax of the East Slavic languages. The course explains the nature and purpose of the comparative method using grammatical material from languages that share a single (Proto-Slavic) origin and have been in contact with one another for a long time. Based on comparative-typological observations in diachronic and synchronic aspects, the course examines both the common features of the grammatical systems of the East Slavic languages and the unique national specificity of each, resulting from the formation and evolution of a particular East Slavic language, with the development of its own methods of word formation, their combinability, and stylistic characteristics; grammatical categories are described with active use of academic grammars, dictionaries, online resources, and text corpora of East Slavic languages. The study of this discipline is essential for the training of linguists conducting applied research in the information space, and serves as an important theoretical and practical foundation for mastering professional skills in the fields of linguistics of influence and translation.
