Research on the characteristics of the Old Russian Literary language in its embryonic stage

从1998年到2001年，岩井和服部对古俄罗斯文学语言的萌芽阶段进行了语言学研究，重点是大天使福音书。本研究是为了完善我们之前的研究：1995年至1997年，我们进行了“从俄语版本的古教会斯拉夫语到萌芽阶段的古俄语文学语言的过渡研究”。由于大天使福音书的词汇索引是进行我们的研究必不可少的，我们准备了一个基于计算机的词汇索引。我们也为这本福音书做了一个反向词汇索引。利用这两个索引，岩井英二写了一本关于大天使福音书中形容词的不同用法的专著，如短形式和长形式。与此同时，岩井俊二重新审视了大天使福音书的文本，并注意到了《圣典》和《Menologion》的结构划分。他的研究使我们的词汇索引更加准确，并有助于进一步理解大天使福音书中的日历部分。这项研究的合作者服部写了一本专著，分析了大天使福音书中过去时的例子。Iwai从语言学的角度对这一研究进行了总结并发表。我们的研究表明，大天使福音书中包含了古俄罗斯文学语言的雏形。

From 1998 through 2001 Iwai and Hattori did philological research on the embryonic stage of the Old Russian literary language, focusing on the Archangel Gospels. This study is planned to improve our previous study : "Research on the transition from Old Church Slavonic in its Russian version to the Old Russian literary language in its embryonic stage" was carried out from 1995 to 1997.Since a lexical index of the Archangel Gospels is indispensable to conduct our study, we prepared a computer-based vocabulary index. We also made a reverse vocabulary index of this Gospel Book. Utilizing these two indexes, Iwai wrote a monograph on the different usages of adjectives found in the Archangel Gospels, such as the short forms and the long forms.At the same time Iwai reexamined the text of the Archangel Gospels, paying attention to the structural division of the Synaxarion and the Menologion. His study made our vocabulary indexes more accurate, and contributed to the further understanding of the calendar part in the Archangel Gospels as well.And Hattori, collaborator in this research, wrote a monograph that analyzed examples of the past tense in the Archangel Gospels. This research was summarized and published by Iwai from the philological viewpoint. Our research shows that the Archangel Gospels includes an embryo of the Old Russian literary language in it.
