Slavica 50th Anniversary Reissues

These books are a series of reprints of notable titles published by Slavica and long out of print. We are restoring these titles to print and making them available as free downloads from our website, slavica.indiana.edu, in honor of Slavica’s fiftieth anniversary in 2016. Yes, we are officially middle-­‐‑aged. Founded by four graduate students at Harvard in 1966, Slavica published its first book in 1968, Studies Presented to Professor Roman Jakobson by His Students. To celebrate Slavica’s jubilee, we are releasing in .pdf format, no strings attached, scans of twelve out-­‐‑of-­‐‑print titles. Enjoy these books, tell your friends, and feel free to share them with colleagues and students.
