Studies in Functional Stylistics
The 15 contributions in the present collection can be divided roughly into three groups: (1) Papers directly following up functional stylistics and the theory of language culture, elaborated in the classical period of the Prague Linguistic School. (2) Papers concerning the problems of style in a wider communicative arena. These contributions are closely related to contemporary text linguistics and also deal with problems involving psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics and semiotics. (3) Papers having, at least in some part, a pronounced historiographic character. These contributions reflect the fact that contemporary Czech linguistic research is firmly anchored in the Prague linguistic tradition. Although the authors' frame of reference is mainly Czech and the current language situation in the Czech Republic, the majority of contributions were intended to have a more general linguistic character and general linguistic validity.
Rethinking Dvořák
The 24 essays offer penetrating insights into Dvorak's personality, his place in history, and the sheer beauty of his music. How this music was received and appreciated is a subject of special focus, offering explanations as to why, despite the composer's popularity, some of his greatest compositions have remained unknown.
Praguiana
Contains key papers by the founders of the Prague School; including Vilém Mathesius famous article Functional Linguistics (1929), the theses presented at the First Congress of Slavists in Prague (1929), an earlier paper by Mathesius On the potentiality of the phenomena of language (1911), Jan Mukarovský's Standard language and poetic language (1932) and other historical contributions by B. Havránek, V. Skalicka, and B. Trnka.
The Lost Tradition of Dvorák's Operas
The Lost Tradition of Dvořák’s Operas: Myth, Music, and Nationalism examines Antonín Dvořák’s operas, specifically Jakobín and Rusalka, from a critical standpoint, focusing on such criteria as tonal structures, thematic material and motives, subject matter, Czech folklore and musical influences, textual language, nationalism, characters, compositional history, performance history, and reception. The intent of this research is to vindicate and validate Dvořák as an opera composer; to show him to be an overlooked master in Nineteenth Century opera and the bridge between the Verdi and Wagner traditions. Now, well over one hundred years after his death, it is now time for Dvořák to take his rightful place in the operatic echelon.
