The study strives to represent a connected system of semantic construction proposed by Prague structuralism, and mainly by Felix Vodicka. This system was never presented in a form of a single study, but its suggestions are scattered in various studies that deal with the questions of semantic construction and questions of the literary work's identity. Prague structuralism in the form of Vodicka's or Mukarovsky's suggestions did not strive for the presentation of an integral system (such as that proposed by Roman Ingarden), because the need was not felt to make such statements, nor did the contemporary literary theory aim yet to similar designating projects. Still this complex system of structural semantic construction of the work was an enduring part of the studies that were arising in the 30's and 40's, it had recognizable, rather solid and stable outlines and rules, and de facto it represents a methodological resource for the structural analysis of a literary work. In this form, it is possible to consider it one of the essential contributions of the Prague school not only to the Czech literary theory. This study attempts at proving incorrect the traditional apprehension that the Prague structuralism did not present a sustained system of semantic construction, and obversely, to prove that such a system did exist and was a conscious part of the Czech structuralists' works, and it only was not proclaimed.

This paper considers the structure of history as conceived by the Prague School, seeks to show the evolution of the conception, and stresses that ways in which it may be useful in the current theoretical discussion on historiography. Its central concept is sense and the way in which sense is determined. It views sense as a structural category, and therefore focuses on how sense is generated. This question is therefore of key importance, whether sense is understood as intentionality, potentiality, or eventuality. In this context, the Prague School also considers the frequently reiterated view that to understand the sense of an event (for example, a battle, the French Revolution, or Dumas's Three Musketeers), it is necessary to activate the original context, which the given event is the product of. But is this context accessible to us? And in what form, then, is the sense of the event accessible to us? With this discovery, part of modern historiography tends to be sceptical about what man can know: 'the history we write is always, without exception, invented'. But is it not sense itself, as a structural category, which could lead us out of this scepticism? It clearly, however, must be the kind of sense whose structure is capable of conceiving both intention and chance. To what context, then, does sense belong?
