Learning outcomes
This discipline thematically deals with studying old periods of Czech language (Proto-Czech, Old and Middle Czech), with partial dialectological excursions and comparison among present day Czech material. The central part of interpretations of Historical Grammar II will be dedicated to morphology, attention will be payed also to specific syntactic and morphological phenomena. Goal of this subject is to understand an old Czech text and changes in system of specific language levels. Fundamental part of the educational programme is an analysis of particular old Czech texts. Historical development description of Czech language is necessary for the present day Czech language study.
Students know: describe basic morphological tendencies to the New Czech language era and analyze esp. phonological features in the material of chosen Old-Czech texts; give an overview of responses of older morphological (and selectively syntactic and word formation) phenomena in Czech dialects and grammatically correct Czech language. Students can: orientate in old and present professional literature; work with professional production (esp. with Old Czech grammars), work with lexicographical handbooks (for example vocabularies); analyze material on the basis of lexicographical handbooks and from the etymological point of view, analyze Old Czech text from the phonological point of view; can work independently and under the leadership.
