Abstract

The aim of the course is to understand main laws in the development of both  phonological and morphological levels of Czech language and to gain ability to reconstruct stages of development of phonological and morphological phenomena during the one thousand years of existence of Czech. The special focus is on linking earlier stages of development with contemporary Czech, as the knowledge of earlier stages will help students to understand better and to explain better the present-day situation of Czech, especially with regard to its irregularities and exceptions (e.g. alterations or morphological doublets).

Learning outcomes

Having participated in the course, students will be able:
to characterize the development of the Czech phonological system from 10th to the end of the 16th century;
to characterize the development of the Czech morphological system (especially Czech declension and conjugation);
to get orientation in basic literature of the field.

Key topics

1. The elementary terms: Old Czech, stages of its development. 2. Searching in Old Czech dictionaries. 3. Transliteration and transcription. 4. Development of the phonological system from the 10th century to the present day. 5. System of Old Czech declension - nouns. 6. and its development to the present day. 7. System of Old Czech declension - adjectives, pronouns, numerals. 8. and its development to the present day. 9. Verbal system in Old Czech. 10. Its development to the present day. 11. The systems of Czech orthography.
