Podoby a proměny města ve slovanských a vybraných neslovanských kulturách, literaturách a jazycích

"This publication is the result of result of research by a young collective (professional staff and doctoral and non-doctoral students) from the Department of Slavonic Studies at Masaryk University's Faculty of Arts. Its component chapters provide studies on the broadly-defined topic of the urban space in all three zones of the Slavic region--East-Slavic, West Slavic (Central European), and South Slavic (Balkan-Slavic)--with some carryover into the non-Slavic Balkan environment. The whole publication is based on the area concept, which consists mainly in stepping beyond the conventional borders of traditional philology and creating room for intertwining of philological and social sciences. The individual surveys analyze phenomena traditionally covered by linguistics, language teaching theory, history, religious studies, and literary science."--page 145.
