The establishment of grammatical standards in Omelan Partycki’s grammar against other 19th-century Ukrainian grammars

Summary/Abstract: The grammar proposed by O. Partycki was published in 1873. Since that time it has been published four times. In the following editions Partycki modified his grammar especially in the field of grammar terminology. However, some changes in grammar description and orthography can also be observed. Based on the analysis of selected phenomena I will be investigating to what extent Partycki’s grammar continues the trend presented in other books on grammar published earlier, and to what degree it influences the establishment of the main non-dialectical version of the Ukrainian language by introducing new elements and eliminating those of clearly dialectical features. After analyzing the selected data, it can be assumed that Partycki’s grammar widely corresponds with contemporarily established inflectional standards. Simultaneously, when these data were compared with data from other grammars published earlier, Partycki’s version eliminates mainly those variants that reveal dialectical features such as dialectal characteristics (e.g. the appropriate endings for non-palatal-stem nouns used for soft-stemmed nouns, enclitic forms of personal pronouns, forms of past tense without pronouns, etc). It also aims to regulate and standardize grammatical rules. Undoubtedly, Partycki’s grammar constituted the subsequent, significant stage in the standardization of the Ukrainian language and its author unarguably contributed to the formation of generally accepted grammar rules.
