Skard\u017Eius wrote some 800 works and articles, both on purely academic subjects and on more practical issues of the everyday language. He was interested in the history of the Lithuanian language. His PhD thesis on the Slavic loanwords in ancient Lithuanian contained a list of 2,950 loanwords collected from 16\u201317th century Lithuanian texts. His habilitation was on the accentology of Mikalojus Dauk\u0161a (1527\u20131613). In 1943, he published a 768-page work on word formation in Lithuanian which was supposed to be part of the planned historical grammar. However, World War II and subsequent emigration disrupted his research plans and he published only short academic articles. He was also interested in standardizing the Lithuanian language and developing clear linguistic norms. He published numerous articles on practical issues of everyday language. In 1950, together with others, he published a 606-page guide to the Lithuanian language. In 1973, he published a practical aid for Lithuanian Americans to help them find Lithuanian equivalents to international words."@en . .
