KYIV LINGUISTIC SLAVISTICS OF THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE XXI st CENTURY: GENERAL OVERVIEW
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ahead of the 17th International Congress of Slavists in Paris in 2025, this article offers a general overview of the directions of scientific research in the first quarter of the 21st century by linguists-slavists of Kyiv, where leading academic and university Slavic centers are concentrated. From the perspective of terminology, linguistic Slavistics includes studies of the languages of Western and Southern Slavs, both separately and in a comparative plan, as well as against the broad background of Slavic linguistics. A brief overview of key works, mainly monographic, lexicographic, and linguistic didactic, is proposed. It is noted that linguists-slavists continue to research Slavic languages in comparative-historical, taxonomic, and communicative-functional paradigms, developing the ideas of leading Ukrainian Slavists of the 20th century and the first quarter of the 21st century — O. S. Melnychuk, V. M. Rusanivskyi, V. G. Sklyarenko, G. P. Pivtorak, O. B. Tkachenko, T. B. Lukinova, A. P. Nepokupny and others. The works of scholars are dedicated to theoretical and practical problems of semantics, etymology, dialectology, onomastics, ethnolinguistics, etc. Among the latest directions within which current issues of Western and Southern Slavic languages are researched are studies in linguocognitology, linguistic pragmatics, and linguofuturology. Attention is drawn to the prospects of Ukrainian linguistic Slavistics, which at the present stage is the work of enthusiasts devoted to their domain. The problem, among other things, is related to the training of personnel in universities, where study hours in the main linguistic and literary disciplines are reduced, interest in postgraduate studies diminishes, and economic difficulties have a negative impact.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
