She- velov, an eminent scholar, teacher, colleague, and a good friend, on his seventy-fifth birthday. His wide and manifold scholarly and teaching activity over the last fifty years is a significant contribution to Ukrainian and Slavic linguistics as well as to Ukrainian liteiary studies and literary criticism. Born on December 17, 1908, into a cultured middle-class family, Pro­ fessor Shevelov was brought up in standard modern Russian and Ukrainian. In his home he had contact with French and German which his parents knew well. He received his secondary and university educa­ tion in Kharkiv, where in 1939 he earned the degree of Kandydat filolo- hičnyx nauk with his thesis, “Sposterežennja nad movoju sučasnoji poeziji,” written under Leonyd Bulaxovs’kyj’s direction. In 1949, he earned his Ph.D. degree in Slavic Philology at the Ukrainian Free Uni­ versity in Munich, Germany. Professor Shevelov’s academic career began at the School of Journal­ ism (1931-1935) and at the Ukrainian Institute of Journalism (1933- 1939) in Kharkiv, where he was first Instructor, later Docent of Ukrain­ ian Language and Literature. In 1939, he was appointed Docent of Slavic Linguistics at the University of Kharkiv, where he taught until 1943. From 1941, he simultaneously held a Chair in the Department of Ukrainian Philology. In 1943, due to the worsening conditions of the war, he left Kharkiv for Lviv and then for Munich. In 1946, he was appointed Associate Professor of Slavic Philology at the Ukrainian Free University, where he taught until 1949. From 1950 to 1952, Professor Shevelov held the position of Lecturer in Russian and Ukrainian at the University of Lund, Sweden, and from 1952 to 1954, a similar position at Harvard University. In 1954, he was appointed Associate Professor of Slavic Philology at Columbia University, New York, where, after having been promoted to Professor in 1958, he taught until he retired in 1977 with the title of Professor Emeritus. Professor Shevelov was Visiting Professor at the University of Cali­ 10 THE ANNALS OF THE UKRAINIAN ACADEMY fornia, Berkely, in the summer of 1959, at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in the summer of 1965, and at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the summer of 1970. Since 1952, Professor Shevelov has lectured widely throughout the United States (at Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Pennsylvania State Univer­ sity, University of Pennsylvania, University of California in Berkeley, University of California at Los Angeles, Stanford, Syracuse, Brown, New York State University at Buffalo, Oakland, University of Michi­ gan, Ohio State University, and at the University of Pittsburgh), Can­ ada (at the University of Toronto, the University of Manitoba, and at the University of Alberta), and Europe (at the Universities of Helsinki, Stockholm, Uppsala, Gothenburg, Lund, Vienna, Berlin, Cologne, Munich, Paris, Aix-en-Provence, Copenhagen, and Oslo). Among the many distinguished grants and fellowships he has received are awards from the Guggenheim Foundation (1959), the American Council of Learned Societies (1964, 1967), the National Endowment for the Humanities (1974), and the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (1977). In 1971, Professor Shevelov was presented a volume of essays in Slavic linguistics

  • 90 JERZY TOMASZEWSKI Were Inferior
    Acta Poloniae Historica Jerzy Tomaszewski 19, 1968 THE NATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE WORKING CLASS IN THE SOUTH-EASTERN PART OF POLAND (1918-1939) Ascertainment of the real size of the national minorities within Poland's pre-1939 frontiers is a problem hedged with many difficulties. When the 1921 census was carried out, the migratory movement had not yet ceased, so that the reliability of the data is somewhat dubious.1 When the next census was carried out, in 1931, the objective circumstances were more auspicious, but the data were falsified by the administrative authorities, 2 so that subsidiary data have to be used to correct the bias. In the south-eastern part of Poland, comprising the then provinces of Lublin, Cracow, Lwów, Tarnopol, Stanisławów and Wołyń, which were largely inhabited by Ukrainians, questions of nationality were extremely complicated. Apart from Ukrainians, these areas contained Poles, Jews, small colonies of Czechs and Germans, and in the province of Polesie lived Byelorussians and Ukrainians. In some counties, the people still had little feeling of nationality. Polish nationalists sometimes denied the existence of the Ukrainians as a nation, or declared they 1 J.

Szturm de Sztrem, officials of the political departments in the District Offices went over the filled-in census forms and in the column marked "mother tongue" scored out some of the replies and wrote "Polish" Sometimes they actcd similarly with regard to the column marked "religion," in which case they wrote "Roman Catholic;" but this happened rare- ly.

  • 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.

  • Mapping the Ukrainian Poetry of New York
    Introduction: Mapping the Ukrainian Poetry of New York In the midst of ever-increasing quantity, anthologies enable individual voices to be heard above the collective noise. —Czeslaw Milosz1 In the very city of New York literally every day poets read their work in dozens of different places: at museums, churches, universities, various institutions, libraries, theatres, galleries, cafes and private places. […] Every place that has a roof is a place for poetry. —Bohdan Boychuk2 This poetry is no hymn to the homeland; rather the gaze of the allegorist, as it falls on the city, is the gaze of alienated man. It is the gaze of the flaneur, whose way of life still conceals behind a mitigating nimbus the coming desolation of the big-city dweller. —Walter Benjamin3 The Encounter Legend has it that on a mid-fall day in 1966, while on an official trip to New York City as part of the Soviet-Ukrainian delegation to the annual convention of the United Nations, Ivan Drach—then a thirty-year-old aspiring poet and screenwriter—managed to escape the KGB personnel tailing the poet and headed into a district of the city totally unknown to him. After wandering around this strange neighborhood, the poet stopped before a cafeteria, entered it, and spotted a bearded, bespectacled man sitting in the corner as if waiting for someone. Drach approached him; the two men shook hands. The bearded man, believed to be the American poet Allen Ginsberg, lived nearby in an area known as the East Village. The Ukrainian poet did not know conversational English well, and Ginsberg did not know any Ukrainian.

Front cover map: Evropa Recens Descripta by Guiliemo (Willem) Blaeu, 1649. Back cover map: Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis, by Frederik De Wit, 1660. Printed by Akademitryck AB, Edsbruk 2002 Abstract Preaspiration—the production of glottal friction at the juncture of a vowel and a consonant—appears to be typologically rare but is an areal lin- guistic feature of Northwestern Europe. This study contains a survey of the known geographical spread of preaspirated stops, their phonological distribution and phonetic expressions in some Nordic dialects. The study also suggests a reconstruction of the phonetics of the Proto-Nordic stop contrasts based on synchronic data as well as a more general framework of historical sound change. Following an introduction (Chapter 1), Chapter 2 deals with the definition and typology of preaspiration presenting a global overview of the known geographical spread of preaspiration. The apparent rarity of preaspiration is considered. Proposed, perceptually based explanations of this rarity are evaluated. Chapter 3 offers a fairly detailed account of the known areal spread of pre- aspiration in Europe. Stop systems of several dialects in which preaspira- tion occurs are analysed in terms of voicing conditions. These analyses are based mainly on descriptions provided in the dialectological literature.

  • The Cossack Myth: History and Nationhood in the Age of Empires
    THE COSSACK MYTH In the years following the Napoleonic Wars, a mysterious manuscript began to circulate among the dissatisfied noble elite of the Russian Empire. Entitled The History of the Rus′, it became one of the most influential historical texts of the modern era. Attributed to an eighteenth-century Orthodox archbishop, it described the heroic struggles of the Ukrainian Cossacks. Alexander Pushkin read the book as a manifestation of Russian national spirit, but Taras Shevchenko interpreted it as a quest for Ukrainian national liberation, and it would inspire thousands of Ukrainians to fight for the freedom of their homeland. Serhii Plokhy tells the fascinating story of the text’s discovery and dissemination, unravelling the mystery of its authorship and tracing its subsequent impact on Russian and Ukrainian historical and literary imagination. In so doing, he brilliantly illuminates the relationship between history, myth, empire, and nationhood, from Napoleonic times to the fall of the Soviet Union. serhii plokhy is the Mykhailo Hrushevsky Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University. His previous publications include Ukraine and Russia: Representations of the Past (2008)andThe Origins of the Slavic Nations: Premodern Identities in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus (2006).
