Andriy Danylenko

Professor Andriy Danylenko of Pace University (USA) is an active faculty member specializing in Slavic linguistics, invited to the University of Lodz's Doctoral School of Humanities in May 2025 under the NAWA STER program. His June 2025 lectures addressed Ukrainian language history and Slavic linguistic hybridization in medieval contexts, followed by discussions on contemporary Ukrainian sociolinguistic dynamics involving Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, Polish, and mixed idiolects.

Danylenko's research spans Linguistics, Slavic Philology, and Sociolinguistics, with deep expertise in Ukrainian Language evolution, Historical Linguistics of Slavic diaspora, and Language Contact phenomena. His work analyzes the Ukrainian Vulgate's geographic variations and Slavic slaves' linguistic impact in Al-Andalus/Ifrīqīyah, emphasizing how historical hybridization informs modern attitudes toward language identity in Ukraine, particularly amid geopolitical tensions influencing speaker preferences.
