Abstract
The last quarter of the18th c. and the first part of the 19th century are fundamental for the development of the ‘new’ Ukrainian literary language. A correct interpretation of the historic-linguistic facts that led to the emergence of modern Ukrainian, e.g. the interaction of the dialectal substratum with the Ukrainian literary language(s), is also essential to appraise contemporary language variation and phenomena like Suržyk. This article draws attention to the relationship existing between the formation of the ‘new’ Ukrainian literary language on its vernacular base and the role south-eastern dialects played in this crucial period. Specific dialectal features, typical of the Ukrainian literary works of the late 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries, are also examinedI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
