“GENERAL SLAVIC LINGUISTIC ATLAS” AND SLOVAK-RUSSIAN LEXICAL ISOGLOSSES

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of Slovak-Russian lexical isoglosses. Using materials of “The Slavic linguistic atlas”, the author believes that the general Slavic perspective is essential to understanding the true nature of the Slovak-Russian areal relations. It allows figuring out the following problem: which lexical parallels reflect and continue the relationship of the original system, and which indicate uneven implementation of the system of relations inherited from the Proto-Slavic era.
