The aim of this volume is to witness how the activities of the Prague School have continued to bring important new insights and discussions between the 1940s and the present time. Contributions are included which have escaped attention on an international scale because they were published in Czech; several papers have been written especially for this volume. the contributions cover various domains: syntax, morphology, sociolinguistics, graphemics, the language system, the lexicon, and contrastive linguistics. Contributions by: E. Pauliny, M. Dokulil and F Dane, R. Trost, V. Skalicka, J. Ruzicka, F. Miko, O. Leska, J. Vachek, J. Horeck}, V. Blanar, P. Sgall, V. Barnet, V. Barnetova.
