In the introduction, the author traces the development of Russian vocabulary and focuses on factors that have affected semantic and lexical change. In the main part of the book, a typical entry gives the present meaning of the word, the dates of the first appearance in the language and of subsequent meaning changes, and details of orthographical, phonetic and social factors that have affected its development. Cognate words in Russian and other languages help to place each word in its linguistic context. The dictionary is designed to be user-friendly, facilitating the task of learning vocabulary and raising the language awareness of students. It presents an interesting anaylsis of word derivation at the same time as revealing factors that affect lexical development and establishing links with other languages. Review: Great etymological dictionary - I am a beginning student of Russian and a lifeline student of Indo European and a Spanish professor. I love languages, especially Indo European ones and have studied several: Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, French, Italian, Latin and now Russian. When I learn a language I always try to work at learning the roots, prefixes and suffixes that will eventually allow for quicker word recognition. I did this when I learned Hebrew as well (not Indo European, but still fun!) This is my second purchase of a Russian etymological dictionary and it is the better of the two. Easy to read and then includes lists of words in other Indo European languages that share a given root, if applicable. Review: Fascinating & unique russian language book--Well bound too. - I love this book. it is unique (to my knowledge)--even some of my russian friends haven't seen one like it before. If you are a linguaphile, then this is the kind of browsing book perfect to keep at bedside or to tote along when you know you'll have a wait in a doctor's office or in a movie line. It is fascinating to see the relationship of russian words to Latin, Greek, and (more recently) to Czech, Polish, German, and Lithuanian. Learning about and recognizing the cognates, calques, and derivatives is helping me to learn the language better, little by little. Although it is a soft-cover, the binding is well made; it does not appear to be the kind of binding that will break in the middle like some cheaply made soft-cover books do. I am very happy with this purchase. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,310,211 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #183 in French Language Instruction (Books) #2,228 in Foreign Dictionaries & Thesauruses #3,490 in Foreign Language Instruction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 17 Reviews | ## Images ![Russian Etymological Dictionary (Russian Studies) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SLpztHKUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great etymological dictionary *by L***Z on March 7, 2020* I am a beginning student of Russian and a lifeline student of Indo European and a Spanish professor.
