Learning outcomes
|
The course deals with changes in contemporary Czech lexicon and grammar (especially in Czech inflection), both in the frame of current development of Czech nation and its culture. Main theoretical goals of the course are principles of language change and relationship between spoken and written language.
Student acquires detailed knowledge in changes inside the language system, and thus he will be able to consider the usage of certain language means in texts better and in more differentiated way. Student´s own communicative competence will be improved (the student will better know e.g. communicative value of certain dublets). Beneficial effect of the course consists in giving the complex information about the language as living, oscillating and flexible instrument for communication and building of interpresonal relations. Thus the course makes a contribution to broaden student´s competence in social sciences.
