CZECH STUDIES: LANGUAGE SLAVONIC LANGUAGES* I. CZECH STUDIESl LANGUAGE By DAVID SHORT, Lecturer in Czech and Slovak, School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University of London (This survey covers the years 1980 and 1981) INTRODUCTION The Prague School of linguistics may no longer be alive as a monolithic entity, but the tradition of high standards in linguistic enquiry is still alive, rather in contrast with the situation in literary criticism.
