This issue is devoted to Belarusian studies, broadly understood, and encompasses research on language, culture, literature, and identity, devoting particular attention to borderland perspectives and both historical and contemporary contexts. The volume opens with an In memoriam section dedicated to Professor Mikołaj Timoszuk, an eminent scholar whose academic legacy has made a lasting contribution to the field.
The core of the issue consists of scholarly articles in dialectology, sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics, and the history of language. The contributors examine, among other topics, food-related vocabulary, historic names of the days of the week, the geographical limits of Belarusian dialects, the role of nicknames, and the sociolinguistic status of the generic masculine. Several articles focus on language and identity, addressing historical patterns of self-identification as well as present-day motivations for learning Belarusian in the context of migration and social change.
The volume also includes literary studies dealing with Jesuit drama, the Belarusian émigré press, contemporary literature, and nineteenth-century historical narratives. The issue is complemented by reviews of recent publications in Belarusian studies and reports from academic conferences and fieldwork. Altogether, this volume reveals the interdisciplinary nature and ongoing vitality of research on the Belarusian linguistic and cultural space.
The 25th volume of the journal “Acta Albaruthenica” demonstrates the dynamics and interdisciplinary nature of modern Belarusian linguistic and cultural studies.
