SEELANGers/AATSEELers,

A transformer/power source for a Toshiba was found at AATSEEL 2001 in New
Orleans.  We held it at the registration desk for a couple of days waiting
for someone to claim it.  No one did, so we have brought it back to our
office.  Drop a note if it's yours.

Regards,

Jerry

Subject: Call for Panel Declarations, AATSEEL 2002
Message-ID: <THU.3.JAN.2002.101430.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the AATSEEL Program Committee, I would like to thank the
conference participants and reviewers who made the 2001 AATSEEL annual
meeting in New Orleans such a success. We are now preparing for the 2002
conference.

This year's AATSEEL annual meeting will be held in New York on 27-30
December. We invite you to submit panel declarations in linguistics,
literature and culture, and pedagogy to be published in the Call for Papers
in the February AATSEEL Newsletter. The deadline for panel declarations to
be published in the Newsletter's Call for Papers is 10 January 2002. The
Call for Papers, including panel declarations that arrive later than 10
January, will also be published on the AATSEEL conference web site.

We invite panel chairs to submit brief descriptions of their panels in
those cases where the panel title alone might not sufficiently explain the
intent of the panel.

The Program Committee would like to emphasize that panel chairs are welcome
to shape their own panels and to invite participants to submit abstracts
for a specific panel. (Chairs may not, however, present papers at their own
panels.) Abstracts of all who wish to give papers are due by 15 April or 1
August and subject to double-blind peer review. Authors may submit an
abstract for a specific panel or for the conference as a whole.

We would also like to remind you that all conference participants must be
AATSEEL members in good standing for 2002 or request a membership waiver.
Membership renewal forms will be sent later this year. You may also see the
AATSEEL web site about membership at http://clover.slavic.pitt.edu/~aatseel.

If you wish to post a panel declaration, please send the form appended
below to one of the following contact persons. You are welcome to submit a
panel declaration form by e-mail, fax, or post. We look forward to hearing
from you, by 10 January if possible.

With best wishes,

Karen Evans-Romaine

Message-ID: <MON.7.JAN.2002.051138.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

It is with great regret that I announce the passing of Sir Dimitri
Obolensky, who died at the age of eighty-three on 23rd December 2001.  He
had been in increasingly poor health for the last few months.  Sir Dimitri
was one of the most eminent Byzantinists and Slavists of his generation;
among other achievements too well-known to need enumerating, his conception
of the "Byzantine Commonwealth" has had a profound influence on both
Byzantine and Slavonic studies, and there can be few mediaevalists who are
not in some way indebted to his contribution.  Sir Dimitri's funeral took
place at Oxford on January 3rd; there will be a memorial service at a later
date.  A full obituary may be found at

Dear Seelangers,

Our office is currently looking for a text scanner for the Russian Language.  I know that many exist, in the past I was told that most were very low quality and took more time than if I were to just re-type the text.  

I know that times have changed, and technology improves.  Does anyone out there have a recommendation for an OCR Russian text scanner?

Thanks for your help.

Marissa Polsky,
      For what it is worth I have used Finereader for several years.  I
have done a lot of scanning of old articles with mixed Cyrillic and
English.  The results are never perfect but certainly save a lot of time
retyping.  Italic and bold letters are often confused and tables usually do
not keep their shape.  On the whole I am satisfied and the help has been
good.  In the US Smartlink sells the program put out by Abbyy Software
House in Moscow.

FineReader or FineReader Pro. Even the non-pro version that comes
bundled with some scanners gives very good results for Russian and a
number of other languages. A long-awaited Mac version seems to be
out, too.

The University of Chicago Slavic Department's annual conference, The Slavic
Forum will be held on the campus of the University of Chicago on April 12th and

of Russia, Central and Eastern Europe to submit abstracts for a twenty-minute

consider proposals for any work in these fields, Slavic Forum 2002 would like to
encourage papers which focus on the classics and/or canons of the particular
fields represented in the conference.

 Slavic Forum 2002 will publish the proceedings of the conference
 electronically. Selected papers may appear in the first issue of The Slavic
 Forum Almanac. Information about the Slavic Forum, including programs from past
conferences, can be found at the University of Chicago Graduate Slavic Society
web site <http://humanities.uchicago.edu/orgs/slavgrad/>.

 Please send a one-page abstract (approximately 250 words or less) to Prof.
Robert Bird at bird at uchicago.edu by February 1, 2002.  Although we prefer to
receive abstracts via e-mail, they may also be sent by post to the following
address:

Dear SEELANGers,

I am writing to announce the call for papers for the Slavic-themed panels
for this year's annual convention of the Modern Language Association of
America, which will take place December 27-30 in New York City (the panels
are sponsored by the MLA's Division on Slavic and East European
Literatures and the Discussion Group on Slavic Literatures and Cultures,

the MLA by April 1 at the latest in order to participate in the
conference (membership waivers may be requested by non-North American
presenters).


The panels are:

"(Post)communist Responses to Globalization." Please e-mail paper
abstracts by March 15 to Vitaly Chernetsky (vac10 at columbia.edu).

"Famous Last Words in Life and Literature."  The use of (falsified) last
words for ideological-propagandistic purposes; the use of "elevating" last
words for diminishing death fear in the as yet living; the motif of last
moments in literary texts.  Please e-mail abstracts by March 15 to Irene
Masing-Delic (irene at hiperism.com).

"'Clash of Civilizations': Representations of Slavic/Muslim Encounters."

Dear SEELANGERs,

Wishing you all the best on the Russian X-mas :). I would like to
recommend an article about Belarusian language that I posted on my new
Web site. Even if you are not interested in Belarusan studies, I think
it is worth taking a look. At least, personally I found it useful,
although some language trends that Goujon is talking about have changed
since the time she is writing about (approx. 1996-1998). I am looking
forward to hearing your opinion.

The article's URL: http://www.pravapis.org/art_goujon1.asp

Uladzimir Katkouski

                    (Morpho)phonological acquisition
             in the light of current phonological theories

         [PLEASE NOTE THE EXTENDED ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE]

DATE: 2 March 2002
LOCATION: Warszawa (Warsaw)

Sponsored by the Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw


                           3rd Call for Papers

GLiP-4 is the second meeting in the GLiP series devoted to phonology
and morphophonology, this time with a focus on language acquisition.

We invite abstracts on the acquisition of phonology and
morphophonology from the perspective of current adult-based theories.
We welcome discussion of learnability issues as well as
theoretically-oriented analyses of acquisitional data. Although the
focus is on L1 phonology, abstracts concerning aspects of L2
acquisition will also be considered.

The workshop is meant as a contribution to the on-going debate on (1)
how successfully current advances in phonology and morphophonology can
be applied to account for what Menn (1983) terms "detours of the
unskilled learner", and (2) the role that the analysis of
developmental data can play in evaluation of competing adult-based
(morpho)phonological theories.

We would also like to draw some attention to the rarely addressed
problem of acquisition of languages with complex morphophonology, and
to test the common belief that acquisitional data from such languages
can shed light on how children come to terms with the abstract
phonological structure of the target language. In other words, we are
interested in how and when children internalize adult phonological
processes and representations, and in how the acquired adult-based
processes interact with reduction processes in their interim
grammars.

The format of the workshop is 30 min for presentation + 15 min
question time. The language of the conference is English.

A volume of proceedings is also planned. See the GLiP pages at
http://venus.ci.uw.edu.pl/~glip/ for details about the previous
proceedings volumes.

CONFERENCE FEES (estimated):
---------------

   - Regular: 60 PLN

DATES:
-----

   - DEADLINE for receipt of abstracts:    20 January 2002

   - Meeting:                               2 March 2002


ABSTRACTS:
---------

Should be *anonymous* (i.e., they should contain no personal data or
explicit self-references) and consist of up to 700 words, together
with examples and references.

Because abstract forwarding to referees will be done by e-mail
exclusively, the following are the possible formats of attachments, in
*descending* order of preference:

   (Plain Text) > Postscript > PDF > (La)TeX > Word for Windows '97

In cases when there is no need to use special phonetic symbols or
phonological representations/rules, we strongly encourage PLAIN TEXT
submissions.

We regret to say that other formats will not be accepted.

Should the electronic version of the abstract need special phonetic
fonts apart from the SIL IPA fonts (http://www.sil.org/), please
attach them as well. (We strongly discourage this practice though, and
reserve the right to ask for a resubmission in a different format.)

Those who submit abstracts in (*self-contained*!) (La)TeX should best
use the tipa.sty package. See our web pages for pointers to the
relevant web sites.

Only one submission per person and one joint submission will be
considered.

Please note: do NOT send abstracts on diskettes. We will accept
*e-mail* submissions *exclusively*.

Subject: Translation Query
Message-ID: <THU.10.JAN.2002.113048.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear SEELANGERS,
I am working on a translation concerning the history of a convent and have
stumbled over some of the religious terminology.  Perhaps one of you will be
able to enlighten me.
1.  Ivana postnogo:  it is explained in the text that this is the
prostonarodnyj abbreviation for "prazdnik Useknovenija glavy sv. Ioanna
Predtechi."  Would "John's Fast" convey what a Russian hears in "Ivana
postnogo"?  I'm not sure how to deal with postnyj as an adjective modifying
Ivan.
2.  Nikitskij sorok:  This sounds from context like a conglomeration of
Moscow churches, but I'm not sure.  The sentence reads:  Sobornuiu tserkov
Ioanna Predtechi pereveli v razriad prikhodskikh s zachisleniem ee v
Nikitskij sorok...  While I have found many Russian-lanaguage internet
mentions of this Nikitskij sorok, they haven't been enough to clarify
exactly what it is.

Any help would be appreciated.

 Dear friends,
 Ab Imperio Quarterly announces its annual theme and invites interested authors to submit manuscripts for publication. The annual theme for the year 2002 is Russian Empire/USSR and Paradoxes of Modernization. There will be four thematic issues, each covering a specific field of inquiry.

In particular, we are interested in manuscripts that relate to the experiences of  Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Far East, Middle East and North America. Please, see more details on AI and contact information below.

                      2002 annual theme:

 Ab Imperio quarterly is a newly established and exciting journal dedicated to the study of nationalism and nationalities in the post-Soviet realm in comparative perspective. The journal regularly publishes new works by leading American, European and Russian scholars on history, sociology, political science, economics and other disciplines as they relate to nationalism, nation building, multiethnic states in Central and Eastern Europe, former Russian Empire/USSR.

 The journal is founded and run by five editors residing in 4 different countries (Russia, US, Germany, Hungary). All editors represent a new generation of scholars and possess both Russian and Western academic degrees. The journal is published in English and Russian, while manuscripts are accepted in English, Russian, German, French, Polish, Ukrainian. 

 The journal regularly informs the readers of the current events in the academic life of the region as they pertain to the general theme of the publication. Moreover, the journal is actively engaged in the process of developing new teaching tools (syllabi, reading lists, databases) to be used in the former Soviet bloc countries and abroad.

The first two years of Ab Imperio existence have been marked by steady interest in the publication. Many research libraries in US, Europe and Japan are subscribers to Ab Imperio (more than 300 addresses outside of the former USSR). Most universities in Russia and the NIS receive a free copy of Ab Imperio. 

The editors of Ab Imperio have announced the annual theme for the year 2002 as Russian Empire/USSR and Paradoxes of Modernization. Full description and call for papers can be found at   http://aimag.knet.ru/cgi-bin/aishow.pl?idlang=1&state=flyer_en

 Editors of Ab Imperio

Eloise-

There are not very many organized group programs at all to my knowledge. The
School of Russian and Asian Studies (www.sras.org) does offer Russian
language study in Sochi, with some options to tailor the program for those
interested in the health tourism industry.

Dear Nora,

         (1)  Re: "Ivana postnogo" -- "John's Fast" is literally correct as
a translation, but the full meaning, as your text explains, is the Day (29
August) of the Fast of the Beheading of John the Forerunner/Precursor
(Baptist); with or without parentheses or brackets or footnote, you might
include some of this more full info; one could, e.g., say "John's Day," or
"the Fast Day of [St.] John [the Baptist]," with footnote:  "the Fast Day
of the Beheading of John the Baptist (29 August)," plus you have to decide
how to render "Predtecha":  Precursor/Forerunner/Baptist.  All of this
depends on how picky and detailed you want your translation and its
supporting apparatus to be.

         (2)  Re: "Nikitskii sorok" -- you're on the right track with your
"conglomeration of Moscow churches."  The Stoglav Council in 1551 decreed
(Chap. 6) that seven church districts should be established in Moscow, that
a "cathedral(sobor)" should be designated in each of the seven districts,
and that a priest supervisor (popovksii starosta) should be appointed to
each sobor to oversee and supervise the qualifications and practices of
parish priests.  Seven districts were in fact delineated at the time of the
council, each containing approx. 40 churches, and thus the nomenclature
arose of calling each district a "forty," one of which was Nikitskii (the
others were Kremlevskii, Kitaigorodskii, Zamoskvoretskii, Prechistenskii,
Sretenskii, and Ivanovskii).
         The expression "sorok sorokov" apparently arose from cross
procession days, when priests and parishioners (from approx. 40 churches)
processed to their district (sorok) "cathedral(sobor)."  As I understand
it, the expression did not originally mean that there were 40 times 40
(=1,600) "churches" in Moscow as of, say, the 1550s, but that cross
processions and parish priests proceeded in each district (sorok) from the
40 (sorok) churches to the district sobor.  In 1594, by which time Moscow
had grown and an 8th district sobor was designated, each sobor had
approx.100 district priests assigned to it.  I haven't researched it, but
it is my impression that the nomenclature of "sorok" districts fell into
disuse at about this time, while the expression "sorok sorokov" came to
mean 40 X 40 churches.  What is the date of your text that refers to the
Nikitskii sorok?

         Numbers of individual church buildings are frequently hard to
determine:  many churches had more than one consecrated altar, each altar
might have a priest assigned to it, and statistics frequently refer to the
number of consecrated altars (not separate church buildings).  For example,
a 17 February 1551 decree naming priest supervisors for Moscow states that
there were 644 churches in Moscow, but if one adds district totals in the
same decree, the total is only 300.  My guess:  there were about 300 church
buildings at the time (which is close to 7 districts times 40 churches),
but a total of 644 consecrated altars.  Figures for 1917:  848 church
buildings (khramy) in Moscow, and 1,620 consecrated altars.  To
repeat:  most estimates are inflated in the sense that consecrated altars
are frequently being counted (not "churches" in the sense of individual
buildings).   One practice that the prelates of the Stoglav Council tried
to reduce was "altar inflation":  secondary altars would be consecrated in
a church, a priest would wrangle an appointment to one of them, and then
the priest with some justification could beg the tsar or the prelates for
financial support since the priest had few if any parishioners on whom to
rely.  In the 17th century the Kremlin Archangel Michael Cathedral had 12
consecrated altars, the Annunciation Cathedral had 9, and the main church
of the Chudov Monastery had 7 altars.  Each altar (indeed, each altar
cloth:  antimins/antimension) could be counted as a "church (tserkov')" in
the sense that a daily liturgy could be performed at it.

         By the way, what is the source (and its date) that you're
translating, concerning what convent, and for what years?

The above strays beyond your questions, but I hope some of it helps.

Dorogie SEELANZhane,

Many newspapers and current affairs magazines also publish all or some articles on line.
I'm looking for websites offering press reviews of such articles to avoid having to wade
through all these websites seperately, looking for articles of interest.

Are you aware of any such sites for publications in the Russian, Polish or Czech language?
Ideally, they would be updated regularly (daily), be freely accessible, as would be the
articles they link to.
(As an example, I would be looking for Slavic equivalents of the following site:
<http://www.nfhdata.de/premium/datenbasis-information/pages/Presseschau-

MUSIQUE TCHEQUE ET CULTURE FRANCAISE
Echanges et influences dans l'Europe du XXe siecle

Colloque international
dans le cadre de La Saison tcheque en France
organise par L'Observatoire musical Francais &
Le Centre interdisciplinaire d'etudes centre-europeennes
Universite de Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV)
1 rue Victor Cousin -75230 Paris cedex 5 - France

14-16 novembre 2002

S'il est vrai qu'en France et, plus largement, en Europe occidentale, la
culture musicale des Pays tcheques - Boheme, Moravie et Silesie - est
relativement bien connue, il faut bien admettre que cette "musique
tcheque" (l'expression est sans doute sujette a caution en raison de son
caractere simplificateur) se trouve souvent reduite a quelques noms :
Dvorak, Smetana, Janacek. En d'autres termes, il semble bien que, douze
ans apres le demembrement du "rideau de fer", la connaissance de la
culture musicale tcheque dans les pays occidentaux reste partielle, alors
meme que, depuis des siecles, l'art tcheque est indissociable de la
culture europeenne.
 
Au XXe siecle, ce sont les annees vingt et trente qui constituent la
periode la plus faste dans le domaine des echanges culturels :
compositeurs, peintres, sculpteurs et ecrivains tcheques participent alors
activement aux mouvements et aux courants artistiques internationaux, tout
en etablissant avec ceux-ci un veritable dialogue constructif, n'hesitant
pas a y puiser leur inspiration tout en les enrichissant, en retour, par
leurs contributions et par leurs approches aussi specifiques
qu'originales. A cette epoque, c'est precisement vers la France que se
tourne le tout nouvel Etat d'Europe centrale ne du demembrement de
l'Empire austro-hongrois : il n'est donc pas excessif d'affirmer que la
periode de l'entre-deux guerres est resolument placee sous le signe des
cooperations franco-tcheques, du fait, notamment, des choix d'ouverture et
d'echanges de la politique culturelle tchecoslovaque de ce temps.

Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la France et la
Tchecoslovaquie se retrouvent brutalement dans des camps opposes. Que
deviennent alors les echanges franco-tcheques dans le domaine musical ?
Sont-ils voues a disparaitre ou bien changent-ils simplement de nature ?
Avec la construction du "rideau de fer", la reponse est evidente sur le
plan physique. Mais qu'en est-il des autres formes d'echanges - courants
de pensee, mouvements artistiques, influences ? De meme, comment se
traduit, dans les faits, le retablissement des relations consecutif a la
"Revolution de velours" de 1989 ? En particulier, peut-on reellement
parler de tentatives pour renouer avec la tradition d'ouverture de
l'entre-deux guerres ? Et, a propos des annees vingt et trente, n'y a-t-il
pas lieu de se demander si certains aspects de cet art tcheque se
developpant en liaison avec les courants des pays occidentaux - en
particulier francais - ne demeurent pas, encore aujourd'hui, meconnus ?
Quels sont-ils, en quoi temoignent-ils de l'esprit de cooperation
franco-tcheque caracteristique de cette periode ?

Autant de questions que se propose de soulever ce colloque, dont l'objet
est de dresser un etat des lieux sur les influences - parfois
insoupconnees - de la culture francaise sur la "musique tcheque" tout au
long du XXe siecle du point de vue de la creation, de l'interpretation et
de la perception musicale. En parallele, et plus en amont, ce colloque
sera egalement l'occasion de s'interroger sur d'autres domaines d'echanges
entre les deux pays : de la reflexion theorique aux liens entre la
creation musicale tcheque et la litterature ou les arts plastiques
francais.

Si le colloque se limite au XXe siecle, les domaines abordes, en revanche,
seront variés : des parentes esthetiques a l'etude thematique comparee des
courants et des styles, en passant par l'histoire de la musique, les
influences dans les disciplines theoriques du domaine musical ou les
oeuvres nees d'une reelle cooperation entre artistes francais et tcheques.

Duree des interventions : 30 minutes.
Langue : francais.

L'intervenant pourra disposer d'un retroprojecteur, d'un projecteur de
diapositives, ainsi que d'un lecteur de CD et cassettes.

Les personnes interessees par ce colloque sont priees d'envoyer un resume,
en 10 lignes environ, de la communication avant le 30 avril 2002 a
l'adresse suivante :

_Ivan postnyj_ could be the Baptist, I suppose.  But check this at the
entry _Postnik"_ in Georgij D'jachenko's _Polnyj cerkovno-slavjanskij
slovar' (1889, rpt. 1993): [...] Eto nazvanie [postnik] osobenno pridano
Ioannu, patriarxu konstantinopoo'skomu, za udivitel'noe ego vozderzhanie;

Subject: Call for Panel Declarations, AATSEEL 2002
Message-ID: <SUN.13.JAN.2002.105621.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Colleagues,

Please note the declarations / call for papers for two panels below for the meeting in New
York:

New Media Theory and Experimental Languages in Russian Art

Lev Manovich, an immigrant from the former Soviet Union, has become a new guru in North
American new media theory. It is clear that he himself has been influenced by theory and
practice of Russian avant-garde and experimental narrative and visual languages developed in
Russian culture, as well as by theoretical breakthroughs of Russian thought on art, language,
and culture.
I propose a panel, which will trace and  discuss the connection between current developments
in  new media theory and theory/practice of experimental art in the history of Russian culture.

Contact: Lily Alexander, University of Toronto
lily.alexander at utoronto.ca

Dostoevsky and World Cinema

In addition to dozens of adaptations of his novels in many national cinemas, Dostoevsky has
profoundly influenced many outstanding directors, such as Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Scorcese and
others, as many of them acknowledged. The proposed panel will focus on direct and indirect
influences of Dostoevsky on world cinema.

From AHRJJ at CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU  Tue Jan 15 04:05:56 2002
From: AHRJJ at CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (Alex Rudd)
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 23:05:56 EST
Subject: SEELANGS Administrivia - Proposed Addition to Welcome message
Message-ID: <MON.14.JAN.2002.230556.EST.>

Dear SEELangers,

This message is the follow-up to a message I posted here
on November 11th, 2001.  For those who missed that post,
or would simply like to refresh their memories for purposes
of context, you can have LISTSERV e-mail you another copy
of it by sending the command:

GETPOST SEELANGS 15286

in the body (not the Subject: line) of e-mail to:

LISTSERV at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU

In response to my request for comments, I received 27 messages
from you.  Most contained no specific requests or suggestions,
but simply expressed support for the way in which I had handled
the situation.  To those who took the time to send along
concrete suggestions and insightful observations, I thank you,
as they were useful.  I'm sorry I didn't have the time to
respond to everyone individually.

In general, most respondents felt there was no need to alter
or further clarify the purpose of this list.  Some specifically
requested that it be kept as restricted to "topics concerning
Slavic Languages and Literatures" as possible.  However, others
rightly pointed out that what may qualify as such a topic is
open to interpretation, and some guidance may be necessary.  My
opinion is that observation for awhile of the discussions and
topics seen here is the best guidance for any new, or existing,
list member.

Two other prominent themes emerged from among the comments sent
me:

First, it is upsetting to see intemperate messages posted to
SEELANGS by some list members in response to those posts
perceived by them to be inappropriate and not sufficiently
related to our core purpose.

Second, although the message that started this particular ball
rolling may have been inappropriate subject matter for SEELANGS,
it is not always a simple matter to separate the discussion of
politics from discussions of Slavic Languages and Literatures,
as an understanding of a given set of political concerns may
be required for linguistic comprehension in a particular context.

Accordingly, I have drafted language I propose we add to the
Welcome message that greets new SEELANGS subscribers.  Here
it is:

--- Begin ---

Use of the List
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are many people subscribed to SEELANGS.  Most are instructors
or students of one type or another, and all of them presumably have
some interest in Slavic Languages and Literatures.  List members'
specific areas of interest vary, as does the knowledge they bring
to our discussions.  Please remember that every other list member
is deserving of your respect, and conduct yourself accordingly when
posting.

Specifically, remember that "Slavic Languages and Literatures" is
what brings people to this list, yet not every post will contain
a question or comment fitting neatly under that heading.  If you
are concerned that someone has posted something falling, in your
opinion, too far from the central purpose of the list, do not
write to the entire list to express your displeasure.  Instead,
first understand that there must be some amount of wiggle room on
a list like SEELANGS, as there will be small differences in what
subscribers expect to see here.  If you are new to the list, please
observe for awhile to see the uses to which most members put it.

If you must voice your opposition to the fact that a given subject
has been raised on the list, please write directly to the list
owners, as they will be in a position to take action, or explain
why taking action is not warranted.  The list owners can be
reached by writing to:

SEELANGS-Request at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU

For purposes of clarification, please note that the discussion of
discrete political matters is not welcome on SEELANGS.  However,
as political and other concerns have influenced Slavic Languages
and Literatures, if posting on such a theme, use common sense and
recognize when your contribution has ceased to be about aiding
linguistic comprehension, and has begun to be purely political.
There are many other discussion lists and similar on-line discussion
forums that exist solely for the discussion of politics, and you
should not confuse SEELANGS with them.

--- End ---

Although a couple of people requested that I include specific
examples of topics both acceptable and unacceptable, I chose
not to do that to avoid the additional confusion I feel doing
so would have created.

If there's no serious concern with that language, I anticipate
adding it to the Welcome message within the next few days with
no further announcement here.

For those of you who've never seen our Welcome message, you can
always grab your own copy by sending the command:

GET WELCOME SEELANGS

in the body of e-mail to:  LISTSERV at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU

It's also available on our Web site; URL below.

Please direct any response to this message to me off-list.

Thanks.

- Alex, list owner of SEELANGS    seelangs-request at listserv.cuny.edu

Message-ID: <TUE.15.JAN.2002.131107.0800.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Have a look at the website of the German-Russian
Exchange (GRE)at www.austausch.com, (there's fairly
detailed info in English as well as in German), they
regularly send students and young people on
internships in Russia (not just Germans, people from
lots of countries) and have contacts to all sorts of
organisations from social projects to environmental
projects, placing people in NGOs and in their own
offices - their website has a good links page to the
organisations themselves, or you can go through GRE
who provide quite good organisational support and
advice, occasionally funding as well, but this is
usually for longer placements.
I did an intership through them with an environmental
organisation in Irktusk(www.baikalwave.eu.org), which
was fantastic.
Hope that helps!
Katy Harris

1) Unlimited teaching English opportunities; the pay
varies, though I would try to stay away from those
organisations that you pay to find you an unpaid job.

2) If interested in business, try the Big Five
accountancy firms, western law firms with
representative offices. There are lots of these.

3) The English language newspapers (Moscow Times, St
Petersburg times, the Russia Journal) sometimes have
vacancies for native English speakers to copy edit.

4)I would imagine that there are lots of opportunities
with Russian/European Union funded aid programmes
advising Russian institutions on all kinds of things
from farming development to banking reform. These
projects often require reports to be edited in native
English and so it's worth their while having a
US/British intern doing this at 50 USD per day instead
of a consultant at 600 USD a day.

TACIS (www.tacis.int ?)is the European donor
organisation.

USAID is the American one.

I'm not sure of their web addresses but they can't be
difficult to find.

With persistence there are some very interesting and
reasonably remunerated options.

changes in the perception and representation of the United States in
Russian literature, cinema, or philosophy. Papers must be given in Russian.
For more information, please contact Dr. Ilya Vinitsky, Symposium Convener,

for all expenses for transportation to and from Middlebury, as well as room
and board at Middlebury.  Low-cost accomodations will be available in the
college dormitory.

Dear colleagues:
    A colleague of mine has been invited to participate in a
Russian-French expedition in the Arctic. He would like to learn some
conversational Russian. Do any of you have any recommendations for
self-study aids on the net or CD-Rom? I have seen various things
advertised in the AATSEEL Newsletter and the Russian Life (Vermont)
catalog. Do any of you know anyone who has actually used these things?
My colleague doesn't know any Russian at all, but he has access to all
kinds of media and computers.
    Thanks a lot, Emily Tall

Dear list members

I am looking for "Chudov New Testament" which is said to be the earliest
consistently accented East Slavic manucript. Our library does not have one.
Does any one have a copy of this manuscript or know the location? In
addition, does anyone know any accentological study on this manuscript? The
manuscript is qutie often mentioned in the literature of Slavic accentology,
but I could not find a full/comprehensive study on the accentual system of
this specific manuscript. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Syeng-Mann Yoo

Dear Syeng-Mann,
the manuscript of the Chudov New Testament does not exist (it was stolen 
during the Russian Revolution). It was phototypically printed, however, 3 
times (by Archimandrite Amphilokhii somewhere in 1880s (an extremely rare 
edition), by Metropolitan Leontii in 1892, and most recently by Werner 
Lehfeldt (who reprinted Leontii's edition). See his Neues Testament des 
Cudov-Klosters Phototypische Ausg. von Leontij, Metropolit von Moskau 
(Moskau, 1892) ; mit einer Einleitung ; herausgegeben von Werner Lehfeldt 
(Köln : Böhlau, 1989 = Bausteine zur Geschichte der Literatur bei den 
Slaven ; Bd. 28). Lehfeldt's reprint (not very good, unfortunately) is, 
however, the most accessible one. Note that accentuation of the text 
although very frequent is not consistent. True, this is an earliest East 
Russian manuscript that has such an extensive accentuation. There are a lot 
of articles written on the Chudov New Testament's system of accentuation; 
some of the references you can find in Lehfeldt's Preface.

Dear colleagues,

In response to Syeng-Mann Yoo's question, and on the heels of Ol'ga Strakhov's
answer, It is worth adding that the text of the Chudov Novyi Zavet has just been
published in a new edition:
     Chudovskaia rukopis' Novogo Zaveta 1354 goda : trud Svt. Aleksiia
mitropolita Kievskogo, Moskovskogo i vseia Rusi chudotvortsa / podg. teksta T.L.
Aleksandrova ; posleslovie mitr. Volokolamskogo i Iur'evskogo Pitirima.   M. :
Severnyi Palomnik, 2001.   474 p. : ill. ; Oversized (30 cm.).

This edition, long in planning and in preparation, consists of a painstakingly
edited, re-set version of the entire text based on Amfilokhii's and Leontii's
editions, and does also include some 20 facsimile reproductions of individual
pages from the original manuscript as reproduced in Leontii's edition.  But--
and for linguists this will be significant-- it does NOT reproduce the
accentuation.  Nor does it give any variants vis a vis other redactions of the
New Testament, nor does it include a glossary of word forms.  The editors argue
in a substantial Posleslovie that the goals of this edition did not call for
such points.  For these editors the issue was the exact reproduction of the text
itself, to which end a great deal of care was devoted.

For anyone interested in such an edition, it is available from "Russian Studies
Publications," a book service which specializes in Medieval Slavic and Byzantine
studies, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Russian Reference works.  Contact address:
russbooks at mediaone.net.

Subject: Cyrillic keyboard layout for Windows XP
Message-ID: <FRI.18.JAN.2002.085439.0700.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

All,

I have been unable to get any solid information on what keyboard layouts are
available for Windows XP (both through Microsoft and from independent
vendors).  I have used Janko's Cyrillic Keyboard Generator in the past to
create kbd files for my own computer with great success.  In the XP
environment, however, this does not seem to work.  Additionally, these
keyboards will be used by students in a networked environment.  I would also
rather find a more comprehensive product (allowing for various other
non-Slavic languages all as part of a single package).  I know that
Microsoft has Multilingual Support, but, as I recall, beginning with Windows
97, they stopped offering more than one Russian keyboard layout option
(Standard Russian keyboard and a Yawerty type phonetic keyboard).  Does
anyone know if they have one or more phonetic keyboard options in their new
Multilingual package.  I was unable to determine this from their website and
felt more comfortable getting comments from those in the Slavic field.  Any
information would be much appreciated.

Please reply off list.  If there is interest, I can always submit the
answers I receive to the entire list.

Thanks,

Michael Brewer

Subject: Chudov New Testament
Message-ID: <FRI.18.JAN.2002.203221.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Syeng-Mann,
Chudovskij Spisok Novogo Zaveta is one of the three manuscripts used in my
dissertation, which I just defended in December.  For the study of
accentuation, I wouldn't recommend the German edition, since it is not
always legible due to its poor quality, not to mention the small size of
the letters in the original manuscript.  I acquired Leontij's edition of
1892 through Interlibrary Loan, which is in much better shape than the
German edition: it is in fact a reproduction of Leontij's edition.

There is one thing I'd like to mention: what I have found is that the
scribe knew Greek extremely well, and often tried to literalistically
translate the Greek NT, that is, lexical, morphological, and syntactic
construction in the Greek text, such as nominal case, word order, choice of
words in his translation, etc.  In such a literalistic translation
practice, he displays a strong preference for plural to dual, which the
Greek NT does not have.  Thus, the scribe appears to have attempted to
translate word-for-word, whenever possible.  So, even though I didn't
examine accentuation in the given manuscript, I suspect even accentuation
may have been interfered by orthographic conventions in the Greek NT,
especially the breathing marks.  Anyway, it seems worthwhile to closely
investigate accentuation in the manuscript.  Good luck!

I would appreciate any and all recommendations of appropriate readings in
English translation of Russian children's literature (skazki, byliny, Krylov
Chukovsky, Marshak. . . .) The recommendations are for American families who
do not know Russian, have adopted Russian children, and wish to do what they
can to encourage and, as far as possible, develop their children's knowledge
of and connection with their native culture. I would also appreciate any
advice you might give me that I may pass on to these parents. Surely there
must be something for them comparable to Lynn Visson's Wedded Strangers for
Russian-American marrieds. Thank you.

Dear Lauren (and list),

With regard to children's literature:

Eloise Boyle and Genevra Gerhart (eds.)'s brand new The Russian Context
(Slavica Press, 2001) a chapter by Valentina Zaitseva on just this sort of
thing: the kind of literature every Russian can be assumed to know from
childhood on up, including foreign authors.  I imagine this is only the first
of many e-mails to make reference to this book as the answer to all our ills in
the future, and highly recommend it to everyone.  It does for "high" culture
what The Russian's World did for "low", and comes with a CD (readings, music,
songs, paintings, photographs, sound bites, etc.) to boot.  Get yours while
they're still piping hot!  (This is not a paid endorsement, although I wish it
were--hint hint.)

Dear Charles (and list!)

Thank you ever so for your kind words. Indeed, we are very proud of our
production! Valentina Zaitseva, did an excellent job with Russian poetry and
prose that have become part of the language. But Bob Rothstein and Halina
Weiss wrote the equally delightful chapter on Children's Literature, all
with quotations of common children's poetry with their translations on the
same page along with icons that point to the same words on the CD as said in
Russian by a Russian.
And that is just a beginning.
We expect the book and its CD to be available within a matter of weeks from
Slavica. So, more, later.

Regards, and thanks,

Genevra Gerhart

Dear Charles,

thank you for your enthusiastic description of The Russian Context, of which I am
one of the 13 contributors. I am also an ardent admirer of the whole idea behind
this work and  am sure that the book will be useful for many purposes, from
academic (heritage speakers,  culture in language curriculum and so on) to
non-academic ones. There are chapters on history, art, geography, science,
government-- all describing links between culture, language  and society...

As for "Childlit" inquiry, I just would like to point out that apart from my
chapters on Russian poetry and prose in quotation,  there is a separate chapter on
children's literature by Robert Rothstein & Halina Weiss (ideal for the US
families with adopted Russian children), with references to foreign literature
that became a part of Russian children's reading list. Also:  Liudmila Pruner's
chapter "Popular entertainment" contains  sections on shows and cartoons for
children; Thomas Garza's chapter on music and dance has sections on songs for
children (from lullaby on); a chapter on Russian drama and theater by Eloise Boyle
includes quotations from Russian plays studied in schools as well as famous lines
from Shakespeare known to every Russian (mostly in Pasternak's translation)...
And, of course, there are Russian proverbs (see Olga Yokoyama's chapter on
proverbs, sayings and their use). Russian children get familiar with them not only
from the speech of adults, but also from  numerous editions of proverbs designed
for preschoolers.

Best regards,
Valentina

Dear Lauren (and list),

With regard to children's literature:

Eloise Boyle and Genevra Gerhart (eds.)'s brand new The Russian Context
(Slavica Press, 2001) a chapter by Valentina Zaitseva on just this sort of
thing: the kind of literature every Russian can be assumed to know from
childhood on up, including foreign authors.  I imagine this is only the
first
of many e-mails to make reference to this book as the answer to all our ills
in
the future, and highly recommend it to everyone.  It does for "high" culture
what The Russian's World did for "low", and comes with a CD (readings,
music,
songs, paintings, photographs, sound bites, etc.) to boot.  Get yours while
they're still piping hot!  (This is not a paid endorsement, although I wish
it
were--hint hint.)

Sincerely,

Charles Mills

Subject: Cyrillic keyboard layout for Windows XP
Message-ID: <TUE.22.JAN.2002.082948.0700.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Here are the relevant replies to my request for information on phonetic
keyboards and Windows XP.

If I have any keyboard/XP revelations when I am getting the computers here
at Arizona installed with Russian keyboards, I will post them to the list.

Michael Brewer

Hi.
I don't know how similar XP is to 2000; if it's an NT-based environment,
there might be overlap.  I found Paul Gorodecky's site helpful for
surmounting the obstacles that Microsoft builds into its operating system;
we were eventually to get a transliterated-style keyboard onto our network
here, although it puzzled even the computer specialists for awhile.
Here's the site:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/PaulGor/
I don't know if he's updated the info to include XP or not, but he had a
good solution for Win2000, and a link to a keyboard editor that could edit
those keyboard definitions.  He also responded to a question that I asked,
and in general was very generous with his assistance.
Good luck,
Don Loewen
Asst. Prof. of Russian

Dear Michael,



XP makes it hard to change keyboard files.  Their keyboard files are now
.dll files and they don't allow you to mess with system files very much.
However, if you go to Paul Gorodansky's page
(http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/PaulGor/kbd_eng.htm), you will
find a driver that is fairly easy to install.  His keyboard layout is not my
favorite, but it can be altered by following a link on his page.  The site
that has the software to help you do this is
http://www.klm.freeservers.com/.  I altered his layout and now my keyboard
works like the one I'm used to using.  Good luck.

Subject: Cyrillic keyboard layout for Windows XP


All,

I have been unable to get any solid information on what keyboard layouts are
available for Windows XP (both through Microsoft and from independent
vendors).  I have used Janko's Cyrillic Keyboard Generator in the past to
create kbd files for my own computer with great success.  In the XP
environment, however, this does not seem to work.  Additionally, these
keyboards will be used by students in a networked environment.  I would also
rather find a more comprehensive product (allowing for various other
non-Slavic languages all as part of a single package).  I know that
Microsoft has Multilingual Support, but, as I recall, beginning with Windows
97, they stopped offering more than one Russian keyboard layout option
(Standard Russian keyboard and a Yawerty type phonetic keyboard).  Does
anyone know if they have one or more phonetic keyboard options in their new
Multilingual package.  I was unable to determine this from their website and
felt more comfortable getting comments from those in the Slavic field.  Any
information would be much appreciated.

Please reply off list.  If there is interest, I can always submit the
answers I receive to the entire list.

Thanks,

Michael Brewer

Dear SeeLang-ers, 
my apologies for what may be a silly question: concerning the book Russian 
Context, amazing as it seems, and - from what I can tell, more than 
deservedly - "advertised" on these pages...
I have - for the moment, even if I do want my own copy as well to be sure - 
asked our library to seek out the book: but they have not been able to 
locate it on any of the usual databases. Could anyone tell me where can 
more detailed (perhaps, incl. ordering) data concerning the book be 
located? 
Thank you so, so very much 
Simon Krysl

Message-ID: <WED.23.JAN.2002.083547.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear colleagues,
This is just a short note to bring to your attention a new summer language
program in Croatia that is available to US and Canadian college students
this summer, from July 8 - August 17, 2002. This is a six-week course with
120 class-hours of instruction for beginners to advanced. 8 credit hours are
provided by the University of Kansas, which is coordinating the program and
sending a resident director. Instruction is provided by the Center for
Foreign Languages (Centar za strane jezika, Vodnikova 12) and the University
of Zagreb. The first two weeks of instruction will take place in the Centar
in Zagreb (July 8 - 19), the remainder at the Inter-University Centre in
Dubrovnik (July 19 - August 17). Excursions, museum visits, cultural
lectures and performances will be provided as well. Though the program is
new to KU, the Centar has been organizing a summer program for many years
and the Centar itself is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. More
details are available on the following website, which will be updated
frequently:
http://www.ku.edu/~slavic/zg-dbk.htm
Please pass the word to students who might benefit from this information.
Feel free to contact me with questions.
Thank you for your attention,

Dear List Members,

I am the person who maintains the conference listings on the AATSEEL
webpage.  I received the following email announcement from a
non-SEELANGS member for inclusion on the conference webpage.  I thought
I would also forward it to SEELANGS to make sure it comes to everyone's
attention.  Please respond to the email address(es) provided in the

Dear sir or madam,

The NorthEastern Association of Slavic Graduate Students is organizing
its Third Annual Conference to be hosted by Brown University on March
9th, 2002.  Although there is no particular theme of the conference, we
are mostly encourage to apply people who work on comparative,
cross-century or interdisciplinary subjects such as the connections
between literature, art, film or philosophy. The deadline for the
submittion of abstracts is February 10th and the abstracts should be
directed to Kerry_Sabbag at brown.edu.

Although we are a regional organization, we are welcome people from
other parts of the country. The participants will be provided stay with
Brown students, and one travel grant for a person outside the region
will be given on a merit base ( best abstract)


We will be very happy if you can post this ad, and I hope it is not too
late yet-I am writing rather close to the deadline, so sooner it can
apper, better it will be.

Please, contact me at Marina_Aptekman at brown.edu

Hello!

If among members of the list there are colleagues acquainted
with the history of translating Jorge Luis Borges
into Russian (and other Slavic languages), I would appreciate
being contacted off list. When were his works first translated into
Russian?  Are there monographs devoted to the theoretical
underpinnings of these translations?  What exactly was
translated?

Many thanks,

Subject: Mac Problem: Converting GLPS ABTOR III.2 files to a new
 Cyrillic font system
Message-ID: <WED.23.JAN.2002.163122.0500.>

    I've been attempting to make a transition from the GLPS ABTOP III
cyrillic fonts, which I was able to install on Mac operating systems up
through 8.1 but cannot install on 8.6.
    I'm working with a desktop G4 and a G3 Powerbook, on which I've
installed the fonts  produced by Dialect (NewtonC, etc).  This system
allows me to read e-mail and websites in Cyrillic, and to create new
documents in Cyrillic, but a decade's worth of files created in GLPS are
simply inaccessible at present.
    I've had no luck in getting any new fonts to read my old GLPS files,
though I had heard that the Dialect fonts could do it (Dialect itself
claims no such ability for its fonts).
    Has anyone encountered this problem and solved it?

Dear Seelangers,
I am working on a translation of Sofia Khvoshchinskaya's Gorodskie i
derevenskie.  In it there is a reference to a Moscow drama troop of
1854-1855.  The context is as follows:  Erast Sergeevich, contributor to the
"tolstye zhurnaly" of the day (1862) and a self-described "deyatel'", is
reflecting on his years as a writer.
"Ovcharov v nastoyashchuiu minutu prishel k ubezhdeniiu, chto, veroyatno, v
to stesnitel'noe vremya on i tochno khotel karat' svoim perom poryadok
veshchej i govoril o nem gor'kuiu pravdu pochti bessoznatel'no, ne dumaya,
govoril dazhe v svoikh teatral'nyx zametkakh o moskovskoj dramaticheskoj
truppe 1854-1855 godov...."

I would like to include an endnote on this reference, but so far haven't had
any luck finding any background information.  Any help would be appreciated.
Best wishes,
Nora Favorov

.......

Even if a comprehensive list exists, there will still be problems in
evaluating it. For instance, the gen. pl. of _igra_ 'game' is listed as
_igr_. I don't think this form is pronounced with [k] and a devoiced [r].
But when it is pronounced with a voiced [g] and voiced [r], the latter
comes out sounding like [@r], i.e., as though the form was spelled _igor_.
The gen. pl. of _kreslo_ 'chair' is spelled _kresel_ while the gen. (pl.)
of _chresla_ 'loins' is spelled _chresl_--but do speakers distinguish the
two?  M. V. Panov touches on these matters starting on p. 172 of his
difficult _Russkaja fonetika_ (M.: Prosveshchenie, 1967).

Daniel Rancour-Laferriere has asked me to forward this to SEELANGS. He thought
a "brief paragraph of protest" to his dean and chancellor would be helpful.
They are: Dean Elizabeth Langland, Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies,
UC Davis, elangland at ucdavis.edu; Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef, UC Davis,lnvanderhoef at ucdavis.edu

AN OPEN LETTER TO ELIZABETH LANGLAND (DEAN OF HUMANITIES, ARTS AND CULTURAL
STUDIES, UC DAVIS), AND TO THE WIDER ADMINISTRATIVE, ACADEMIC, STUDENT,
AND RUSSIAN CULTURAL COMMUNITIES.

RE:  The Termination of the UC Davis Russian Program

FROM: Daniel Rancour-Laferriere, Professor of Russian, Director of Russian
Winder McConnell, Professor of German, Chair of German and Russian
Clifford Bernd, Professor of German
Gail Finney, Professor of Comparative Literature and German
Karl Menges, Professor of German
Yuri Druzhnikov, Professor of Russian
Peter Schaeffer, Professor of German
Carlee Arnett, Assistant Professor of German
Ingeborg Henderson, Senior Lecturer in German
Frederick Choate, Lecturer in Russian
Avram Brown, Lecturer in Russian

DATE: 18 January 2002

One week ago the Director of the Russian Program was informed by Dean Elizabeth
Langland that the Program will be closed down.  Russian language courses
will be phased out beginning this fall, and it will no longer be possible
for students to choose to major in Russian.

This unilateral decision by the Dean comes as a complete surprise to members
of the German & Russian Department.  By all measures the Russian Program
has been thriving.  Enrollments in Russian courses have increased steadily.
 Student Credit Hours per full time faculty member increased 56% in 2000-01,
the largest increase in the Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies (HARCS)
division.  More and more students from the local Russian community are enrolling
in Russian courses, and are making Russian part of a ?double major? which
will better enable them to enter careers in business, law, politics, education,
and so on.   Approximately half of the enrollments in our current Russian
literature and culture courses consist of Russians from the local Russian
community, and many ?heritage speakers? of Russian are now taking our advanced
language courses as well.  When we say ?local Russian community,? we are
referring to a (growing) population of approximately 100,000 immigrants
living in the Sacramento area.  The sons and daughters of this largest single
Russian population in northern California -- and who constitute an important
component of Tidal Wave II -- are turning to our Russian Program in increasing
numbers.

Another reason for our surprise and dismay was the complete lack of consultation
with us about the decision to cancel the Russian Program.  What is the official
procedure for terminating a program or department?  Was the Academic Senate
consulted?  Why was the last Teaching Program Planning and Review Committee
(TPPRC) report -- which recommended expansion, not cutting of the Russian
Program -- ignored?  Were other programs which may be adversely affected
by this decision -- International Relations, Comparative Literature, Second
Language Acquisition Institute, the Education Abroad Program -- consulted?
 For example, what will become of the 16 International Relations majors
who have made Russian their foreign language of choice?

One reason given for the cancellation of Russian was ?budget cuts.?  In
fact the amount saved by firing our two part-time lecturers is negligible,
a total of approximately $50,000 per year.  Given the recent report that
the cuts to UCD will not be at all as drastic as suggested earlier, what
is the financial rationale for dropping an intellectually sound program
such as Russian? In fact, the notion of cutting Russian could not be more
ill-conceived and ill-timed, given that we are *just now* experiencing the
beginning of Tidal Wave II. What justification is there for prioritizing
the total elimination of a major language from the curriculum, particularly
from a fiscal perspective? Anyone can look around the university and see
that money is being spent on all manner of projects -- we do not begrudge
the ducks the recent well-financed facelift for their arboretum, but is
this project so many times more important than the rather bargain-level
funding that is needed to keep on a couple of language teachers to maintain
the study of one of the world?s major languages?

The Russian Program is exceptionally well positioned within the current
political and educational climate.  Among the changes resulting from the
terrorist attacks of 9/11 is a new attitude of cooperation between the United
States and Russia.  President Vladimir Putin has joined with President George
W. Bush in the fight against international terrorism.  Central Asia has
also suddenly become strategically important, while many of the countries
there -- Kazakhstan, Tadzhikistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaidjan  -- use Russian
as a lingua franca.  In addition, there is the commercial advantage of using
Russian in all of the former Soviet republics.  If one wants to do business
in countries as diverse as Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Georgia,
etc.,  Russian is the language of choice.  Also, given the brilliant Russian
contributions to science and technology, the advanced students of science
and engineering at Davis must be given the opportunity to study Russian.

Russian remains a crucial language for the strategically important Former
Soviet region, yet somehow UC-Davis will have decided that this is the time
to eliminate the study of Russian!  UC-Davis students, thus disadvantaged
in the competition for military, government, international business and
development careers, will be left to wish they had gone to Berkeley or UCLA
 which, frankly, will seem like more serious universities. Indeed, has any
other world-class university in the entire United States eliminated its
Russian program?

At a time when there is much touting of the ideas of ?globalization,? ?diversity,?
and ?multiculturalism,? closing down a Program that represents a language
spoken by a high percentage of the world's population lends a very hollow
ring to such concepts.  There is an issue of credibility involved in all
of this.

Russia is the largest country in the world (to fly from one end of the country
to the other you have to pass through eleven time zones).  Russia is a land
of diverse cultures, religions, and ethnic groups.  In the wake of the dismemberment
of the Soviet Union, Russia has become a relatively free country with a
growing economy, a reinvigorated cultural life, and an ongoing religious
renaissance.  Russia has produced famous writers like Pushkin, Tolstoy,
Dostoevsky, Chekhov, and Nabokov.  The composers Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky,
the painters Chagall and Kandinsky -- came from Russia.  Nobel peace prize
winner Andrei Sakharov was one of the world's great human rights advocates.
 In Russia today another Nobel prize winner, dissident writer Alexander
Solzhenitsyn, is able to express his views freely.

Banishing Russian from this campus sets a dangerous precedent.  Insofar
as Russian is one of the smaller programs on campus, its cancellation will
only serve to create an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust among other
programs about further possible covert decisions by the administration.
 Is this the first step in a larger plan to consolidate and eliminate smaller
programs within the Division?  If so, why has this decision (and others
that follow), not been discussed in a collegial and open way with all concerned
faculty prior to beginning the consolidation/dismantling process?  Is there
any mention of such contemplated actions in the HARCS Academic Plan submitted
to the Provost in 2000? If not, why is this the case?  Were there any discussions
of such potential actions that were not conveyed to the faculty? What is
the position of the current Provost to terminating the Russian Program?


Must the sole criterion for termination be the corporate financial rationale,
which, in this case appears ludicrous, given the relatively small amount
of money involved? Are not the monetary savings considerably offset by the
educational loss (to say nothing of general morale among the foreign language
community)?  Universities that wish to be "great" do not arrive there by
making cuts in the liberal arts.  On the contrary, those programs already
existing should be strengthened at every opportunity.  Given the current
priorities, it is highly unlikely that UCD will ever rise beyond the level
of a very good polytechnical school, with the rather sad paradox of having
numerous first-rate Humanities scholars in an institution that will have
next-to-no reputation for overall excellence in that area.  In essence,
the Humanities, like L & S in general, will hardly ever be more than what
they currently are, namely, a "service" division for the rest of the campus.


Cutting the Russian program is apparently predicated upon the belief that
there is no future for the language (and perhaps the culture) of Russia
and its people.  That is a most cynical and short-term approach that reflects
the pathetic monolingual, and, despite all the panegyrics to multiculturalism,
monocultural stance of much of this country.  The concept of universitas
is one that could, and should, rightly be challenged with respect to any
institution embracing such an attitude.

The termination of Russian makes no sense when the program is being run
effectively by two productive and internationally recognized scholars and
two highly dedicated lecturers. The loss is immeasurably greater than any
conceivable gain. What in fact, are the "gains" that would stem from such
a move? In the final analysis, "cui bono"?  That is: who is served by all
of this?

I am trying to find the source of an article that apparently I got on
interlibrary loan over 20 years ago.  Unfortunately the journal title page was
not included by the copyists at the lending institution, although some years
ago I wrote on the top:  Slavia Orientalis?
The articles copied are:  Adomavichiute, "K probleme vzaimootnoshenija
litovskix belorusizmov i polonismov,"; Balalykina, "Sinonimija ad"jektivnyx
obrazovanij s suffiksal'nymi -t-, -st- v slavjanskix...; Gorshkova, "O foneme v
jazyke i rechi"...    The latest date of a citation is 1977, which establishes
a post quem date.
Since clearly very few SEELANGers would be interested, please respond off line.

Colleagues,

I am very happy to announce that Northeastern University Press has just published a reissued edition of my biography of Sergei Prokofiev ("Sergei Prokofiev: A Biography"), which has been out of print for some time, with a new foreword and afterword, in paperback.

This is just in time for the new production of Prokofiev's "War and Peace" at the Metropolitan Opera which opens Feb.14, and will be broadcast on the radio Sat. March 2, and for the 50th anniversary of Prokofiev's death in 2003 (on March 5, 2003--he died the same day as Stalin).

Please tell your colleagues and friends.  Many thanks.

Hello,
Dr Gladney writes
>evaluating it. For instance, the gen. pl. of _igra_ 'game' is listed as
>_igr_. I don't think this form is pronounced with [k] and a devoiced [r].
>But when it is pronounced with a voiced [g] and voiced [r], the latter
>comes out sounding like [@r], i.e., as though the form was spelled _igor_.

The conception as if "igr" was either prounounced "igr" or "ig at r"
seems to me preposterous: the truth is the word pronounced this way or
that is SPELT "igr". One should not confuse spelling with pronunciation.
They are different matters.

  The word "igra" is classified as "1d" (one dee) in Zaliznjak. If you
have access to digitized version of Zaliznjak or similar ones (there
are freely accessible versions on the internet) you can easily extract
words in that category.

Cheers,
Tsuji

English native speakers often believe the whole world must master
English as perfectly as they do themselves. I am sure Dr Yoshimasa
didn't intend to offense, and his world "preposterous" may be some
translation from Japanese that doesn't bear the same meaning. Please,
remember this is an international list, and everybody does his best
in English (often his third language).

Message-ID: <SUN.27.JAN.2002.162056.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Dear Seelangers:

Can anyone recommend a grammar reference book for heritage speakers,
either one specifically designed for them, or one that might provide
particularly clear overviews of the "basics":a description of the
case system, 'imperfective' vs. 'perfective' verbs, etc.? I'm
teaching a third-year Russian course that introduces students to
literary texts, and I have two students who can speak and read but
have had little (or no) formal introduction to the study of Russian
language, and thus cannot identify, say, the instrumental case, even
if it were to sneak up and bite them on the nose.

Thanks in advance,

Nicole

Dear Nicole,

You have several options, based on their preparedness.  If they don't
know grammar period, giving them a full Russian reference grammar
might overwhelm them (much like it often does non-heritage learners).
If they don't know the grammatical terms, they probably won't be able
to look things up.

A low-impact introduction to relevant grammar can be provided by
"English Grammar for Students of Russian".  The title is misleading;
it might be more aptly titled "Grammar for Students of Russian with
Examples from English and Russian".

        English Grammar for Students of Russian
        Edwina Jannie Cruise, 1994
        Paperback $12.95
        184 pages

If you like the benefits of a "full-service" grammar, you might try

        A Comprehensive Russian Grammar
        Terence R. Wade and Michael Holman, 2000
        Paperback, $36.95
        596 pages

        Nicholas Maltzoff, 1984
        Paperback, $17.95
        332 pages

All three books mentioned above are available (either in stock or by
order in about a week) from major bookstores like Borders or Barnes

Dear Seelangers,

I hasten to add that the three titles listed by Jeff are available from
small-scale, privately owned, local bookstores as well.  If you appreciate
more than the "fast food" paradigm of business (e.g., Borders and Barnes &
Noble), you might think of patronizing the latter (a small, privately owned
dealer) with your business instead.  I apologize in advance for the
political flavor of this post.

Sincerely,
Charles

If anyone is interested in the Russian-published sources, I have just got a
brand new  O. I. Glazunova.'s Grammatika russkogo iazyka v uprazhneniiakh i
kommentariiakh, St. Peresburg: Zlatoust, 2000. It claims to be for the
intermediate and advanced level but--as far as I can see and as it is often
the case with such Russian editions--it looks more advanced than intermediate
to me. Lots of exercises + keys to them , commentary, and grammar tables.
Nice exercises for the verbs of motion.

From lgoering at CARLETON.EDU  Mon Jan 28 15:45:21 2002

Subject: AATSEEl standard
Message-ID: <MON.28.JAN.2002.094521.0600.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

Seelangers,
     I am wondering if those who set up campus computers with homophonic
keyboards for student use are using AATSEEL Standard or another layout.  I
don't care for the layout myself, but if this layout really is at all
"standard" in the homophonic world, I will continue to use it for students.

From mausdc at POTSDAM.EDU  Mon Jan 28 15:40:29 2002
From: mausdc at POTSDAM.EDU (Derek Maus)
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2002 10:40:29 -0500
Subject: Call for submissions on Aleshkovsky
Message-ID: <MON.28.JAN.2002.104029.0500.SEELANGS@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU>

I am seeking original essay submissions for a web-based casebook on Yuz
Aleshkovsky's vastly underappreciated novel KANGAROO (orig. pub as KENGURU,
Ann Arbor, MI: Ardis, 1981; trans. pub., Normal, IL: Dalkey Archive Press,
1999; New York: Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 1986) to be published in fall 2002
on the Center for Book Culture's website
(http://www.centerforbookculture.org) as part of its Studies in Modern and
Contemporary Fiction series (ed. by Robert Mclaughlin).

The casebooks in this series are intended to serve as a resource for
readers--teachers and students, especially--who desire some guidance in
engaging these novels. Each casebook contains and introduction by the
casebook editor which offers an overview of the novel, its place in the
author's oeuvre, and its critical reception. The other four essays offer
different approaches to the novel and different interpretive strategies
with which to understand it. There is also a bibliography of the most
important critical work on the novel. The purpose of this series is to open
up avenues for exploring each novel and to open up a dialogue of ideas
among our contributors and each new reader.

Submissions will be peer-reviewed and the entire volume, once completed,
will be refereed by the editors at Dalkey Archive Press prior to
publication on the Center for Book Culture website.

All interpretive approaches to the novel are welcome and some departure
from the traditional academic essay form is encouraged -- although not
required -- by the online format. Please refer to
http://www.centerforbookculture.org/casebooks/casebook_tunnel/Introduction_302.htm
for an example of a previous casebook in this series. Any quotations and
citations would need to be translated into English, but Slavist approaches
are warmly welcomed.

Abstracts and/or informal prospectuses of potential submissions are welcome
and encouraged in advance, but completed articles (20-25 double-spaced
pages in length) must be received by May 31, 2002 for consideration.

Mail or e-mail (as attachments, please) submissions, abstracts, or queries to:

Dear Ben,

I would like to disagree.

"Uncanny ability" springs to mind  - neob'jasnimoe, neverojatnoe, strannoe.

It's uncanny how he reads my thoughts. - Umu nepostizhimo, kak ... / Prosto
neverojatno, kak ...

My Oxford German-English dictionary has "heimlich" as the equivalent of
"tajinstvennyj", and not Freud's "unheimlich," the  original object of the
inquiry.  "Strashnyi" seems closer to the mark, but Ms. Israeli's
suggestions seem most appropriate.

What about the comic book the "Uncanny X-Men."  If I remember my copies
correctly, it was the Uncanny X-Men, and not simply the X-Men.  The uncanny
part did not make it into the title of the movie, which I assume has made
its way to Russian.  However, has the uncanny part made it into any Russian
translations of the title of the comic book, or the text of the comic book
itself?

The Russian edition of Laplanche and Pontalis's dictionary renders the title of Freud's article as
"Chuzhdoe" (Zh. Laplansh, Zh.-B. Pontalis, _Slovar' po psikhoanalizu_, trans. N. S. Avtonomova (M:

Message-ID: <WED.30.JAN.2002.115817.0600.>

How you translate the word depends on the context, use, etc. Just translating
"uncanny" is one thing, finding an equivalent for the Freudian usage of the
German term is another. I believe the closest to the Freud's German
"unheimlich" is Russian "potustoronnii," (may also sometimes be
"zapredel'nyi"). The word conveys the essence, and may be awkward to use;
"chuzhdyi" is the next closest alternative.

This is not a literature question, but I hope someone will be able to advise
me:

I am looking for evidence of sixteenth, seventeenth or eighteenth century
Polish "Kunstkammern" or cabinets of curiosities, comprised of art works,
decorative objects and/or natural specimens. Has anyone encountered
descriptions of such a collection or even a mere mention? Which magnates
might have assembled such a collection and where might surviving purchase
records/catalogues be archived in Poland?

Thank you!
