Learning outcomes
The discipline introduces students to the basic aspects of the lexical level of the Czech language.

The basic principles of lexicographic work and the relationship between lexicology, semantics, philosophy and psychology will also be clarified. Upon completion of the course, students should be able to: Define the basic concepts of lexicology and clarify its position among other linguistic levels. Explain the difference between lexicology and semantics and the relationship of lexicology to philosophy and psychology. Characterise the lexical system of the Czech language, the vocabulary, the basic tendencies of its dynamics and the ways of its enrichment. Define the lexical units and the semantic relations between them. Define linguistic expressivity. Characterise phraseological and idiomatic formations. Define the basic lexicographical techniques. Apply knowledge in the analysis of the lexico-semantic level in patients with impaired communication skills.
