Daniela S. Hristova is Assistant Professor of Slavic Linguistics and the College at the University of Chicago. She studied Slavic Philology and Slavic Linguistics at the University of Sofia, Charles University in Prague, University of Chicago and Harvard University; she wrote and defended “with distinction” her doctoral thesis on the syntactic structure and grammatical function of the participles in the Kievan Chronicle (PhD University of Chicago, 2002). Her scholarly interests include the study of language change, diachrony and synchrony of East Slavic languages, diachrony of Bulgarian, Medieval Slavic Orthodox culture, post-perestroika developments in Russian and their sociolinguistic motivations. Dr. Hristova is currently working on four monographs: Non-finite syntax: the Participles in Rusian, “Ja Poslal Tebe Berestu...”: The Novgorod Birch-Bark Letters or the “Emails” of the Medieval Russians, Syntactic Structures for Students of Early East Slavic, and The Language of the Bulgarian Redaction of “Stefanit i Ixnilat”.

Websites and technological projects

Searchable Database of Medieval Slavic Documents
A long-term project to create a searchable database of medieval Slavic texts. Due to the lack of encoding standards for medieval Slavic manuscripts, this is the first attempt to create electronic corpora of such texts. The ultimate goal is to include the most important medieval East and South Slavic documents.
