The Czech and Ukrainian editions of the mediaeval collection Lucidarius : the usage of the past tenses in the Czech, Ukrainian, and Russian editions
2013
Abstract
The article discusses the relations between the Czech and Ukrainian editions of the mediaeval collection Lucidarius; it traces the usage of the past tenses (plusquamperfect, perfect, imperfect and aorist) in the Czech (15th Cent.), Ukrainian, and Russian (16th-17th Cent.) editions. It is obvious that the perfect is used wholly in the Czech and Ukrainian editions (plusquamperfect uncommonly), in difference of the Russian edition where the peculiarities of the imperfect and the aorist usage are observed.
