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

[Ivan Levin]

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.


Best regards
