Abstract

The aim of this article is to present a selected set of phonetic features of Ukrainian Nauki Parochialnyja sermons, the authorship of which is attributed to Julian Dobryłowski. The monument appeared three times (1792, 1794 and 1797) in the Basilian printing in Pochayiv. According to the author’s assumptions, the monument is written in a language that was meant to be understood by all audiences. Therefore, it perfectly captures the features of the Ukrainian spoken language of the late eighteenth century.
