With this textbook, students will learn approximately 300 new words and improve their ability to deduce the meanings of new words through common roots. They will also gain a deeper understanding of the meanings of prefixes and suffixes, enhancing their ability to communicate more precisely. This textbook will not only strengthen the students’ Russian language but also sharpen linguistic skills in their native language by cultivating an awareness of semantic similarities across languages.  \nRussian Word Roots is ideal for students with a Novice High to Intermediate Low proficiency level in Russian and an existing understanding of basic grammar concepts, including verb conjugation, cases, and word-formation patterns.  \nJulia Katsnelson is a senior lecturer in the Russian Program in the School of World Languages and Cultures at the University of Vermont, USA.  \n“The word-formation system of the Russian language is the most important tool for the formation of new words and replenishment of the vocabulary of the Russian language. This becomes especially important when students study Russian as a foreign language. I would like to emphasize the content value of this textbook: the big quantitative composition of the analyzed word-formation models; very good methods of introduction and of consolidating the studied material; each root is presented in different meanings, phrases, and contexts; each form is provided with illustrative material showing grammatical, semantic features, and verb control; and training tasks for practicing grammatical skills and writing sentences are presented, which contributes to the mastery of this material.  \nThe methodological value of this work is also difficult to overestimate, because at each stage of studying, the teacher develops students’ skills and abilities to recognize and use word-formation models during both active and passive speech production, and this book will help them to do that.”  \nLarisa Moskvitina, Davidson College and Middlebury College, Summer Russian School, USA  \nRUSSIAN WORD ROOTS  \nAn Introduction to the WordFormation System  \nJulia Katsnelson  \nDesigned cover image: Svetlana Koulnis  \nFirst published 2025  \nby Routledge  \n4 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RNand by Routledge  \n605 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10158  \nRoutledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business © 2025 Julia Katsnelson  \nThe right of Julia Katsnelson to be identified as author of this work has been asserted in accordance with sections 77 and 78 of the Copyright, Designsand Patents Act 1988.  \nAll rights reserved.
