This paper investigates the way two features of the study of literary language by the Prague Linguistic Circle were anticipated in the work of a seventeenth-century Hungarian preacher, Pál Medgyesi. Those two features concern the polifunctionalism and concomitant differentiation of linguistic means, as well as what can be called intellectualisation, i.e., the elaboration of mainly lexical and syntactic devices that make language appropriate for representing higher levels of abstraction and a possibly most exact expression of the logical process of thinking. Going through a number of phenomena clustering around those two concepts, the author emphasises that Medgyesi had expressed the most important terms of Ramus' logic in Hungarian well before Apáczai, and was the first to construct the rhetoric of prayers and sermons, thus initiating the emergence of the Hungarian special terminology and rhetoric of the field and contributed to the development of Hungarian scholarly prose.

The author analyzes the varying influence of the newer ideas of the Circle in the Czech lands and in Slovakia. He claims that the main difference between this influence in these two areas lies in the fact that the Czech linguistic tradition was very well established after World War II and new ideas of structuralism were adopted there in an atmosphere of orientation to Anglo-Saxon culture. Slovak linguistics, on the other hand, had to start from the beginning and the Prague Linguistic Circle played a significant role in the development of Slovak linguistic science as well, delineating Slovak as a separate language from Czech.

The Prague Linguistic Circle was founded over 80 years ago. Its merit is to define the language as a structure, as well as structuralism as a method of research, which continues to be the most important theory of linguistic, literary and aesthetic. The author focuses on the history of structuralism in Scandinavia and its impact on Europe and the United States in the interwar period and during the Second World War, as well as describes the Czech structuralism in Scandinavia after World War II. The key figure in the relationship between the Prague school of structural linguistics and Nordic is undeniably Roman Jakobson. His influence – as well as his colleagues – is most evident in the case of Danish scholars and Linguistic Circle of Copenhagen. But there he argues that the Czech structuralism and functional linguistics dominate the Scandinavian linguistics to the present day, although in some cases, their influence continues to give noticeable results of research.

Based on the generally recognized close relationship between functional sentence perspective (FSP) and semantics, this paper concentrates on the treatment of the semantic component of this relationship in the works of Vilem Mathesius, Bohumil Trnka and members of the Brno school. While Mathesius laid the foundations of the theory, Trnka touched upon it only in a general outline. A detailed elaboration of the semantic aspect has been presented within his theoretical framework by Jan Firbas, who treats the relationship of FSP to semantics in terms of a dual semantics, static and dynamic. In the works of his colleagues and followers, this approach has been extended to more complex structures, and accordingly somewhat modified. This paper draws attention to the question of whether the specific FSP semantics entirely cancels differing sentence semantics or whether the latter still plays a role and the two can be brought into agreement.

The article attempts to portray the life and work of Pavel Trost, the oldest among the first generation of the distinguished disciples of the Prague Linguistic Circle, as a linguist, literary scholar, university professor and philologist. Surveying the principal areas of Trost’s academic interest – German and Baltic philology, historical linguistics, onomatology, contact linguistics, stylistics, etymology, German and Czech medieval literature –, as well as his method, style and major achievements, the portrayal presents Trost’s scholarly programme as one based on what might be characterized as holistic philology, guided by, and drawing upon, what Trost himself described as “the great unifying power of language”.

The paper briefly outlines the life and work of Julie Nováková (1909–1991), the first Czech woman to lecture in the Prague Linguistic Circle. She recently published the lectures that she originally gave in the PLC at Palacký University in Olomouc (1948–1961) as an associate professor of ancient history. After the dissolution of the department, she moved to the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, where she was employed (1961–1973) in the department for the study of the works of Jan Amos Komenský. There she reached the peak of her career, publishing outstanding editions, educating a new generation of scholars, and deciphering the autograph of Komenský’s Clamores Eliae. She mentioned the PLC in the manuscript of her Memoirs.

This article examines contributions by individual members of the Prague Linguistic Circle to the 'Ottuv slovnik naucny nove doby' (Otto's Encyclopedia of the New Era), published in 1930-1943. The encyclopedia was a very prestigious project at the time, so the participation of as many as 36 members of the Prague Linguistic Circle should not be considered too surprising. Offering a survey of the individual contributions with regard to whether they later became part of the contributors' published bibliographies, this article further demonstrates that at least a part of the entries in the encyclopedia by the members of the Circle, including some of the most prominent (Jakobson, Wellek, Mukarovsky and others), has thus far gone unnoticed. It also briefly assesses the contributions to the encyclopedia by several leading cultural figures of the time.

The Prague Linguistic Circle developed from a free platform for discussions into a well organized group of scholars sharing certain basic principles. The School's teaching consisted in the integration of three complementary concepts: structure, function, and sign (cf. P. Steiner, 1976). This paper discusses the implementation of these concepts by the Prague linguists, mainly the central members of the Circle (Mathesius, Jakobson, Trnka, Havranek, Karcevskij, Mukarovsky). Because the members of the group were distinct individuals, their implementation of these principles showed a great variety of opinion. Specific differences may be found on the horizontal axis (between individuals or groupings) as well as on the vertical one (evolution of common principles or the opinions of individuals). This paper deals with opinion divergences in: 1. the treatment of the notion of functionalism (the sophisticated teleological treatment by R. Jakobson vs. the common-sense one by V. Mathesius), 2. the approach to the phenomenon of Standard Language (rather rationalistically by B. Havranek et al. vs. V. Mathesius' view of language 'as a living organism' and emphasis on the expressive and emotional functions), 3. the apprehension and evaluation of artistic literature (J. Mukarovsky's highly sophisticated and abstract aesthetic conception vs. V. Mathesius's humanistic and moralizing view).
