Description
In recent years, empirical methods have become increasingly important in the study of language. Linguistic fields as diverse as lexicography, grammatical research, linguistic typology, speech technology, and discourse analysis profit from the growing body of linguistic data and advances in the technology to analyze it. This has enabled scholars both to state new research questions and to reconsider common opinions on a new scale.
Against this background, the Jena-based workshop Czech in empircal and comparative perspectives places the Czech language and its empirical study at the centre of its interest. Together, we enquire Czech both from a monolingual and a comparative perspective, approach synchronic and diachronic research questions, and take a look into diverse linguistic subfields.
