The present article reflects basic questions, problems and findings of the historiography of linguistics on the background of historiography of science. The first part deals with the reasons and motivations for such activity and presents some general information about the history, development and contemporary state of the historiography and metahistoriography of linguistics and their relevance. The second part articulates some methodological postulates for work in the field of linguistic historiography. The third part consists of an evaluation of Cerny's Dejiny lingvistiky and Kapitoly z dejin ceske jazykovedne bohemistiky by Pleskalova, Krcmova, Vecerka & Karlik against the background of the previous parts. The critique of the books in question should open debate on the state of Czech linguistic historiography and its awareness of international research trends and findings.

Historian of science, which is derived from the scientific discipline research, which examines the history, not always clearly perceived abroad between a professional historical research on the history of science tradition and practice of environmental, useful for building group identity or prestige of this community. The historian of science often makes no distinction between the historical studies on the history of science and the realization of the cultural needs of professional backgrounds, from which he derives. Both forms of dialogue with the past, however, have different objectives. This phenomenon has a long tradition, and its consequence is often shaping historiographical myth in the historiography of science. Training methodologies and historiographical historian of science is often limited to self-selective. I do not know often that not every form of dialogue with the past is a professional practice of historiography of science. Many historians of science practiced all sorts of different forms of dialogue with the past. They do so for various reasons. An important aspect of group traditions, monumental figures of the past as models for his successors teaching, anniversaries of people and institutions.

This paper is about the monograph on the Slovak village Cerovo, published in 1906 by Karel Chotek, the first professor of ethnography at the Comenius University in Bratislava and the pioneer of qualitative field research in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and later in Czechoslovakia. Following Lubor Niederle’s demographical data published in the map of the Slovak community living in Hungary, Cerovo, a village in the Hont region, shows Chotek’s first attempt to cover the set of questions related to the monograph’s focus on people in their cultural setting via field research and direct experience. Though still partly immersed in stereotypes related to Czech utilitarian conceptualisation of Slovak collective identity, Chotek’s monograph shows the first step on the way to an ambitious serial (though mostly unfulfilled) project of regional monographs, known as Národopis lidu českoslovanského (The Ethnography of Czechoslavic People, 1918–1940). In the early 1950s, working already as a professor of Slavic and general ethnography at the Charles University in Prague since 1931, Chotek returned to Cerovo with an idea of a new, comparative and reconceptualised focus on the same settlement as a half century before. Even though he did not succeed in completing this new monograph, his experience inspired a number of students at the Charles University, who later pursued Chotek’s field research inspiration as important figures of Czech and Slovak ethnography during the rest of the 20thcentury (the so-called “Chotek school”). Besides rethinking the events related to the Czecho-Slovak relationship in the formative decade of professional scientific ethnography in Czech lands before World War I and, last but not least, analysing the so far unknown context of Chotek’s second expedition to Cerovo in 1953,the picture of Chotek developing his field research method from a descriptive analysis to a more structured circle of special questions/issues in the 1950s is an attempt to capture some of the methodological changes Czechoslovak ethnography went through during the first half of the 20thcentury.
