Національна українська традиція розвою теолінгвістики: дорадянський і радянський періоди (критичний огляд)
National Ukrainian Tradition of the Development of Theo-linguistics: Pre-Soviet and Soviet Periods (Critical Review)

Summary/Abstract: In the field of Slavic studies, Polish scholars were perhaps the most active in defending theolinguistics as a separate scientific discipline, until recently the global problem of “Language and religion” was on the margins in Ukraine. However, Ukrainian theolinguistics has a long and complex history, as it dates back to the nineteenth century. The study of theolinguistics was carried out primarily by the representatives of the Potebnya school and scholars of the diaspora, who focused on the analysis of ancient religious vocabulary. In Soviet times, theolinguistics in Ukraine developed through works on the history of language and general linguistics. Among Ukrainian Soviet researchers is the figure of Bulakhovsky, who emphasized the relationship between language and religion and analysed the influence of religious factors on the development of literary languages, as well as the reverse effect of language on religion.
