The aim of this course is to prepare the conceptual ground for further in-depth study of individual linguistic disciplines and mainly to promote a more responsive and responsible approach to language as such. The general and universal features of language will be studied, as well as its development, typology and classification with focus on the position of English among Indo-European languages. Within the framework of English, the individual language levels and their interconnectedness will be explored (phonetico-phonological, morphological, lexical, semantic, syntactic, pragmatic and stylistic).

Cílem kurzu je připravit studenty na další podrobnější studium jednotlivých lingvistických disciplín a především podpořit aktivnější a citlivější přístup k jazyku jako takovému. Předmětem zájmu budou obecné a univerzální rysy jazyka spolu s jeho vývojem, typologií a klasifikací se zaměřením na pozici angličtiny mezi Indo-Evropskými jazyky. V širším kontextu angličtiny budou zkoumány jednotlivé jazykové roviny a jejich spojitost.
