They can also classify Czech within the system of world languages. - Explain the stratification of the Czech national language, describe linguistic norms, codification, and use codification handbooks. They can recognize and apply the correct linguistic usage. - Define the differences between phonetics and phonology, describe basic processes related to respiration, articulation, and phonation, and identify typical sound changes in Czech. - Classify consonants and vowels based on their voicing, place, and manner of articulation. - Identify phrasing and modulation elements in spoken language, distinguish pronunciation styles, and recognize deviations from standard pronunciation, including speech disorders and pronunciation defects. - Distinguish types of orthography and provide specific examples of spelling phenomena. Apply typographic standards in practice. - Explain basic concepts of lexicology, distinguish between active and passive vocabulary, and describe processes of vocabulary change, including univerbization and multiverbization. - Analyze words in terms of word formation processes, distinguish between base and derived words, and determine word formation bases and means. - Differentiate between lexical, grammatical, and lexically-grammatical words, understand the semantic relationships between words, and identify unmarked and marked words in context.
