Overview

The goal is to recognize and understand the diachronic development of languages, primarily Indo-European; to understand structures and trajectories, on which these structures are changing and to acquaint the basic language facts and methodology.

The goals of the study are:

to acquaint the basic typological and structural properties of the language systems of the old Indo-European languages;
to acquaint the needed methodology of the diachronic description of languages;
to apply these methods to analyse a concrete problem (the subject of the Ph.D. thesis)

The Comparative Indo-European Linguistics program at Masaryk University is a possible superstructure either for the M.A. program "General linguistics" (of the same department) or any other concrete philology of a given IE language.

The students follow an individual study plan, framed up by their supervisor and oriented toward a concrete methodological development and linguistic analysis. The study is single-subject only.
