Learning outcomes
Bádání v oblasti jazykových kontaktů, konkrétně příspěvky ke kontaktní lingvistice, kontrastivní lingvistice a lingvistice chyb, představuje tradiční předmět zájmu české lingvistické germanistiky. Seminář nastíní historický vývoj výzkumu v této oblasti i aktuální stav bádání. Na základě četby vybraných textů budou představeny stěžejní přístupy.
The seminars aim at expanding students' knowledge of current topics in contemporary modern linguistics. Students will become acquainted with reference literature concerning individual partial topics, they will be able to perform independent linguistic text analysis and apply their knowledge in their professional life. A special emphasis is laid on disciplines that have developed since the second half of the 20th century, after the so-called pragmatic turn.
