Émile Benveniste and the role of sens
Krásová, Eva ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Pešek, Ondřej Matthew (referee) ; Fulka, Josef (referee)
Eva Krásová: Émile Benveniste and the role of sens My thesis "Émile Benveniste and the role of sens" is a monographic study of the life work of Émile Benveniste (1902-1977) through the role that the concept of meaning (sens) takes in his thought. I adopt the methodology defined by K. Kœrner as "historiography of language sciences", and thus my perspective on Benveniste's work is mainly chronological and developmental. First part of the thesis concentrates on theoretical foundations of Benveniste's thought in the school of Paris (A. Meillet and M. Bréal), Prague (R. Jakobson and V. Skalička) and Copenhagen (texts around 1939). I point out the concept of language system in diachrony in A. Meillet's thinking and in Prague school and present a hypothesis about the role of Émile Bneveniste in their contact during the International congresses of linguists. This results into a description of the perspective of meaning as it was presented in Benveniste's 1962 lecture "Levels of linguistic analysis". Second part deals with Benveniste's concept linguistics of discours. First chapter explains the main concepts of Benveniste's theory of language: semiotics and semantics or the semiotical and the semantical (le/la sémiotique, sémantique), enunciation (énonciation), appropriation (appropriation) and the theory...

Reception of the work of Ferdinand de Saussure in the literary criticism of the Prague linguistic circle.
PROCHÁZKOVÁ, Iveta
This bachelor thesis called Reception of the work of Ferdinand de Saussure in the literary criticism of the Prague linguistic circle deals with F. de Saussure's basic linguistic thesis and their acceptance in Prague linguistic circle. The thesis is divided into two parts: the first one explains the most important terms of F. de Saussure, the second one focuses on searching these terms in works of Roman Jakobson and Jan Mukařovský. The aim of this bachelor thesis is an analysis of the attitudes of R. Jakobson and J. Mukařovský to F. de Saussure's text - Course in General Linguistics - particularly in connection with application of some thesis to work of art.

A hundred-year battle over Mácha. Karel Hynek Mácha between the Prague Linguistic Circle and the Czechoslovak Literary Historical Society
Fořt, Bohumil
Among others, to mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Karel Hynek Mácha, two important collective works were published: Karel Hynek Mácha. Osobnost, dílo, ohlas published in 1937 by Czechoslovak Literary Historical Society and Torso a tajemství Máchova díla published in 1938 by Prague Linguistic Circle. Both organisations in the 1930's embodied certain counterparts in the field of Czech literary criticism - not only that both groups come from completely different methodological backgrounds, but they also participated in crucial scholarly and educational projects connected with access to both financial sources, as well as to a wider influence over literary critical practice. The comparison of the collective works written and set by members of both groups enable us to view the entire ideas and methods of both groups and to connect them with the influence they had over literary scholarly investigation in Czechoslovakia.

Jan Mukařovský's studies on K. H. Mácha
Sládek, Ondřej
Jan Mukařovský in his scholarly work paid consistent high attention to the work of Karel Hynek Mácha, which is incorporated in several studies and commentaries. In every new study on Mácha Mukařovský elaborated on his own previous analysis and strived for a more precise conceptual system. Mukařovský used Mácha's work especially to prove the analytical power of structuralist thought as well as the validity of its terms. The present study focuses mainly on an introduction to the most important works by Mukařovský about Mácha from the 1920s to the 1940s and also analyses the possible interrelationships between the works, especially those from 1936.
