Researches of Ukrainian Scholars on the Pages of “Archive of Slavic Philology” by Vatroslav Jagić

Summary/Abstract: The article researches the problems of Ukrainian language studies in the scientific heritage of V. Jagić. Articles in German, reviews taken from the “Archive of Slavic Philology” and the works by V. Jagić were used as a source. The article characterizes the research directions of V. Jagić’s linguistic interests. It is found out that V. Jagić’s position in the Ukrainian question was two-faced. On the one hand, it was liberal; on the other hand, it was radical. V. Jagić took a great interest in two branches of Ukrainian linguistics: the history of the Ukrainian language development and historical grammar (on the basis of the researches of Old Russian literary heritage). As a result of the conducted studies it was found out that there were about 60 articles and reviews of Ukrainian studies in 42 issues of “Archive of Slavic Philology” by V. Jagić (1876-1929), half of which was dedicated to the questions of Ukrainian linguistics such as phonology, grammar, lexicology and dialectology.
