Talk:Slavic studies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It should be usefull to have a better list of contemporary slavists... --Millosh 08:08, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The article states that Slavistics is interested only in language, culture and literature. That seems rather limited to me - what about history? Similary, I think that not only linguist or philologist can classify as a Slavist. Comments?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 03:33, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, sure, just like any humanist, a Slavist could be a professional semiologist, philosopher, archaeologist or sociologist. However, the studies are primarily associated with language studies, while historical studies on early Slavs are just that: a branch of history rather than branch of Slavistics. At times such studies are considered a part of Slavistics, at times they're not. Or am I wrong? //Halibutt 04:55, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
I agree with Halibutt here. --Ghirla -трёп- 08:31, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps there is confusion between more linguistic focuses slavistics and broader slavic studies, and a split is needed?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 14:48, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The result of the debate was Move. (Early closure as obviously uncontrovertial -- not a proper noun). A case could be made for a move to Slavistics though, as arguably more common. Duja► 12:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

To Slavic studies. Completing for nom, neutral for now. --Groggy Dice T | C 03:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

  1. Support. Generaly, we don't capitalize article names, do we? Why should we vote about this? Compare English studies, German studies, etc. Daniel Šebesta (talk • contribs) 03:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  2. Sure - this doesn't even need a survey, I think... -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  03:13, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  3. Of course I support the move. I am the responsible mover. Sorry I did this without following this protocol. If votes prefer the old name, I will not tamper. If accepted, I hope the broader and more up-to-date name will lead to improvements of this article to reflect the breadth and many innovative directions of the field. I don't object to lower-case "studies"Peshkov 03:19, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
