Course objectives
A purpose of the subject is to introduce students in literary Russian, focused on a linguistic content. A special stress is put on linguistic terminology, i.e. on the grammatical terms, but also on the names of languages, dialects and language groups, and their usual Czech equivalents. In the same time the grammatical analysis of individual words and syntactic analysis of clauses is realized in a synchronic confrontation with their Czech equivalents.
