In the last decades we gained a much deeper knowledge about the historical context of Slavic unity.This unity was first of all of a linguistic nature and became one of the pillars of the Slavic ethnogenesis, which was anyway also the result of social and political factors. In this article are furthermore taken into account some concepts from contact linguistics: large phenomena of linguistic mixture are rather unlikely to have happened, whereas probably there were phenomena of linguistic shift to Slavic, in particular of Finnic peoples, with cultural (not linguistic) substratum traces of their past. |
