History of Slavonic languages

[Christopher J. Syrnyk]

Even though I am not a linguist, I have to agree with Wayles. Should
I assume that Wayles is referring to the Eleventh Scholarly Edition
of the E.B? Wayles, or do you simply refer us to the "latest" edtion?
As for Vinokur's book, the introduction alone is worth one's trouble.

Best,
Christopher Syrnyk

>I don't know of a completely enjoyable introduction to the history of
>the whole Sl. language group, although the article in the Encyclopaedia
>Britannica is far from bad. For Russian specifically, there is an engagingly
>written little book:
>The Russian language; a brief history [by]
>G. O. Vinokur. Translated by Mary A. Forsyth, edited by James Forsyth.
>                  Cambridge [Eng.] University Press, 1971.
>                  x, 146 p. maps. 22 cm.
>Best wishes,
