The monograph focuses on the typological differences between the four most widely spoken Romance languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian) and Czech. Utilizing data from InterCorp, the ...parallel corpus project of the Czech National Corpus, the book analyses various categories (expression of potential non-volitional participation, iterativity, causation, beginning of an action and adverbial subordination) to discover differences and similarities between Czech and the Romance languages. Due to the massive amount of data mined, as well as the high number of languages examined, the monograph presents general and individual typological features of the four Romance languages and Czech that often exceed what has previously been accepted in the field of comparative linguistics.
Soutenu par l'Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF), a laquelle l'Université Charles de Prague a adhéré en décembre 2015, le Forum a associé a ses travaux de nombreux partenaires de la ...francophonie universitaire : l'agence tcheque de formation continue des enseignants (NIDV), la Fédération Internationale des Professeurs de Français (FIPF), Campus France République tcheque, le Centre de langue française de la Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Paris Ile-de-France (CCIP), l'Université d'Artois, le Centre de linguistique appliquée de l'Université de Franche-Comté, et IBM Brno, qui développe en République tcheque les certifications DELF Pro et DFP, mais aussi les éditions CLE INTERNATIONAL. Ainsi, cette rencontre universitaire était également ouverte aux enseignants de l'enseignement secondaire, auxquels a été proposée une formation spécifique qui leur a permis de suivre des conférences données par des chercheurs et des ateliers pédagogiques animés par le professeur Jean-Marc Mangiante (Université d'Artois), M. Alexandre Holle, responsable du Pôle Innovation au Centre de langue française de la CCIP, et Mme Sylvie Prokešová, en charge de l'enseignement du français langue professionnelle aux salariés d'IBM Brno (République tcheque). Dans les cours destinés aux étudiants internationaux en sciences de gestion de l'Institut d'Administration des Entreprises de Lyon, l'auteur, Zsuzsa Kis, vise a préparer les étudiants au monde professionnel et a la réalisation réussie du stage en entreprise. L'auteur de l'article, Iveta Rizekova, considere que la promotion de la possibilité de séjour au sein d'une université francophone est en outre un des moyens de la promotion des filieres universitaires francophones en Slovaquie, ou le français doit faire face a une forte concurrence de l'anglais.
The study describes the context of foreign language teaching in the Czech Republic over the last ten years. Special interest is given to the area of teaching second foreign languages (FL2). The aim ...is to show to what extent the intentions of the Czech state in this area serve as a possible vector for implementing the ideas of the European Union and the Council of Europe in language policy and, on the contrary, how they may pose a threat to those ideas. The text includes statistical data, analyses of risks and opportunities, and expert suggestions for future language policy solutions.
Multilingual corpora strongly changed the research paradigm in contrastive studies, making it possible to base the contrastive statements not only on intuition but on large corpus data. As pointed ...out by Altenberg – Granger (2002, 7), bilingual and multilingual corpora have brought about a revival of interest in contrastive linguistics, since they opened up new possibilities of research, based on empirical data. According to these authors, “the information gained from corpora is both richer and more reliable than that derived from introspection” (ibid.).
Specific methods and approaches subsequently developed, e.g. bi-directional analysis (‘Johansson’s procedure’, see Johansson 2007) or the use
The present monograph is the result of a long-term project, which started in 2013 when an investigation group was formed by experienced teachers (Petr Čermák, Pavel Štichauer, Jan Hricsina, Jaroslava ...Jindrová, Zuzana Krinková, Olga Nádvorníková), and their Ph.D. (MA, in one case) students (Leontýna Bratánková, Štěpánka Černikovská, Jiří Jančík, Dana Kratochvílová, Petra Laufková, Daniel Petrík, Eliška Třísková) from the Department of Romance Studies at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University. The objective of the investigation group was to explore the possible usage of the parallel corpus InterCorp (created by the Institute of the Czech National Corpus at the very
