Course Catalog Description
Introduction to Old Church Slavic, with special attention to inflexional morphology. Assigned translations and sight reading of selected texts.
Class Description
This course is an introduction to Old Church Slavic (OCS), the oldest documented Slavic language. The goal of the class is to learn to read OCS texts with the aid of dictionaries and grammars. The students will be introduced to the OCS grammar, concentrating on inflectional morphology. We will also discuss what the “canon” of the OCS texts is and its relationship to Church Slavonic texts produced throughout the Orthodox Slavic world into the eighteenth century.
Text: Whitfield, Francis J. 2004. Old Church Slavic Reader. Berkeley.
The text and supplementary materials will be provided by the instructor.
Course requirements: Reading, attendance, active class participation, occasional quizzes, an in-class midterm exam, and a final. During each class session we will read and parse (identify the forms and the syntax of) selected words and phrases from the readings assigned for that day. At the midterm and the final, you will be presented with texts from the Whitfield reader we have covered and asked to parse a certain number of forms.
