Daniela Hristova, assistant professor in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Chicago, earned her Ph.D. in philology in 2002 at the same institution. With a primary research interest in the history and structure of the East Slavic languages, Hristova will spend five months at Harvard (September 2005–January 2006) to work on the topic "The Galician-Volhynian Chronicle: Languages, Writers, Multiplicities." She will study various linguistic levels of the Galician-Volhynian Chronicle in order to provide a comprehensive description of its language. The Chronicle is a unique data source for Ukrainian language and literature and through this study Hristova hopes to remedy the shortcomings of previous scholarly efforts to discern the exact textual boundary between the Galician and Volhynian sections and to better understand how the Chronicle was compiled.
