"Letters 1000 Years Old" tells the story of a vital medieval Russian city in the words of those who lived there. Love notes, business transactions, and even a child's surprisingly familiar drawings and repetition of the alphabet were written on birchbark and preserved in layers of dirt underneath the city of Novgorod. These letters, available here in bulk for the first time in English translation, shed new light on medieval Russian literacy - including the ability of non-noble women to write in the 11th-14th centuries. The book features a concise review of the rise and fall of the Novgorod Republic - a state whose literacy disappeared together with its wealth in the 15th century.

The impact of the ecclesiastical languages Greek, Latin and Church Slavonic on the Slavic standard languages still lacks a systematic analysis in the theoretical framework of contact linguistics. Based on corpus data, this volume offers an account in the light of “literacy language contact”, i.e. contact between varieties that are used only in a written variant and only in formal registers. Latin was used as literary language in medieval Slavia Romana; Greek was the source language for Church Slavonic, which, in turn, was the literary language for many Slavonic speaking communities and thus had an enormous impact on the development of the modern Slavonic standard languages. The book offers in-depth analyses of the impact of Latin on pre-Standard Slavonic varieties, the influence of Greek on (Old) Church Slavonic and the role of Church Slavonic as a source language for Old and Modern Russian. The contributions discuss (morpho)syntactic phenomena such as non-finite clauses, relative clauses, word order, the use and function of case and tense forms. The volume addresses Slavists, General linguists and scholars of Classical Philology interested in language contact and syntactic issues.

The book is dedicated to the study of the causes and mechanisms of syntactic change in Slavonic languages, including internally motivated syntactic change, syntactic change under contact conditions (structural convergence, pattern replication, shift-induced transfer etc.): It also explores metalinguistic factors such as ideologically driven selection and propagation of syntactic structures.

This historical book reveals the secrets of the past, casting light on the dark corners of the relationship between Ukraine and Russia. It unfolds a large-scale picture of an age-old relationship, shedding light on the tragic events and indescribable feats of both nations. As we travel through time, we will discover that the history of these two peoples is intertwined with threads of complex events dating back to ancient times. Each page of the book reveals not only the fascinating drama of historical vicissitudes, but also pronounced features of national character that shape the fate of peoples. This deep dive into the past opens eyes to the true causes of much of Ukraine's suffering, revealing complex knots of political and cultural influences from Russia. But at the same time, it offers a new perspective on the relationship between these peoples, calling for understanding and healing of historical wounds. This historical book is a ruthless expose of Russia as the root of all Ukraine's ills. I will tear the covers off the centuries-old lies and manipulations of the Kremlin. I will prove that every historical tragedy in Ukraine has roots in Russian influence. From ancient times to modern times, we will look at the shocking truth hidden from us and see the real face of Russia as the main aggressor and oppressor of Ukraine. This is a guide to the true history of the two peoples, which will convince you to rethink the shared history of these countries.

This is the first full study of how people refer to entities in natural discourse. It contributes to the understanding of both linguistic diversity and the cognitive underpinnings of language and it provides a framework for further research in both fields. Andrej Kibrik focuses on the way specific entities are mentioned in natural discourse, during which about every third word usually depends on referential choice. He considers reference as an overt representation of underlying cognitive processes and combines a theoretically-oriented cognitive approach with empirically-based cross-linguistic analysis. He begins by introducing the cognitive approach to discourse analysis and by examining the relationship between discourse studies and linguistic typology. He discusses reference as a linguistic phenomenon, in connection with the traditional notions of deixis, anaphora, givenness, and topicality, and describes the way his theoretical approach is centered on notions of referent activation in working memory. He argues that the speaker is responsible for the shape of discourse and that referential expressions should be understood as choices made by speakers rather than as puzzles to be solved by addressees. Kibrik examines the cross-linguistic aspects of reference and the typology of referential devices, including referring expressions per se, such as free and bound pronouns, and referential aids that help to tell apart the concurrently activated entities. This discussion is based on the data from about 200 languages from around the world. He then proposes a comprehensive model of referential choice, in which he draws on concepts from cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, and applies this to Russian and English. He also draws together his empirical analyses in order to examine what light his analysis of discourse can shed on the way information is processed in working memory. In the final part of the book Andrej Kibrik offers a wider perspective, including deixis, referential aspects of gesticulation and signed languages. This pioneering work will interest linguists and cognitive scientists interested in discourse, reference, typology, and the operations of working memory in linguistic communication.
