Annotation

Last update: PhDr. Barbora Štindlová, Ph.D. (25.02.2024)

In this seminar, we will examine specific phenomena of the Czech language, especially in the areas of morphology and syntax, with implications extending into other linguistic levels. Our focus will be on those linguistic features that often pose a challenge to non-native speakers of Czech.
The seminar will be held in both English and Czech. Participants are expected to have at least an A2+ level of Czech according to the CEFR.

Aim of the course

Last update: Mgr. Karolína Nováková (22.02.2024)

The aim of the course is to deepen and consolidate the understanding of selected linguistic phenomena and to provide the students an insight into how these phenomena are integrated into the structure of the Czech language.
