Anotace
THIS CODE WAS CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR ERASMUS STUDENTS. If you are an exchange student and you need a grade for this course, you should sign up for this code.
For more information about the course, click on the link next to "Is provided by" above.
Kurz je koncipován jako možné pokračování předmětu Dějiny anglického jazyka (přednáška a seminář v bakalářském studio).
Smyslem semináře je prohloubit znalost jednak funkcí a forem historické angličtiny, jednak principů jazykové změny, a to za pomoci prezentací relevantních lingvistické literatury, 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.
