TEST 4
Concluding discussion.
Kurz je koncipován jako možné pokračování předmětu Dějiny anglického jazyka (přednáška a seminář v bakalářském studiu).
Smyslem semináře je prohloubit znalost jednak funkcí a forem historické angličtiny, jednak principů jazykové změn, a to za pomoci prezentací relevantních lingvistické literatur, textových analýz a cvičení se zaměřením na témata slovotvorná, syntaktická, lexikálně-sémantická a sociolingvistická.
Prerekvizity:
Dějiny anglického jazyka I, II základní znalost češtiny, staré a střední angličtiny
Pozn. Kurzy “Anglická historická lingvistika A” a “Anglická historická lingvistika B” jsou metodologicky i tematicky provázány (jeden se zaměřuje na strukturní, druhý na sociolingvistické aspekty jazykové změny v dějinách angličtiny), ale ani jeden nepředstavuje prerekvizitu pro druhý.
