Course objectives
The course is focused on history of the Czech language between 1620 and 1775, its main aim being to understand the elementary processes that took place at all levels of Czech and to their influence on the language standard – i.e. in the language of written communication in texts with higher communicative purposes. At the end of the course students will be able to understand and explain stylistic differentiation of Baroque Czech, to interpret the language of the individual baroque texts (the work with them is focused on in the course). Other topics include social basis of Baroque Czech, cultivation of language, the development of language in the Czech lands and in exile (including the specific Slovak centre).
