Learning outcomes

The course is an introduction to the problems of influence of certain language on another one. The course summarizes theoretical knowledges in this topic and it illustrates the knowledges (and verifies them) on the material of languages in the Central Europe. The main topics are: contact and conflict between German language on the one hand, and Slavic languages in the other hand. Influence of Czech language on neighbouring Slavic and non-Slavic languages. "Slavization" of Hungarian language. Loan words. Calques. Europeisms. Latin language as a basis for language and cultural convergence. Convergence in grammar of Central European languages (future, reducing of inventory of tense forms, parallels in construction of compound sentences etc.).
Acquisions of knowledge in principles and mechanisms of language contact. The second aim is to broaden student´s horizons in cultural history of the Central Europe and also in his own mother tongue - thanks to confrontation with foreign languages that have (mostly) different structures, but live in the same geographic area and in the same cultural and historical context.
