"Yuri Shevchuk's Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary is a
highly welcome addition to Ukrainian lexicology, the first of its
kind to present the most frequently found combinations of Ukrainian
words in a modern setting with fluid, pitch-perfect English
translations. It will be a major reference for students learning
Ukrainian, for travelers, and for advanced speakers of Ukrainian,
who will profit from its wide-ranging morphological, syntactic and
lexical detail."--Michael S. Flier, Harvard University
"Shevchuk has not only produced an infinitely helpful resource for
anyone interested in Ukrainian, but given us one of the most
breathtaking scholarly achievements in Slavonic Studies in many
years. It is a monument to the Ukrainian language and a watershed
in its development on the global stage.” — Rory Finnin,
University of Cambridge
"The publication of this Ukrainian-English Collocation Dictionary
comprises a monumental event in Ukrainian lexicology. . . . The
sheer abundance and quality information in Shevchuk's entries
should make his dictionary a primary source that translators and
learners should go to in seeking translations of Ukrainian words
and expressions. Shevchuk's collocation dictionary, the first of
its kind for any Slavic language, should also serve as a useful
template for future compilers of similarly constructed dictionaries
for the Slavic world. . . . a remarkable contribution to Ukrainian
lexicology that will have meaningful impact for decades to come."—
