Course objectives
This subject includes lexicology (about Czech vocabulary and its classification) and word forming in Czech language. In the lexicology the students study the structure of Czech vocabulary, its classification and the tendency of the development of the Czech vocabulary, the loanwords in the Czech vocabulary. Theoretical knowledge is applied in the work in the seminary during the text analysis. The word forming presupposes knowledge of the basic terminology and methods of formation of the word in the contemporary Czech: suffix, prefix, basic part of the word. In the end of the course the students will be able to:
- make analysis of the word meaning and word structure, class the word in the level of vocabulary;
- make analysis of word-formation and word-building of the word (foundation word, formant);
- recognize correctly or non-correctly built (formed) word.
