An Introduction to Old Russian
Monograph No. 15 – By William R. Schmalstieg
This monograph presents Old
Russian from which Eastern Slavic languages developed. Chapter one
provides a helpful introduction to the Cyrillic alphabet. Chapter two
concerns phonology, presenting how Slavonic became a branch in the
Indo-European language family and Russian a distinct language among the
Slavonic languages. The other chapters are on morphology: the
adjective, pronoun and numeral, noun, verb, and on cases, after which
there is a selection of readings from the Primary Chronicle, the Igor
Tale and the Smolensk Treaty as well as vocabulary and references. This
work is of particular interest to Indo-Europeanists.
The Cyrillic Alphabet; Brief Remarks on Phonology; The Adjective,
Pronoun and Numeral; The Noun; The Verb; A Few Remarks on Syntax;
Reading Selections; Vocabulary; References.
