English
Noun
Slavist (plural Slavists)
- (historical) A Slavophile.
2017, Adam Mesiarkin, “The name of the Slavs: Etymology and Meaning”, in Studia Slavica et Balcanica Petropolitana, number 1, page 8:Slověn / Slovan (in a so-called non-productive form) would have been an appellative similar to bratěn / bratan which de facto confirms a thesis of the Slavs as those «linguistically» related. Among the Slavists, it was by no means less popular searching for a word base in a word sláva (glory) as an Adam Czarnocki’s quotation attests.
- A specialist in the Slavic languages, literature or culture.
