“…With its more than six hundred and fifty pages, Shevelovʼs book A Prehistory of Slavic: The Historical Phonology of Common Slavic (Shevelov, /1965 is the most extensive synthesis of Slavic historical phonology so far created. A detailed description of all Slavic sound changes is given, covering the long period from the split of Balto-Slavic to the disintegration of Common Slavic, i.e.…”

“…In the introductory chapter (cf. above all Shevelov, /1965, Shevelov declares his opinions on the comparative method as follows. He claims that the traditional comparative method provides insight only into the development of individual investigated elements, thus being, in its essence, atomistic.…”

“…Thus, the traditional comparative method becomes something that Shevelov calls the "integrated comparative method" (ICM). This method "gives one the possibility to reconstruct the entire phonemic system of the reconstructed language in its essential features for the period between any two sound changes" (Shevelov, /1965). Shevelov also discusses the famous difference between the algebraic (formulist) and the realistic approach to reconstructions (cf.…”

“…One must not be too skeptical. (Shevelov, /1965 Let us add that Shevelovʼs book also belongs to the conventional paradigm in terms of its adherence to the traditional localization of the original Slavic homeland to the northeast of the Carpathian Mountains (cf. Shevelov, /1965.…”

“…In my paper, I wish to offer a new perspective to complement the mentioned papers, focused on Shevelov's relation to the topic of language contact in general and language contact of Slavic in particular. Empirically, the study deals with Shevelovʼs main contribution to Slavic historical linguistics (Shevelov, /1965, whereas methodologically it is based on my distinction of several paradigms of historical-comparative linguistics.…”

George Y. Shevelovʼs Contribution to Slavic Historical- Comparative Linguistics with a Focus on Language Contact: Remarks on A Prehistory of Slavic On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the death of the Ukrainian linguist G. Y. Shevelov, this article attempts to evaluate his contribution to historical-comparative linguistics. Commenting on his pivotal work A Prehistory of Slavic: The Historical Phonology of Common Slavic (1964/1965), we mainly focus on how Shevelov understood the role of language contact in the development of languages in general and in the phonological development of Common Slavic in particular. His approach is analyzed with the help of our concept of paradigms of historical-comparative linguistics, working with the conventionalist, revisionist, and revolutionary paradigms. Wkład Jurija Szewelowa w językoznawstwo historyczno-porównawcze języków słowiańskich ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem kontaktu językowego. Uwagi na temat dzieła A Prehistory of Slavic Z okazji 20. rocznicy śmierci ukraińskiego językoznawcy Jurija Szewelowa niniejszy artykuł podejmuje próbę oceny jego wkładu w językoznawstwo historyczno-porównawcze. Komentując jego kluczowe dzieło A Prehistory of Slavic: The Historical Phonology of Common Slavic (1964/1965), skupiamy się głównie na tym, jak Szewelow rozumiał rolę kontaktu językowego w rozwoju języków w ogóle, a w rozwoju fonologicznym języka prasłowiańskiego w szczególności. Jego podejście jest analizowane za pomocą naszej koncepcji językoznawstwa historyczno-porównawczego, która obejmuje paradygmaty: konwencjonalistyczny, rewizjonistyczny i rewolucyjny w języku.
