Synopsis

First published in 1887, this vintage book offers a short account of the chief characteristics of the Serbian language, with a special focus on its grammar. Serbian is the language Serbia, the territory of Kosovo, as well one one of the languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is also spoken in Montenegro, Croatia, Macedonia, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. With clear explanations and helpful tables, this volume will appeal to those with an interest in the learning the Serbian language or how it it has developed within the last century. Contents include: "The Alphabet", "The Accents", "Characteristics of the Dialects", "Doctrine of Forms", "The Gender of Substantives", "Declension", "Consonantal Stems", "Adjectives". "Degrees of Comparison", "The Numerals", "Pronouns", "The Verb", "Prefixes", "Stems without Suffixes", etc. William Richard Morfill FBA (1834 - 1909) was Professor of Russian and allied languages at the University of Oxford from 1900 to 1909. He was the first such professor in Britain and wrote many books on the subject, including "A Grammar of the Russian Language" (1889), "The Story of Russia" (1890), and "Slavonic Region" (1904). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this classic volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition for the enjoyment of literature lovers now and for years to come.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The object of the Serbian grammar now laid before the public is to give a short account of the chief characteristics of the language. It is believed that these will be found adequately stated, although with great brevity. I have derived some assistance from the grammar of A. Parcic, of which a French translation has appeared but in the classification of the nouns and verbs have followed Miklosich (Vergleichende Grammatik) and Danicic (Облици Cрпскогa Jезика, 3rd edition, Belgrade 1863). The grammatical forms in this little work are treated throughout in such a way as to bring the language in harmony with those of the Old Slavonic, its eldest surviving sister. It is only upon such principles that they can be properly explained.

In treating a language where so many dialects struggle for supremacy, it has been impossible to avoid a certain amount of inconsistency in orthography and grammatical forms, but I have taken pains that all the most prominent variations should be noted.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints.
