5.0 out of 5 starsVery useful indeed, one of the best entries in this series
By Christopher Culver TOP 1000 REVIEWER on March 8, 2007
Format: Paperback
THE SLAVONIC LANGUAGES, edited by Bernard Comrie and Greville G. Corbett, is one of the best installments in Routledge's Language Family Description series. Originally published in library binding in 1993, it is now available in significantly less expensive paperback, making it finally accessible to students of linguistics.

Comrie and Corbett contribute an Introduction giving a synchronic sketch of some of the general features of the Slavonic languages, such as aspect, rich nominal and verbal morphology, and various oppositions of palatalization. Paul Cubberly has written a chapter on alphabets and transliteration that ranges from the polemic history of the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets up to modern literary reforms and 20th century Cyrillic-Latin conversion schema. A chapter on Proto-Slavonic appears from Alexander Schenker, esentially identical to the same chapter in his later book THE DAWN OF SLAVIC (Yale University Press, 1996), treating the evolution of Common Slavonic out of (late, NW) Proto-Indo-European. There's also a chapter on the Slavonic languages in emigration, continuing the trend in this series (as in THE GERMANIC LANGUAGES) of considering contemporary developments.

The Slavonic languages covered are Old Church Slavonic, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbo-Croat, Slovene, Czech, Slovak, Sorbian, Polish, Cassubian, Polabian, Russian, Belorussian, and Ukrainian. One regrets the lack of Rusyn, but students can rejoice that Polabian is covered in as exhaustive a depth as possible considering its limited attestation, and Cassubian is treated in its own right instead of just getting a brief mention as a "dialect" in the Polish chapter.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsWorth Ever Penny
By Blah on February 2, 2005
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Like most language books this one is pretty expensive. However, the price is well worth it if you have an interest in multiple slavic (or slavonic) languages. This book is primarily for linguists but would be interesting for anyone with a love for languages. There is some technical jargon but not too much. I myself am not a linguist but was able to understand quite easily.

The book contains chapters on fourteen languages including the following: PRoto-Slavonic, Old Church Slavonic, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbo-Croatian, Slovene, Czech, Slovak, Sorbian, Polish, Cassubian, Polabian, Russian, Belorussian, and Ukrainian. Each Chapter contains six sections as follows: 1. Introduction/history of the language 2.Phonology 3. Morphology 4. Syntax 5. Lexiography 6. Dialects

Each of the chapters is written by a different expert. I found the Bulgarian and the Serbo-Croatian section to be both helpful and complete conjugation charts and declension patterns are included in their respective languages. There is also a good discusions of similarities and differences between each of the languages. Overall you will not be able to find a more complete and percise grammar summary of all the slavic languages. This book is well worth your time and money.
