Study plan

The state final examination in the field of general linguistics is oral. It consists of three topics: in the first part, the general theoretical knowledge of the linguistics methodology is determined, in the second part the student demonstrates the ability to apply the appropriate methodological framework on the spot, in the third part, the student demonstrates the appropriate solution of the pre-specified problem.

The curriculum is divided into three parts: (i) compulsory, including specialization subjects (Critical work with data I, II: CJDSL002, LgDEA10, Experimental syntax and semantics LgDEA09), but also classical doctoral seminars (Doctoral Seminar I- LgDEA01-LgDEA03). In addition, the student has to participate at a Foreign Conference (LgDEA13) and further publish an article abroad (LgDEA15), another obligatory course is LgDEA18 Methodology of Formal Linguistics and LgDEA16 Foreign Semester Study Study. In the obligatory-optional part (ii) there are other specialization courses (CJDSL001 Corpus linguistics, AJ32059 Use of modern technologies in the humanities, CLDS_a28 Theory of translation for the DS), in whose teaching the lecturers of ÚJABL participate with teachers of Romance, Czech literature, English and German studies. The obligatory optional part also includes Doctoral Day I, II (LgDEA19 and LgDEA20), where the PhD students will present the results of their work to a public (occasionally with the participation of foreign experts); another optional course is (LgDEB11 Publication Output: Domestic Article), as well as pedagogical activities (LgDEB10 Teaching in Doctoral Studies - Practice). In addition, PhD students choose at least one foreign language course (CJV_D_A, CJVAST and LgDEA21 English for Doctoral Studies, English for Study and Internship Abroad and Foreign Language (DS) - a publication and a paper). The individual study plan, in particular within the doctoral seminar, ensures the co-operation of the doctoral student with the supervisor for the realization of doctoral work. Subjects directly related to the completion of studies are Theses (LgDEA12) and Doctoral theses (LgDEA11). Compulsory subjects have a total credit grant of 167 credits, obligatory optional 235.
