- to explain the development of elementary categories and types relating to word-formation,
- to explain the development of elementary syntactic objects and constructions (the development of participial and infinitive constructions the development of expressing modalities of possibility and necessity , the development of negation in sentences, origins and development of complex and compound sentences, origins and development of conjunctions, origins and development of negative sentences etc.),
- to transcribe a transliterate a 14th ct. Old Czech text
