Белорусский язык ХVІІІ в. – исследовательские постулаты

Journal Title: Studia Białorutenistyczne - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 12

Abstract

This article offers an analysis of religious texts published in the 18th century by a Basilian printing house in Supraśl (Sobranije pripadkov korotkoje, 1722, Kratkoje sosłowie nauki christijanskija, 1759). Works of religious nature used to be omitted in the study of Belarusian language and literature of the 18th century due to political factors, as well as scholarly stereotypes belittling their significance. The texts analyzed, written in the Belarusian language known as „prosta mova”, constitute a proof of the vivacity of the latter, and contradict the theories about the disappearance of the Belarusian written language in the 18th century. The phonetic features of the Belarusian language described in the article and reflected in these texts serve as a pretext to put forward several research postulates. Namely: a) the need for a detailed linguistic analysis of religious texts printed in Cyrillic alphabet (albeit not in the Orthodox Slavic language, but rather in prosta mova/Ruthenian) and a search for other literary works in order to analyze the language of this period; b) the need for an analysis of printed texts which reflect a certain usus rather than the language of individual authors; c) a thorough linguistic analysis of texts to indicate their dialectal basis and to define the trends (if any) affecting the subsequent formation of Belarusian language standards in its literary variety
