Learning outcomes

The course will give a diachronic description of Russian language, focusing on some substantial moments in its historical evolution and paying specific attention to both the socio-cultural approach and the sectorial languages.
This course is the second part of the Разновидности русского языка 1 (Varieties of Russian Language 1). It provides those linguistic materials that give the students the necessary awareness concerning the historical and cultural aspects of the Russian language. This approach does not overlooked how the language is put in practice in a working environment.

At the end of the course, the student must be able to:

1) know the fundamental traits of the diachronic development of the Russian language;
2) use the specific historical-linguistic knowledge acquired during the course;
3) analyse and interpret literary and non-literary texts from different epochs

Program

The basic topics are:
