The Institute of Rusyn Language and Culture invites you to the International Summer School of Rusyn Language and Culture, Studium Carpatho-Ruthenorum, which will take place at the University of Prešov in Prešov from June 8 to June 28, 2025. Link below.

Example:
Vydyt’ s’a mi (Prešov region)
Vydyt’ mi s’a (Subcarpathian region)

In Prešov Rusyn the reflexive s’a will go after the verbal clitics but before the dative/accusative/genitive pronominal Clitics. While in Subcarpathian Rusyn, the reflexive Clitic goes at the end within the second position Clitic ordering scheme.

Enclitics across Slavic languages are beautiful. Within Rusyn varieties you can find variation in the second position clitics. This is visible in the placement of the reflexive Clitic.

That moment when you are so ready for winter break cuase it will give you time to work on the three articles you have been working on unsuccessfully over the semester…

Yeah, we will see. It has yet to become reality, but given this state and government… lol (have been applying to other institutions)

Native American, other languages in jeopardy at OU Faculty at the University of Oklahoma are reacting to what they say is a push from the administration to remove the foreign language requirements from the university’s degree tracks.

“…many faculty said the decision has been made at a high level, and that instructions have been provided to advisors not to enroll students in language classes for the coming semester. If the students don’t show up, the classes — which students were advisors not to take — will be canceled.”

When you love acoustics and you teach Russian phonetics next semester you record your colleague and make a vowel chart lol

Respondents’ maps were analyzed and compared using QGIS software. There is a tug-of-war of correctness between Kyiv and Lviv. It also shows that there is an overall tendency of native speakers to evaluate the Transcarpathian region as the area that grates one’s ears.

The present study offers an examination of attitudes and perceptions of the Ukrainian language. The respondents were asked to draw on a map of Ukraine where the most correct Ukrainian is spoken and where the Ukrainian that grates on one’s ears is spoken.

Woot! My article “Social Perceptions of Variation in Russian: The attitudinal evaluation of [g] and [ɣ] in Voronezh” is finally out in Russian Linguistics.
