Marina Kuresevic serves as Professor in the Department of Serbian Language and Linguistics at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad, with over 15 years of academic service including election to Assistant Professor (2006, 2013) and Associate Professor (2018).
Her educational background includes a 1999 Diploma, 2005 Master's Degree (thesis: Absolute Dative in Serbian Medieval Literature from the 12th to the 15th Century), and 2012 Doctorate (dissertation: Infinitives and Infinitive Constructions in Theodosius's "Life of Saint Sava") from the Faculty of Philosophy, Novi Sad.
Professor Kuresevic specializes in historical syntax and medieval Slavic philology, with research examining case constructions, infinitive usage, and literary style evolution in Old Church Slavonic and Serbian texts. Her work bridges linguistic theory with textual analysis of 12th-15th century Serbian literature, particularly focusing on syntactic stratification and functionalist aspects of hypotactic structures.
Analysis of her 2006-2018 publications reveals consistent focus on diachronic syntax, with recent work (2016-2018) advancing understanding of accusative constructions, middle-style literary development, and semantic subordination in Church Slavonic. Her research demonstrates methodological rigor in combining philological analysis with syntactic theory to trace language evolution.
She actively contributes to national scholarly initiatives as Associate on the Ministry of Education's Project No. 178001 History of the Serbian Language (2011) and Matica Srpska's Dictionary of the Serbian Language of the 12th-18th Centuries (2013), while serving on the editorial board of Contributions to the Study of Languages since 2017.
Professor Kuresevic teaches advanced courses including Old Church Slavonic, History of the Serbian Literary Language, Comparative Grammar of Slavic Languages, and Philological Analysis of Serbo-Slavic Texts across multiple philology programs, mentoring students in syntactic analysis of medieval Slavic manuscripts.
