The department has focused on the Ukrainian glotogenesis and dialectogenesis and their ProtoSlavic origins, the history and structure of Church Slavonic in its East Slavic recension as attested in Old Ukrainian records and used on the Ukrainian ethnolinguistic territory in the 10th—13th centuries, and the history of the Ukrainian orthography. At the moment, three general research areas are in the center of scholarly interests, which are editorial studies of linguistics sources, historical lexicography, and the academic history of Ukrainian. Together with the historians of language working at different Ukrainian educational institutions and research centers, the department continues publishing the book series Ukrainian Written Records of the 11th—13th centuries.
