Full-time form

Students must successfully complete the following courses: “Introduction to Linguistics,” “Introduction to Slavic Philology (East Slavic Languages),” “Theoretical and Applied Course in the Ukrainian Language,” and “History of the East Slavic Languages.” Know: the history of the formation and development of East Slavic languages, understand the scientific and political debates surrounding this issue; the patterns of language development in the context of social factors; the Slavic component of the European and global linguistic landscape; be able to: use media resources as part of professional training in the context of information warfare; apply knowledge of European and other languages when working with information sources; possess basic cognitive skills for working with linguistic and sociocultural materials; apply modern methodologies of communicative strategies; predict the argumentative framework of linguistic material analysis.

The course focuses primarily on sociolinguistic issues related to the history of the Ukrainian language and its functioning, as well as the sociocultural, political, and territorial factors that have shaped the variations in its social status and societal functions throughout the modern and contemporary periods of the literary language’s development. The course covers a range of sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic issues related to bilingualism—both individual and widespread—diglossia, and the distortions of postcolonial interlingual relations. The course also includes an examination of language planning practices in other countries, an analysis of Ukraine’s current language policy, and the identification of its practical objectives.
