Omschrijving
The Avgust Pavel’s Vend nyelvtan or Prekmurje Slovene Grammar (1942) offers linguists insight into a key part of the remarkable variation in Slovene. A peripheral area of Slovene, the Prekmurje dialect is in contact with German, Hungarian, and Croatian Kajkavian.
“Greenberg’s critical edition is a model of how to present such historical treasures to the contemporary scholarly community. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Slovene diachronic linguistics, dialectology, the history of Slavic grammars, and related topics, as well as an indispensable reference for anyone interested in the Prekmurje dialect and its written tradition.” ~ Marko Snoj, Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, in Canadian Slavonic Papers (63/3-4, 2021).
Marc L. Greenberg, Ph.D. (1990), is Professor Slavic Languages & Literatures at the University of Kansas and corresponding member of the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts. He has published widely on Slavic linguistics, focusing on western South Slavic languages.
