Roman N. Krivko: Western Slavic perspectives on the earliest history of Church Slavonic

Ústav českého jazyka a teorie komunikace FF UK zve na přednášku v rámci přednáškového cyklu Kruhu přátel českého jazyka.

ANOTACE: The lecture highlights the cultural and linguistic interplay between South and West Slavic elements in the Old Church Slavonic, as well as the liturgical and canonical traditions of the Western and Eastern rites. It examines loanwords of Old High German, Romance, and Latin origin in Old Church Slavonic, with a particular focus on their presence in the earliest versions of the Slavic translation of the Gospels. The discussion also addresses Latin influence on biblical translations from Greek, along with potential Latin (and possibly Germanic) traces in the Glagolitic script. Furthermore, the lecture provides an overview of the earliest Central European liturgical monuments from both Western and Eastern rites. Using the Old Polish hymn Bogurodzica as a case study, it investigates the eastern boundaries of Church Slavonic literacy during its formative period.
