Abstract: NEW TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTEMPORARY LINGUISTICS IN SERBIADepending on the theory of the origin of the Rusyns/Rusnaks in Bačka and their language, the Bačka-Srem Rusyn language was treated as a dialect of the Russian language, a dialect of the Slovak language, a dialect of the Ukrainian language and as a Rusyn language.In the first part of the paper, the author gives an overview of the Rusyn language research so far, and in the second part, contemporary research is presented, which has been enabled by the acquisition of the ISO-code (RSK). As a result of obtaining this code, conditions were created for the Rusyn language to be assigned a numerical code, according to which librarians in the country and abroad would classify books in the Rusyn language of the Bačka-Srem Rusyns. Havrijil Koljesar devoted himself to providing the necessary number of entries for Wikipedia in the Rusyn language, and Mihajlo Fejsa to providing the necessary lexicographic literature for translation on the English-Rusyn and Rusyn-English relations. Based on his doctoral thesis, in which Fejsa compared the verb structures of the English and Rusyn languages (Фејса 2005), he published the results of the comparison of the sentence constructions of the English and Rusyn languages (Fejsa 2015в), and satisfied the first condition for the realization of machine translation on the relations between English and Rusyn. By publishing the English-Rusyn Dictionary (Фейса, Шлемендер, Чельовски 2022) the second of the three necessary conditions is satisfied. The third condition is the publication of the Rusyn-English Dictionary.
