Course objectives
The aim of the lecture is to deal with all stages of this reconstructed Slavonic proto-language – from the formative processes after the end of the IndoEuropean proto-language up to the period of Proto-Slavonic dialectal splitting up and the origin of the individual Slavonic languages. Explanations concerning the Proto-Slavonic language will be put into the frame of the wide IndoEuropean context. Changes taking place during the Proto-Slavonic period (phonological, morphological, lexical, semantic etc. changes) will be contrasted with analogical changes in the oldest stages of the individual IndoEuropean languages. The lecture will also contain a number of illustrative etymological explanations.
