The Slavic Languages (Google eBook)

Roland Sussex, Paul Cubberley

Cambridge University Press, Sep 21, 2006 - Foreign Language Study - 638 pages

The Slavic group of languages--which includes Bosnian, Russian, Polish and Slovak--is the fourth largest Indo-European sub-group, and with 297 million speakers it is one of the major language families of the modern world. This book presents a survey of all aspects of the linguistic structure of the Slavic languages, considering in particular those languages that enjoy official status. As well as covering the central issues of phonology, morphology, syntax, word-formation, lexicology and typology, the authors discuss Slavic dialects, sociolinguistic issues, and the socio-historical evolution of the Slavic languages.
