Fall Academic Term 2004 (September 7 - December 23)SLAVIC 483. Fundamentals of Slavic Linguistics.Slavic LinguisticsSection 001.Instructor(s): Jindrich Toman (ptydepe@umich.edu)Prerequisites: (3). May not be repeated for credit. Credits: (3). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. A comprehensive overview of the field of linguistics as it relates to Slavic Languages. Starting from the question, What does it mean to know a Slavic language?, the course reviews the areas of phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics, semantics, applied linguistics, and sociolinguistics. The main goal is to develop students' skills in analyzing data, forming and testing hypotheses, and arguing for the correctness of solutions.
SLAVIC 573. Old Church Slavic.Slavic LinguisticsSection 001.Instructor(s):Prerequisites: Graduate standing. (3). May not be repeated for credit. Credits: (3; 2 in the half-term). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. A solid knowledge of OCS is indispensable for doing further work in Russian linguistics, whether historical or synchronic; and for approaching Old Russian language and culture. This course comprises a thorough treatment of Old Church Slav(on)ic declension, conjugation, and morphophonemics, with two general aims: first, to prepare the participant for translation and textual commentary on the basis of texts read in the second half of the course; second, to provide an example of the rigorous morphological description of a Slavic language, producing techniques which may be applied to the description of languages other than OCS. The study of OCS is placed in its cultural context with readings in Schenker's The Dawn of Slavic. ORDER OF PRESENTATION OF MATERIAL: Topics will be covered in approximately the same order they are presented in Outline of OCS Morphology: first declension of nouns, second declension, third declension, fourth and special declensions, adjectival pronouns, adjectives, present tense, imperative, imperfect, aorist, participles. As soon as we cover the present tense of verbs, we will begin reading texts. Further handouts will summarize assignments and material for which you are responsible as of particular dates. GRADING: Examinations will test the ability to master OCS inflection and textology. Readings in Schenker will be tested primarily via short-identification tests. There will be a Midterm and a Final Examination.
