Course objectives
The aim of the course is on the one hand to acquire the systematic knowledge of the first conceptions of the language realized by ancient Greeks and Romans and of the reflexes of their knowledge in the sphere of modern linguistics; on the other hand, the students will acquire the knowledge of how the ancient languages, Greek and Latin, playing the substantial part in the origin and development of the European culture, participated in the evolution of particular Slavonic languages. The students will be well informed about the extent of historical influence of the ancient languages in individual levels of Slavonic languages.
