Grønn Atle, Marijanovic Irena (Editors). Russian in Contrast. Vol.1

Oslo University, 2010. — 248 p. — (Oslo Studies in Language). Труды конференции по русскому языку, проходившей в Осло. На английском языке. This is a valuable and highly stimulating collection of articles. The proceedings comprise three parts, and in the spirit of the conference, with parallel publications in English and Russian. These introductory remarks relate to the first two parts which contain the articles in English. The papers from Russian in Contrast reflect the diversity, strength, and, perhaps, shortcomings of this field.
