European and Russian Diplomatic Reports on a Changing Russia. Diplomatic Languages and Concepts as Indicators and Factors of Change and Knowledge Accumulation (c. 1680-1730.)

彼得一世的统治在政治、经济、社会和文化方面发生了根本性的变化，经常被描述为革命性的。因此，这些深刻的变化也在语言和词汇方面留下了痕迹，例如借用了新的技术术语、行政术语和航海术语。通过使用材料从彼得的时代，特别是研究已经指出，一个可能的语义转变有关的确切含义的一个术语是这个过程的结果，借用和使用这些表达式在一个新的文化环境。自彼得外交接触加强与西欧国家，特别是法院在德国领域。双方的共同利益不断增长，联盟不断形成，王朝婚姻也在庆祝。随着接触和谈判议题的增加，外交官的报告也增加了。虽然研究注意到接触次数的增加和关系的加强，但外交人员撰写相关问题的方式（以及他们如何相互看待他们和他们的同行），即外交报道，尚未得到系统的分析。这是当前项目的两个出发点：最近出版的资料和新的资料来源，涉及到公元前300年以来圣彼得堡、维也纳、荷尔斯泰因-戈托夫、梅克伦堡-什未林、勃兰登堡-普鲁士和萨克森选民之间的关系。1680-1730年（一）e.从彼得和他的第一个继任者的统治），是要系统地分析。通过应用思想和概念的历史（或“Begriffsgeschichte”）和历史语义学的方法，这些过程的相互感知和语言指标的变化在俄罗斯法院也继续在彼得的继任者的时代将被确定。

With respect to the radical changes in politics, economy, society and culture the reign of Peter I was often described as revolutionary. As a consequence those profound changes also left their marks with regard to language and lexis, as indicated e.g. by borrowing new expressions for technical terms, administrative and nautical ones. By means of using material from Peter’s era in particular research has already pointed out that a possible semantic shift concerning the exact meaning of a term was the result of that process of borrowing and using of those expressions in a new cultural environment.Since Peter diplomatic contacts with western European countries intensified, especially with courts in the German Realm. The mutual interest grew, alliances were formed and dynastic marriages were celebrated. Alongside with the growing number of contacts and topics to be negotiated, the reporting done by diplomats also increased. Although research noticed the rising number of contacts and intensification of relations, the way the diplomatic staff wrote about relevant issues (and how they mutually perceived them and their counterparts), the diplomatic reporting, has not yet been systematically analyzed. These are the two starting points for the current project: recently published sources and new source material concerning the relations between the courts in St. Petersburg, Vienna, Holstein-Gottorf, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Brandenburg-Prussia and the electorate of Saxony, dating from a period of c. 1680-1730 (i. e. from the reign of Peter and his first successors), are to be analyzed systematically. By applying methods of the history of ideas and concepts (or “Begriffsgeschichte”) and approaches of historical semantics changes in the mutual perception and linguistic indicators of those processes at the Russian court also continuing in the times of Peter’s successors are to be identified.
