The main topic of the present volume is the Prague School. The general text
by Bohumil Vykypěl asks "What is the Prague School?" In an appendix,
answers to this question by prominent contemporary linguists (Aikhenvald,
Blevins, Booij, Bybee, Comrie, Dressler, Du Bois, Fortescue, Givón, Haiman,
Harder, Haspelmath, Heine, Hopper, Langacker, Lehmann, Matthiesen, Mel’čuk,
Moravcsik, Newmeyer, Noonan, Plank, Polinsky, Postal, Ramat, Thomason, Van
Valin, Wälchli, Wierzbicka) are published. Ondřej Sládek treats the
activity of the representatives of the Prague theory of literature and art
in exile ("The Prague School in the United States"). Vít Boček deals with
the relationship of Eugenio Coseriu and the Prague typology ("Einige
Bemerkungen zur Prager Typologie und der integralen Typologie"). Ivo
Vasiljev has applied the Prague typology to description of Vietnamese ("The
type of Vietnamese"). Taťána Vykypělová treats, from the point of view of
the Prague phonology, the problem of syllabic liquids ("Zu den
silbenbildenden Liquiden in den slawischen Sprachen"). Lenka Zajícová
investigates the contact of Czech and Spanish in Paraguay ("Grammatical
changes in Czech spoken by the immigrant community in Paraguay: first
examples"). Finally, unpublished letters of Roman Jakobson to his first
wife are edited by Pavlína Kuldanová.
