Course objectives
The course places lexicology into other linguistic disciplines and also pays its attention to the connections with the logic, philosophy and cognitive psychology. Students will be acquainted with traditions and modern methods of research in this field of science. The course focuses especially on lexical semantics. Lexical onomasiology is studied only marginally (in compatibility to the special course focusing on word formation). Part of the course is devoted to the traditions and the present of Czech lexicography. The aim is to provide the basic outline of Czech and foreign lexicology, teach them how to research this field using different approaches and theories. During the course a wide spectrum of Czech dictionaries will be introduced and its efficient use in practice. Lastly the course helps foreigners to develop their language competency.
