Book Description
Ukrainians in Romania were almost completely isolated from their language
group to which they belonged. Ukrainian was not frequently studied in
schools and the language was not actively used in the cultural-educational
domain. As a result of these circumstances, the Ukrainian dialectal speech,
which presents a valuable resource for linguistic studies and for the
history of the people, gradually dwindled and continues to lose ground.
Therefore, the publication of these Ukrainian dialectal texts from Romania
becomes an obvious necessity.
This exhaustive scholarly linguistic reference examines dialectal texts of
Ukrainian dialects in Romania. The first part of the book examines the
problems of the phonetic and phonological structure of dialects;
morphological aspects of the noun, the adjective, the verb, and other parts
of speech; and investigates the syntax and lexicon.
The second part of the book encompasses materials from 32 Ukrainian
villages, including taped conversations of dialectal speech made between
1962-1965. The texts offer interesting data for dialectology as well as for
sociolinguistic, ethnographic, and folklore studies.
The Introduction and Summary appear in English, Ukrainian, and Romanian.
This work also includes a phonetic transcription, dictionary of dialectal
texts, and a select bibliography.
Copublished with the Shevchenko Scientific Society in USA, and the Ivan
Krypiakevsych Institute of Ukrainian Studies of the National Academy of
Sciences of Ukraine.
