    THE ORIGINS OF
    THE SLAVS
    A LINGUIST’S VIEW

    by Zbigniew Gołąb
    From the Publisher

    This book represents the fourth in a series of reprints of notable titles


    published by Slavica and long out of print. We are restoring these titles
    to print and making them available as free downloads from our web
    site, slavica.indiana.edu, in honor of Slavica’s fiftieth anniversary. Yes,
    we are officially middle-aged. Founded by four graduate students at
    Harvard in 1966, Slavica published its first book in 1968, Studies Pre-
    sented to Professor Roman Jakobson by His Students. To celebrate Slavica’s
    jubilee, we are releasing in .pdf format, no strings attached, scans of
    twelve older titles that have been requested over the years. Enjoy these
    books, tell your friends, and feel free to share them with colleagues
    and students.

    The Origins of the Slavs: A Linguist’s View is a deep philological investi-


    gation into the identification of the original homeland where the Slavic
    languages and ethnicities coalesced as distinct from other Indo-Euro-
    pean peoples. Zbigniew Gołąb, Professor of Slavic Linguistics at the
    University of Chicago, surveys a huge range of data and contributes
    numerous original analytical points of his own. And as a personal
    note, let me mention that when I was a graduate student at Chicago in
    the early 1980s, I typed the majority of this remarkably difficult man-
    uscript twice on an IBM Selectric III typewriter, changing the typing
    element repeatedly in switching from one language or alphabet to an-
    other. The book itself was subsequently computer typeset by someone
    else, and thank God for that!

    Slavica would like to express its sincere thanks to the late author’s wife
    Janina Gołąbowa. We welcome comments on this and other forthcom-
    ing titles to be released in this series.
