Українська мова в західноукраїнських шкільних підручниках другої половини ХVIII–першої половини ХІХ ст.

Abstract

The paper is based оn the less known Ukrainian old prints like Polityka Svitskaya from Pochaiv (1770), АВс-boоk from Lviv (1790), ABC-book bу I.Kutka from Transcarpathia (1797), and Pravyla Shkolnaya bу I.Mohylnytsky (1817). It is shown that (а) printed literature was published in Ukraine in the Ukrainian language even before Eneida bу I.Kotlyarevsky (1798); (b) the Ukrainian language was used in schools of Western Ukraine already since the second half of the 18th century; (с) the popular-based scientific style was developing іn Ukraine іn the 18th century not only in manuscripts (medical and household advice books), but also in printed schoolbooks for popular schools of Halychyna, Volyn and Transcarpathia.
