Title: Online Concordance to the Complete Works of Hryhorii Skovoroda
Body: From http://www.arts.ualberta.ca/~ukr/skovoroda/NEW/index.php This concordance is a free resource for searching, analyzing, and reading Hryhorii Skovoroda's oeuvre. Visitors can search for specific words, discover their frequency and view them in a meaningful context (the so-called KWIC format: ‘keyword in context’). The concordance provides a complete inventory of Skovoroda’s Slavonic, Latin, and Greek vocabulary as reflected in his poetry, philosophical tracts and epistolography. The Concordance gives a wide spectrum of researchers—linguists, literary scholars, theologians, philosophers, Slavists, Latinists, and historians of Ukrainian culture—an unprecedented perspective on this fascinating thinker and writer. The types of analysis made possible by the concordance may lead, for example, to new dictionaries, both general and specialized of the old Ukrainian literary language on the eve of the Romantic movement. Access the concordance at http://www.arts.ualberta.ca/~ukr/skovoroda/NEW/index.php
