Abstract:

The impact of the ecclesiastical languages Greek, Latin and Church Slavonic on
the Slavic standard languages still lacks a systematic analysis in the
theoretical framework of contact linguistics. Based on corpus data, this
volume offers an account in the light of “literacy language contact”, i.e.
contact between varieties that are used only in a written variant and only in
formal registers. Latin was used as literary language in medieval Slavia
Romana; Greek was the source language for Church Slavonic, which, in turn, was
the literary language for many Slavonic speaking communities and thus had an
enormous impact on the development of the modern Slavonic standard languages.
The book offers in-depth analyses of the impact of Latin on pre-Standard
Slavonic varieties, the influence of Greek on (Old) Church Slavonic and the
role of Church Slavonic as a source language for Old and Modern Russian. The
contributions discuss (morpho)syntactic phenomena such as non-finite clauses,
relative clauses, word order, the use and function of case and tense forms.
The volume addresses Slavists, general linguists and scholars of Classical
Philology interested in language contact and syntactic issues.
