| Description | This book presents a selection of several articles that characterize the main strands of linguistic thinking of Czech functionalists, particularly with respect to the English language. The book opens with an essay that establishes the historical context, outlines the conceptual framework of the Czech functional-structuralist tradition, and brings a critical reflection of the legacy of Prague School functionalism, as it emerged in the 1920s and 1930s. The book includes chapters written by Bohuslav Havránek, Jan Mukařovský, Josef Vachek, Vilém Mathesius and Jan Firbas. |
