Anotace

Poslední úprava: Mgr. Tamah Sherman, Ph.D. (13.08.2016)

The course presents Language Management Theory (LMT), the main aim of which is to capture the "behavior" toward language and communication on the part of individuals, groups and entire societies. The basic features and concepts of the theory will be discussed in relation to various areas and domains of language use. The basis for discussion will be readings and student presentations, complemented by short lectures by the instructors and guests.

The readings will be made available via Moodle.
The course description in Moodle will be gradually updated (dl1.cuni.cz Filozofická fakulta  Ústav obecné lingvistiky  Language Management)
