Dictionary of the Prague School of Linguistics PDF
by Vachek Josef Vachek
Edited by Duskova Libuse Duskova
Part of the Studies in Functional and Structural Linguistics series
Description
This is the first English version of a text out of print for more than 40 years, summarising the positions and key concepts of an influential stream of linguistic thought.
Using quotations as entries, J. Vachek (1909-1997), a leading advocate of the Prague School, employed more than 160 sources, papers and monographs, by well over 30 representatives of the school (Mathesius, Trnka, Skalička, Danes, Dokulil, Mukařovsky, Jakobson, Trubetzkoy, Isachenko, and others).
The dictionary both captures the pioneering efforts and achievements of the school from its foundation in 1926, and provides a framework for assessing the current state of affairs, attesting to its originality and serving as a preventive to treading paths already explored.
The headword concepts are provided with French, German and Czech equivalents and Vachek's original preface is supplemented by a foreword which traces the development of the school up to the present date and puts it into perspective.
