I'm wondering if this is a local phenomenon or something that is generalizable to the field (perhaps a consequence of increased attention to foreign languages after the events of last fall). Can any SEELANGers at North American institutions with enrollment going on now for fall '02 can report a similar phenomenon? Please let me know if students at your institution, registering for fall courses, are signing up for Russian in bigger numbers than they did in the last few years.

The Pushkin Collection, which was begun by Prof. Emeritus J. Thomas Shaw, contains over 8000 works of secondary literature on Alexander Pushkin as well as numerous translations and rare editions of the poet's work. More information about the Pushkin Center is on our website, which can also be accessed from the above site: http://polyglot.lss.wisc.edu/slavic/resources/pushcent.htm. One of the advantages of this database is that if offers scholars unusually in-depth keyword searches. The holdings of the library are continually expanding and new items are constantly being catalogued. Unfortunately, newly catalogued data takes about a month to be uploaded. If certain items are not found on this site visitors can contact the curators to inquire about items that may have only recently been catalogued. Of course, we are also interested in any corrections or suggestions that you may have concerning our web-based search or the Pushkin Center home page.

The school is spectacular in every way -- absolutely first rate teachers, programs, and innovations at every level. Although it's relatively new, it's widely considered one of the most prestigious and dynamic schools in Chicago. Their experiment has the potential to be an outstanding contribution to these students' education and to our field: The students will be exposed to another, very different and challenging culture, and will graduate with a distinctive pedigree. Every student at the school is required to take at least two years of the language, so figure that Noble Street will be channeling about 100+ students into our second-year programs every year (slava bogu!). What's more, Noble Street receives an inordinate amount of national attention (it's a charter school in Chicago, so anyone who knows about public education there knows the level of interest these schools command). No doubt their decision to teach ONLY Russian & require it of their students will get the attention of educators and the broader public -- and any positive media exposure for us is a boon. I think, as a profession, we need to support this program and encourage others like it. Talk it up with your colleagues, and anyone with connections to secondary school should point to it as a model. Let's democratize the study of Russian! I encourage advisors out there with ABDs or recent graduates to suggest this job to their advisees -- it's a really engaging opportunity for someone with talent, intelligence, and energy. The pay is excellent (significantly better than just about any entry level universtiy job), and the school is located just west of the loop in Chicago -- a very happening, "in" area.

It might be interesting for ACTR or AATSEEL to interview the relevant officials to see why they picked Russian from all the other presumable contenders out there. Good question: those of us spending lifetimes trying to learn find it easy to wonder why Russian might be a good choice for an inner-city school. But let us consider: The language has the advantage of exotic appeal, yet its Indo-european origins makes a transfer of abilities from Russian to English a useful tool. The exotic appeal part has to do with its history and geography that place it outside the realm of the languages we usually study. Powerful single-leader governments have produced a people with other views about desirable civic behavior; its physical size coupled with a well-educated populace has produced potential real wealth that is even greater than that of the country that managed to put a man into space before we did. Orthodoxy has similarities and differences that can be discussed partly because their numbers in this country is relatively small; on the edges of western society, its isolation allowed the development of some other ways of coping. Another aspect of the exotic appeal is the very broad and rich culture of scientists, writers, composers and dancers (not to mention computer hackers!) that can enhance any curriculum the world over. Including our own. We shouldn't have to wait for a chemistry class to see the table of elements, for example. Russian participation in world culture has been such that the good language teacher should have active contacts with other teachers throughout the school. And finally, the language can help us learn our own. How many times have you heard "...between him and I"? This parallel can be supplied by many other Indo-european languages, of course. (Pray the LA teacher knows about objects of prepositions.) But Russian has its marvelous alphabet! It can be used for sending private messages. Private from the teachers, of course. Private from those studying the usual languages. It should be taught early on, perhaps its own set of lessons in middle school; before fear of the rest has time to settle in. And be very careful about two years of high school language being equivalent to one year of college. It should be, but often isn't. Unless someone has very solid evidence, and you have seen it.

Message-ID: Dear Prof. Monnier, Here's at least a partial answer to your query. Dr. Yanovsky, Dostoevsky's physician and friend in the 1840s, notes in his recollections that Dostoevsky explained his decision to retire from military engineering as the result of an error he made in drawing the plan for a fortress. When the drawing was presented to Nicholas I for final approval the emperor noted that Dostoevsky had not included any access gates in his plan. Nicholas I wrote on the drawing, Какой дурак это чертил. No one has ever located this drawing, though. You should find this little anecdote in Yanovsky's memoir as published in the more recent two-volume edition of "D. v vospominaniiakh sovremennikov." I don't have the edition at hand to check on the page number. It's also mentioned in "Letopis' zhizni i tvorchestva F.M.D., vol. 1, p. 89.

I think it comes from the onomatopoeic "babakh"--the sound of a canonball. There is a verb "babakhnut'"--"babakhnulo iz pushki," or to hit hard: "On menia tak babakhnul." The prefix "pri" is very strange here and if this is a contemporary poet I have the feeling s/he--either consciously or unconsciously--confuses the word with "pribambasy" which has become quite faddish. Good luck! Christina Sperrle. >> A colleague of mine is trying to find a translation for the word "pribabakhi," in a Russian poem he is translating. Can anyone help?

Naylor Young Scholar's Prize in South Slavic and Balkan Linguistics In memory of Kenneth E. Naylor, Balkanist and South Slavic linguist par excellence, the Naylor Professorship in South Slavic Linguistics in the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures at The Ohio State University established in 1999 a prize of $500 for the best unpublished paper by a young scholar on a topic in Balkan or South Slavic linguistics. The third such competition is now officially open. We thus solicit papers written in English by young scholars - defined for this competition as an advanced graduate student (who is beyond his/her first year of study) or someone who is no more than three years beyond the awarding of the Ph.D. degree at the time of submission -- that treats some topic either in Balkan linguistics, taking a comparative approach and treating at least two languages of Southeastern Europe, or in any of the South Slavic languages on their own or in relation to the other languages of the Balkans. In order to be eligible, the submitted paper must be unpublished, and not under consideration for publication at the time of submission; however, papers that have appeared in an issue of a "Working Papers" series are still eligible for consideration in the competition. Those that have appeared in conference proceedings volumes of any sort are not eligible, unless they are substantially revised and/or expanded. Written versions of papers that have been presented at a conference are eligible, as are papers based on chapters of dissertations or M.A. theses (but not raw dissertation chapters or M.A. theses themselves). In all cases, however, the Committee will look for self-contained scholarly articles of publishable quality that treat some relevant topic (as spelled out above) in an interesting and insightful way, following any appropriate approach (historical, synchronic, sociolinguistic, etc.) and any theoretical framework. Interested scholars should submit four copies of the paper along with an abstract (no longer than 250 words) and a cover sheet with the title of the paper, the author's name, affiliation, mailing address, e-mail address, phone and fax numbers, date of entrance into an appropriate graduate program or of awarding of Ph.D. (as the case may be), and US social security number, if the author has one (having one, though, is not a requirement), to: Naylor Prize Competition Dept. of Slavic & East European Languages & Literatures 232 Cunz Hall The Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio USA 43210-1215. The deadline for receipt of the papers in the Department for this, the third, competition is SEPTEMBER 30, 2002. The Screening Committee, consisting of the Naylor Professor and former speakers in the annual Kenneth E. Naylor Memorial Lecture series, expects to make the announcement of the winner by January 30, 2003. The winning paper will be published (after any necessary revisions) in an issue of the journal Balkanistica. The Committee reserves the right not to award the Prize in a given year. Please address any inquiries to the Naylor Professor, Brian D. Joseph, at the above address or via e-mail at joseph.1 at osu.edu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use your web browser to search the archives, control your subscription options, and more.

Naylor Young Scholar's Prize in South Slavic and Balkan Linguistics: First Place Prize of $500 awarded to: Daniela Trenkic (Ph.D. candidate, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh): "Definiteness as a Grammatical Category and as a Category of Meaning in Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian" Abstract: In this examination of the nature of nominal definiteness in Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian, two aspects of definiteness are distinguished and defined: definiteness as a grammatical category and definiteness as a category of meaning. The latter is taken as a universal category relating to the identifiability of nominal referents in communication (cf. Hawkins 1991), whereas the former is language-specific, relating to semantic/pragmatic definiteness as the grammaticalisation of the category of meaning (cf. Lyons 1999). Traditional views that relate word-order, adjectival 'definite aspect', and demonstratives to grammatical definiteness are considered here and found lacking. Rather, it is proposed that definiteness is not grammaticalised in Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian, and that the definiteness of nominal referents is inferred through general principles of goal-oriented behaviour. Runner-up Prize of $50 awarded to: Olga Arnaudova (Ph.D. candidate, University of Ottawa): "Why do clitics (sometimes) co-occur with DPs: The Case of Bulgarian" Abstract: In this study of the cooccurrence of clitic pronouns in Bulgarian with full nominal phrases, it is argued that the presence of the resumptive clitic has a grammatical function, namely to 'externalize' an argument with implications for the focus structure of the sentence. It is claimed that clitics in Bulgarian are argument- variables, base-generated within the Verb Phrase in argument positions which later move to head position of Tense to license discourse operators related to inferentiality. Those discourse operators can optionally host a Determiner Phrase in their Specifier position and realize a higher predication. From this perspective, the motivation behind the formation of the clitic cluster becomes clear: in syntax, clitics move to license discourse-related operators. This analysis explains why clitics are never found in the domain of focus, as well as the thematic 'redundancy' in Clitic Left-Dislocation constructions. It is also shown that in constructions such as (focus) topicalization, there is no clitic since the moved constituent leaves a gap and, independently the needs of the predication do not require an argument-variable. These two young South Slavic scholars join Dr. Grant Lundberg of the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages of Brigham Young University and Dr. Svetlana Godjevac, of the University of California, San Diego, the First Prize and Runner-up respectively in the 2000 Naylor Prize competition.

Message-ID: Dear SEELANGSers, As part of my research on the Serb and Croatian national movements in the nineteenth century, I am currently looking into the cultural institutions known as 'maticas'. More specifically, I am trying to establish to what extent the nineteenth-century maticas can be considered as essentially 'Habsburg-Slav' institutions (albeit in some cases, most notably the Serb and Galician ones, of obvious trans-border and potentially irredentist importance). So far, I have come across two non-Habsburg maticas: the Sorbian and the Kashubian ones. The only reference to the Kashubian matica I have found is a brief mention in Norman Davies' 'Europe', so I would be very interested to hear if anyone has further reading suggestions on this topic. Many thanks in advance for your reply!

As most of you are aware, subscribers to this list are encouraged to send personal messages off-list. In other words, if a message is really intended only for one person, then it should be sent directly to that person and not to the entire list. Often, while reading a message posted to SEELANGS, someone will simply click on "Reply" to reply to the message, intending to respond only to the sender, and not realizing that the reply (by default) is headed back to the entire list. As I've mentioned here before, the default "Reply-To:" tag in all messages posted to SEELANGS contains the list address. That just means that if all you do is reply to the message, without doing anything else, your reply will be sent back to the list address and distributed to all the subscribers. The list is configured that way because it is a discussion list. We want to encourage discussion and we want everyone to benefit from the knowledge being shared. Well, every so often someone makes a mistake and sends a personal reply back to the list address. Such errors are then often compounded by the posting of a follow-up apology. Although there is a notice about the problem in the Welcome message, and although I've posted to the list about it, too, it still happens. It's not the end of the world, but I began to think about other ways in which to solve the problem. To solve a problem like this, the place to start is understanding why such mistakes happen. I believe the crux of the problem here is that most people these days use an e-mail program that, when displaying a newly-arrived message, shows the message's "Subject:" line and also shows who sent it. With a discussion list like SEELANGS, there are actually two senders -- the "From:" line contains the address of the individual who posted the message and the "Sender:" line contains the list address. The e-mail program, though, has room for only one of those senders, and chooses to display the individual's name and/or address rather than the list address. Consequently, when looking at newly-arrived messages listed in his or her e-mail program, the average list member may not have any way of knowing at first that a given message was sent via SEELANGS or not. In my opinion, there are two reasonable ways in which to attack this problem. I have control only over the first, but I'll explain the second below as well. Here's the first: To alert everyone to the fact that a newly- arrived message was distributed via SEELANGS, without the need to open it and read it, I'm going to instruct LISTSERV to insert the list name, SEELANGS, enclosed in brackets, at the very beginning of each "Subject:" line. That's all. For the LISTSERV-savvy among you, what I'm really doing is changing all subscribers' subscription options to SUBJECTHDR and making that a default for all new subscribers. Please note: - You DO NOT HAVE TO ADD THE LIST NAME to "Subject:" lines when you post. LISTSERV will take care of it automatically. Also note that all this solution really does is alert you to a message's origin. If you want your reply to go only to the person who posted the message and not back to the entire list, you STILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT THE CORRECT ADDRESSEE selected before clicking on "Send." I said I'd mention a second way in which to attack this problem. Here it is. Most of you, whether you know it or not, use an e-mail program that allows you to filter incoming messages according to filtering criteria that you designate. You can then instruct the program to receive new messages directly into a separate folder. So, you could create a folder in your e-mail program called SEELANGS, and, because every message posted to the list arrives with a "To:" address of SEELANGS at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU, you could set up a filter to take every new message whose "To:" address is SEELANGS at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU and put it directly into your SEELANGS folder. That way, you'd never get confused about what was a list message and what was a personal message. Unfortunately, because there are so many e-mail programs in use out there, I can't tell you how to set this up, but you could probably figure it out for yourself by consulting your e-mail program's Help file or documentation or by asking a tech support person at your institution or Internet Service Provider. Finally, I'd like to acknowledge list member Loren Billings, whose gentle nudging pushed me to come up with this solution. Time will tell how effective it is. Oh, and if you make the same mistake in the future and post a personal reply to the whole list, don't worry too much about it, and please do NOT post a follow-up apology. Such messages just take up room unnecessarily on our archive disk. Instead, you can write to us list owners at SEELANGS-Request at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU to let us know that you know what you did, so we don't have to take the time to advise you. Any questions, please let me know off-list. Thanks. - Alex, list owner of SEELANGS seelangs-request at listserv.cuny.edu ....................................................................

I have two requests: 1. There is a little bit of Georgian transliterated into Cyrillic in the text. Not knowing the conventions of Russian to Georgian or Georgian to English transliteration, I'm not sure I have this right (in fact, I'm stabbing in the dark). Please let me know: Эрти, ори, сами... Сад арис меоткхе? Сад арис? Erti, ori, sami…Sahd arees meotkhe Sahd arees? One, two, three... Where is the fourth? 2. Is it true that the name for Hereti (eastern Georgia)--where Shushanik (5th C) resisted pressure from her husband and his Persian overlords to renounce Christianity--is etymologicallly tied to the word "heretic"? Here's what Webster's Unabridged says: Etymology: Middle English eretik, heretik, from Middle French eretique, heretique, adjective & noun, from Late Latin haereticus, from Late Greek hairetikos, from Greek, able to choose, from hairetos (verbal of hairein to take, haireisthai to choose) + -ikos -ic I have done the usual internet searches and found some discussion of this possibility, but am interested in a scholarly opinion.

We would appreciate your time and input, in order to get as complete a picture as possible about the state of teaching materials for the Slavic languages. You can access the Survey at our web site http://lmp.ucla.edu. The aim of the LMP Survey, which is funded by a grant from the US Department of Education, is to update and expand the national picture of resources used in foreign language teaching, by providing an account of materials currently used in LCTL teaching nationwide and to gather opinions about the national need for LCTL teaching materials. The Survey was developed in collaboration with the Center for Applied Linguistics, who conducted the first large-scale comprehensive survey of language teaching materials, which was conducted in 1993. The Survey results will be reported directly to the Department of Education and will also be published on the LMP web site, so they may benefit those on all levels of LCTL instruction in both the public and private sectors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use your web browser to search the archives, control your subscription options, and more.

A colleague and I will be presenting native speakers with some made-up words of Russian. We want to see where they place stress for each word, and whether this is affected by various morphological and syntactic factors. We decided it would be a good idea to norm our words for perceived Russian-ness beforehand. Would there be 4 or 5 native speakers of Russian on this list willing to donate 15 minutes or so to help us with this? It can be done be email as long as you have access to a Cyrillic-capable Windows computer and can receive email attachments. If you are willing to participate, please send me an email off-list to crosswhi at ling.rochester.edu. Thanks in advance!
