This is one of the Columbia Slavic Studies series. The contents include: Distribution Subdivisions; Protoslavic; Expansion; History of the Literary Languages; Samples Comparative Phonology; Comparative Grammar and the Selected Bibliography. Roman Osipovich Jakobson 11 October O.S. 29 September 1896 - 18 July 1982 was a Russian linguist and literary theorist. A pioneer of structural linguistics Jakobson was one of the most celebrated and influential linguists of the twentieth century. With Nikolai Trubetzkoy he developed revolutionary new techniques for the analysis of linguistic sound systems in effect founding the modern discipline of phonology. Jakobson went on to extend similar principles and techniques to the study of other aspects of language such as syntax morphology and semantics. He made numerous contributions to Slavic linguistics. He proposed methods for the investigation of poetry music the visual arts and cinema. Jakobson became a pivotal figure in the adaptation of structural analysis to disciplines beyond linguistics including philosophy anthropology and literary theory. Jakobson's work has continued to receive attention in linguistic anthropology. Jakobson's concept of underlying linguistic universals particularly his celebrated theory of distinctive features decisively influenced Noam Chomsky the dominant figure in theoretical linguistics during the second half of the twentieth century. The Slavic languages also known as the Slavonic languages are Indo-European languages spoken primarily by the Slavic peoples and their descendants. They are thought to descend from a proto-language called Proto-Slavic spoken during the Early Middle Ages which in turn is thought to have descended from the earlier Proto-Balto-Slavic language linking the Slavic languages to the Baltic languages in a Balto-Slavic group within the Indo-European family. The Slavic languages are conventionally that is also on the basis of extralinguistic features divided into three subgroups: East South and West which together constitute more than 20 languages. Of these 10 have at least one million speakers and official status as the national languages of the countries in which they are predominantly spoken: Russian Belarusian and Ukrainian of the East group Polish Czech and Slovak of the West group and Bulgarian and Macedonian eastern dialects of the South group and Serbo-Croatian and Slovene western dialects of the South group. In addition Aleksandr Dulichenko recognizes a number of Slavic microlanguages: both isolated ethnolects and peripheral dialects of more well-established Slavic languages. Slavic languages are highly fusional and with some exceptions have richly developed inflection and cases. The word order of the Slavic languages is mostly free. The current geographical distribution of natively spoken Slavic languages includes the Balkans Central and Eastern Europe and all the way from Western Siberia to the Russian Far East. Furthermore the diasporas of many Slavic peoples have established isolated minorities of speakers of their languages all over the world. The number of speakers of all Slavic languages together was estimated to be 315 million at the turn of the twenty-first century. It is the largest ethno-linguistic group in Europe.
