Language and pedagogic edition in Bohemia in the time of Maria-Theresa reform. Back to a big question et small books
Madl, Claire
Before language entered the program of national movement in Bohemia, it was at the core of pedagogical publishing. The issue of the language first revealed a contradiction between two leading principles of the Maria-Theresa’s reform aiming at a diffusion of literacy: the necessity to adapt to pupils on the one hand, the effort to reach out uniformization of schooling on the other hand. Publishing textbooks in Czech became then an economic issue that fostered rivalries between local (Bohemian) actors and central authorities who thrived for a strict centralized publishing and decision making. Finally, printing and publishing school books in Czech led their author to attempt a first normalisation of the transcription of Czech language, far before linguists were forced to do so.
