Course objectives
A step-by-step linguistic characteristic to all of the contemporary literary Slavonic languages is given by this course: the brief data on account of the territorial dialects are mentioned too. Every language just being studied is illustrated by the reading of a short text. Participants thus can gain the broader look at the problematic of Slavonic languages. They will see how close genetically these languages are. It is believed that they, too, will learn how to distinguish particular Slavonic languages according to their specific typological features.
