[Jenling] Research seminar tomorrow: FEMININE PERSONAL NOUNS IN UKRAINIAN

[Ruprecht von Waldenfels]

Dear list members,

this is a really short notice but *tomorrow *will be the first *research 
seminar in slavic linguistics* this semester. The idea of the seminar is 
to give the employees, guests and students of our institute a platform 
for informal exchange of current research ideas and findings. It will 
take place each Thursday in room 306 at 12:30.

Tomorrow's topic is *THE CONTROVERSIAL RISE OF FEMININE PERSONAL NOUNS 
IN UKRAINIAN SINCE 2014* by *Dr. Vasyl Starko* from Ukrainian Catholic 
University (Lviv). Everyone, who is interested in the topic, is welcome 
to join us either personally or per Zoom.

*When:* Thursday, 14.11.2024, 12:30
*Where:* Ernst-Abbe-Platz 8, Raum 306, and via Zoom
*Zoom:* https://uni-jena-de.zoom-x.de/j/65674611770 *Passcode:* 146662
*Annotation:* The talk considers one of the most remarkable recent 
developments in the Ukrainian language: the increase in the frequency 
and diversity of feminine personal nouns. Corpus data is used to show 
when and how this change occurred. The discussion addresses the probable 
causes, contributing factors, and problematic aspects concerning the 
formation and use of these nouns. Several specific cases are examined in 
the light of survey and corpus data. The controversy triggered by this 
phenomenon in the Ukrainian linguistic circles and society at large is 
analyzed.
*Bio:* Dr. Vasyl Starko is an Associate Professor at the Department of 
Philology, Ukrainian Catholic University. His scholarly interests 
include corpus and cognitive linguistics, semantics, morphology, and 
Ukrainian and bilingual lexicography. He taught the courses "Ukrainian 
in Modern Ukrainian Society: Linguistic, Historical, and Sociological 
Aspects" (2021) and "Language and War in Ukraine" (2024) at Jena University.
