Kurz je koncipován jako možné pokračování předmětu Dějiny anglického jazyka (přednáška a seminář v bakalářském studiu).
Smyslem semináře je prohloubit znalost jednak funkcí a forem historické angličtiny, jednak principů jazykové změn, a to za pomoci prezentací relevantní lingvistické literatury, textových analýz a cvičení se zaměřením na témata slovotvorná, syntaktická, lexikálně-sémantická a sociolingvistická.
Kurzy “Anglická historická lingvistika A” a “Anglická historická lingvistika B” jsou metodologicky i tematicky provázány (jeden se zaměřuje na strukturní, druhý na sociolingvistické aspekty jazykové změny v dějinách angličtiny), ale ani jeden nepředstavuje prerekvizitu pro druhý.
Poslední úprava: Čermák Jan, prof. PhDr., CSc. (19.09.2024)
The two-semester course is designed as an expansion on the B.A. level lecture and seminar on the history of English (History of English I).
Presentations of relevant linguistic essays, text analyses and exercises related to a variety of topics in English historical word-formation, syntax, lexical history and sociolinguistics will help the student develop a deeper understanding of the major historical forces shaping the development of English.
N.B. Courses in "English Historical Linguistics A" and "English Historical Linguistics B" work in conjunction, focusing on structural and sociolinguistic aspects of language change, respectively, but neither is to be considered a prerequisite for the other one.
