Edited by Bohumil Vykypěl

In this year we remember the 130th birthday of Vilém Mathesius. Although one cannot say that Mathesius is unknown and that few texts were written about him, his life and work is still waiting for a truly analytic-critical monographic treatise. The main purpose of the present volume is to remember the personality of Vilém Mathesius and the need for a big monograph about him.
