I taught Slavonic linguistics in the University of Glasgow from 1976 to 2006, when I retired and moved to Bologna, Italy. In recent years I have working on the changes that have been affecting the Slavonic languages in the most recent period, including the status of regional or minority languages as reflected both in formal documents, as well as in less formal situations.
