Dialect Contact and Convergence in Contemporary Hutsulshchyna By
Coming Down From the Mountain: Dialect Contact and Convergence in Contemporary Hutsulshchyna By Erin Victoria Coyne A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Johanna Nichols, Chair Professor Alan Timberlake Professor Lev Michael Spring 2014 Abstract Coming Down From the Mountain: Dialect Contact and Convergence in Contemporary Hutsulshchyna by Erin Victoria Coyne Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Johanna Nichols, Chair Despite the recent increased interest in Hutsul life and culture, little attention has been paid to the role of dialect in Hutsul identity and cultural revival. The primary focus of the present dissertation is the current state of the Hutsul dialect, both in terms of social perception and the structural changes resulting from the dominance of the standard language in media and education. Currently very little is known about the contemporary grammatical structure of Hutsul. The present dissertation is the first long-term research project designed to define both key elements of synchronic Hutsul grammar, as well as diachronic change, with focus on variation and convergence in an environment of increasing close sustained contact with standard Ukrainian resulting from both a historically-based sense of ethnic identification, as well as modern economic realities facing the once isolated and self-sufficient Hutsuls. In addition, I will examine the sociolinguistic network lines which allow and impede linguistic assimilation, specifically in the situation of a minority population of high cultural valuation facing external linguistic assimilation pressures stemming from socio-political expediency. -
(Ruthenian Or Rusyn) Language in Poland Lemkos
The 17th Meeting of the Baltic Division of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names Warszawa, 29 June – 01 July 2015 Maciej Zych Commission on Standardization of Geographical Names Outside the Republic of Poland Romanization rules for the Lemko (Ruthenian or Rusyn) language in Poland Lemkos (Ruthenians or Rusyns) is an ethnic minority which has been recognized in Poland on the basis of the Act of 6th January 2005 on national and ethnic minorities and on the regional languages. The act mentions, in addition to the Lemkos, 9 national minorities: Belorussian, Czech, Lithuanian, German, Armenian, Russian, Slovak, Ukrainian, and Jewish; 3 ethnic minorities – Karait, Roma, and Tartar; as well as one regional language – the Kashubian language. The Act lays down, among others, that traditional names in a minority language for localities, physiographic objects and streets may be used as “additional names” alongside geographic names established in the Polish language. To date (as of 1st June 2015), additional names have been introduced in 1204 localities and parts of them located in 57 communes. There were introduced: 27 Belarusian names, 359 German names, 779 Kashubian names, 9 Lemko names, and 30 Lithuanian names. Additional names in minority languages appear on road signs, they are also used on some maps. Pursuant to the Regulation of the Minister of Administration and Digitization of 14th February 2012 on the national register of geographical names, the Surveyor General of Poland shall maintain the database of the National Register of Geographical Names. In the Register, among others, officially adopted names in minority languages shall be listed. -
Contours and Consequences of the Lexical Divide in Ukrainian
Geoffrey Hull and Halyna Koscharsky1 Contours and Consequences of the Lexical Divide in Ukrainian When compared with its two large neighbours, Russian and Polish, the Ukrainian language presents a picture of striking internal variation. Not only are Ukrainian dialects more mutually divergent than those of Polish or of territorially more widespread Russian,2 but on the literary level the language has long been characterized by the existence of two variants of the standard which have never been perfectly harmonized, in spite of the efforts of nationalist writers for a century and a half. While Ukraine’s modern standard language is based on the eastern dialect of the Kyiv-Poltava-Kharkiv triangle, the literary Ukrainian cultivated by most of the diaspora communities continues to follow to a greater or lesser degree the norms of the Lviv koiné in 1 The authors would like to thank Dr Lance Eccles of Macquarie University for technical assistance in producing this paper. 2 De Bray (1969: 30-35) identifies three main groups of Russian dialects, but the differences are the result of internal evolutionary divergence rather than of external influences. The popular perception is that Russian has minimal dialectal variation compared with other major European languages. Maximilian Fourman (1943: viii), for instance, told students of Russian that the language ‘is amazingly uniform; the same language is spoken over the vast extent of the globe where the flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics flies; and you will be understood whether you are speaking to a peasant or a university professor. There are no dialects to bother you, although, of course, there are parts of the Soviet Union where Russian may be spoken rather differently, as, for instance, English is spoken differently by a Londoner, a Scot, a Welshman, an Irishman, or natives of Yorkshire or Cornwall. -

Journal of Language Contact 6 (2013) 134–159 brill.com/jlc Ukrainian in the Language Map of Central Europe: Questions of Areal-Typological Profiling Andrii Danylenko Department of Modern Languages and Cultures Pace University, New York [email protected] Abstract The paper deals with the areal-typological profiling of Ukrainian among languages of Europe, constituting Standard Average European (SAE) and especially Central European (CE). Placed recently in the context of the ‘areal typology’ and the ‘dynamic taxonomy’, Ukrainian together with Russian and Belarusian appear to be mere replica languages. Such languages are capable of only borrowing surface structures migrating all over the Europe unie or imitating deep structures on the model of SAE or CE. In order to elaborate on an alternative profiling of Ukrainian among languages of (Central) Europe, the author concentrates on both phonological and morphosyntactic features treated commonly as CE Sprachbund-forming (the spirantization of *g, the dispalatalization of the pala- talized consonants, the existence of medial l, the umlauting, the three-tense system, including a simple preterit from the perfect, and the periphrastic ‘ingressive’ future). As a result, the author advances another vector of areal classification, thus positioning Russian in the core of ‘Standard Average Indo-European’ and (Southwest) Ukrainian as an intermediate language between Russian and the rest of (Central) European languages. Keywords Ukrainian; North Slavic; Central European Sprachbund; ‘Standard Average Indo-European’; areal-typological profiling 1. Introduction In comparative and typological studies, Ukrainian has been routinely treated as a transitional language from East Slavic (cf. Jakobson, 1929; Stadnik, 2001:94) to North Slavic (Mrázek, 1990:28-30; Besters-Dilger, 2000), West Slavic (Lehfeldt, 1972:333-336) or even South Slavic (Smal-Stockyj and Gartner, 1913). -

East Slavic Dialectology: Achievements and Perspectives of Areal Linguistics
East Slavic Dialectology: Achievements and Perspectives of Areal Linguistics Björn Wiemer & Ilja A. Seržant 1. Introductory remarks The aim of this introductory chapter is to provide uptodate insights into East Slavic dialectological tradition against a background of dialectologi cal traditions and areal linguistics in Western Europe. We have also tried to take insights from areal typology and theorizing on language contact into account. Because of this perspective, we have tried to keep sight of the chronology of approaches and goals in dialectological research since the nineteenth century, and we focus in particular on the evolution of dialect geography, as we consider it to be a kind of linkage between dia lectology and areal linguistics (and typology). The main idea behind this paper and the volume in general is to foster the integration of dialectol ogy into other linguistic subdisciplines. We will argue below that (areal) typology, theory of language contact, historical linguistics and various approaches to grammar may considerably benefit from dialectology and, of course, vice versa. The structure of this introduction is as follows. We start with a sketch of the main lines along which dialectology in Western Europe (1.1–1.2) and in East Slavic countries (1.3) has been developing. This sketch is also meant to highlight the ideological orientations and more global research endeavours within which dialectology has been embedded. The first sec tion ends with a critical assessment of one of the most neglected fields of dialectology, namely dialectal syntax (1.4), emphasizing the importance of annotated dialectal corpora for progress in contemporary dialecto logical research. -

HarvardUkrainianStudies ,no. – (–): –. Introduction MH S. FR AR GRS W RS HR H RS of the conference States, Peoples, Languages: A Comparative Political History of Ukrainian, –, organized by the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute (HURI) at Harvard in June with the support of the Ukrainian Studies Fund. The bulk of the conference papers are published in this volume, and we have included an additional essay on the language question in Ukraine in the s. The essential goal of the conference, developed with the crucial contribution of Dr. Lubomyr Hajda, was straightforward and ambitious: HURI should go beyond the commemoration of the 5th anniversary of the Valuev Circular, which repressed the use of Ukrainian in the Russian Empire, to venture into a comparative, political history of Ukrainian not lim- ited to the circular’s impact in the late nineteenth century. Rather the Valuev document was to be taken as a springboard for examining issues that find their continuation, in changing circumstances, all the way to the present: from the late tsarist period to the chaotic years of war, revolution, and short-lived inde- pendence, from Soviet rule (in both its “moderate” and Stalinist manifestations) to the emergence of an independent Ukraine, laden still with the contradictions of its imperial Russian and Soviet legacies. Moreover, this history had to be situated in a long-term perspective, capable of shedding light on the origins of the Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Russian languages. The task clearly required an approach that could not be limited to the confines of one discipline. The Valuev Circular dealt with issues of language, and so had a direct connection to language study and philology, including the internal development of Ukrainian and its relationship, specifically, to Russian. -
