Abstract:

This article investigates the language programme of Myxajlo Lučkaj (Pop) (1789-1843), one of Subcarpathia's national awakeners. Special emphasis is placed on the `linguistic democratism' of his collection of fifty-seven sermons for popular instruction (1831). The author concludes that Lučkaj created a so-called `middle' plain language that was a continuation structurally of the `old' prostaja mova (Ruthenian), in contrast to seventeenth-century Church Slavonic. This explains the ambivalence of his linguistic legacy in the cultural context of Subcarpathia and Galicia where the Greek Catholic clergy advanced the idea of one literary language.
