Course content
The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the origins of the Old Slavonic language, its phonetic, phonological, lexical, morphological, derivational and syntactic systems from a comparative-historical perspective, against the backdrop of linguistic phenomena and processes of the Indo-European and Proto-Slavic periods, with reference to corresponding linguistic features of modern Slavic languages, primarily Ukrainian; and to develop the skills and abilities to apply the acquired knowledge in the process of reading, annotating, translating and conducting comprehensive linguistic analysis of Old Slavonic texts.
