Présentation de l'éditeur

The livingS lavonic languages are Russian, Polish, Czecho-S lovak, Serbo-C roatian, Slovene, Wendish and Bulgarian, all so closely related that a knowledge of any one of them is a key to an easy comprehension of all the others. The Russian language is difficult and at first sight, irregular, and yet many obstacles disappear when the student becomes familiar with the phonetics and the grammatical basis. Russian is hard to acquire at first, mainly owing to the somewhat confusing phonetics; viz., the unlikeness of many sounds to those of English and the changes in spelling of numerous forms, when certain sounds are combined. A dded to this is the fact that the accent does not fall regularly on any one syllable, but moves in the inflected forms of the same word so arbitrarily, that the stress of each form must be learned rather by association than by memorizing. In the present grammar, the compiler has tried to lead the learner more briefly than has been done in some other grammars of Russian, by progressive steps through the mazes of Russian morphology. Most of the examples given are intended for reference and not to be learned by heart at the outset. No attempt has been made to expound the higher style, poetical metre, etc., as these canbe learned only after the beginner is well equipped grammatically. It is absolutely necessary to train students first in the accidence, teaching them to recognize and use, both by sight and sound, the inflections and conjugations. This has been attempted in the present work by means of exercises in Russian at the close of each lesson.
