Abstract:

This is the first English version of a text out of print for more than
40 years, summarising the positions and key concepts of an influential
stream of linguistic thought. Using quotations as entries, J. Vachek
(1909-1997), a leading advocate of the Prague School, employed more
than 160 sources, papers and monographs, by well over 30
representatives of the school (Mathesius, Trnka, Skalika, Dane,
Dokulil, Mukaovský, Jakobson, Trubetzkoy, Isachenko, and others). The
dictionary both captures the pioneering efforts and achievements of
the school from its foundation in 1926, and provides a framework for
assessing the current state of affairs, attesting to its originality
and serving as a preventive to treading paths already explored. The
headword concepts are provided with French, German and Czech
equivalents and Vachek's original preface is supplemented by a
foreword which traces the development of the school up to the present
date and puts it into perspective.
