Regulations on the Department of the Ukrainian Language
Development strategy of the Ukrainian language department for 2020-2025.
The history of the Department of the Ukrainian Language is inextricably linked with the history of the development of our educational institution, as the Stanislav Teacher’s Institute opened three faculties – historical, physical-mathematical and linguistic-literary with two departments – Ukrainian and Russian language and literature.
Therefore, it will be appropriate to mention the most basic milestones of the development of the university, faculty and department:
- On March 1, 1940, by the decision of the Ukrainian SSR government, a teacher’s institute with a two-year term of study was opened in Ivano-Frankivsk (then Stanislav).
- On August 4, 1950, the Stanislav Teacher’s Institute was reorganized into a pedagogical one with a four-year course.
- In 1962, in connection with the renaming of the city of Stanislav to Ivano-Frankivsk, the institute also changed its name – Ivano-Frankivsk State Pedagogical Institute.
- On January 5, 1971, the Ivano-Frankivsk State Pedagogical Institute was named after Vasyl Stefanyk.
- On August 24, 1992, the institute was reorganized into Vasyl Stefanyk Prykarpattia State University with a 5-year course.
- Since 2004, the Carpathian University has become national.
The faculty also changed its status:
- in 1940-1941 and 1944-1951 it was called linguistic and literary,
- 1951-1969 – historical and philological,
- 1969-2004 – philological,
- 2004-2016 – Institute of Philology,
- since September 2016 – Faculty of Philology.

Currently, the department has three professors, doctors of philological sciences (V.V. Greschuk, M.I. Golyanich, V.M.

The appearance of a galaxy of creative personalities determines the diversity of directions of scientific research. First of all, these are the problems of Ukrainian word creation, the study of language problems of artistic text, topical problems of syntax, Ukrainian dialectology, especially Hutsul, onomastics, etc.
