| Summary: | The Russian grammatical terminology stems from a synthesis of Greek and Latin terminologies, which occurred in the early 17th century in the Slavonic grammar by Meletius Smotrickij (1618). However, for historical, cultural and religious reasons, a Greek base was dominant. This paper aims at retracing the genesis of the terminology in the main grammatical treatises of the Slavonic language. It pays particular attention to the status of the article while focusing on the naming of the parts of speech. We claim that the article, a superfluous category with regard to the facts of the Slavonic language, appears as a marker of fidelity to the Greek model. |
