The lecture focuses on development of world´s linguistics from ancient India and Rome to contemporary European and American trends in the analysis of language. The lecture systematically deals with development of Czech linguistics too. The main goal here is the Prague Linguistic Circle and its tradition up to now.
The main goal of the course is to broaden student's horizons, regarding the object of linguistic studies, i.e. language and its structure, and of course the methods of linguistics.
