1. Revision for participants who attended Introduction to Language Studies for Journalists, and supplementation of the competence baseline at the level of the Czech schoolleaving examination for other participants: system of linguistic disciplines; semiotic overview; issues related to understanding neutrality and markedness of expressive means in verbal communication; stylistic overview - styleme, stylistic markedness vs. unmarkedness. 2. The word as a unit of the lexicon; word vs. lexical unit; the form-content structure of the word; components of word meaning (connection to semiotics, dyadic vs. triadic models, semantic triangle); word variants; vocabulary and its composition (active vs. passive; core - periphery - transitional zone); basic classifications of vocabulary according to linguistic features; the purpose of different classification types. 3. The intersection of lexicology and stylistics; basic principles of classifying vocabulary according to stylistic markedness (colloquial words, bookish words, technical terms, journalistic expressions, poeticisms); use within journalistic style. 4. Vocabulary layers according to affiliation with nonstandard varieties of Czech (geographical differences - Common Czech, regionalisms, dialectisms; social differences - slang, argot); stylistic value, especially in journalistic style. 5. Vocabulary layers according to temporal features (archaisms, neologisms); internationalisms as means of enriching the lexicon (segmentation, origin, degree of integration into the domestic lexicon); stylistic value, especially in journalistic style. 6. Expressivity; semantic value of expressive items (connection to evaluative vocabulary); stylistic value of expressive means, especially in journalistic style; communicative potential and limits of use. 7. Morphological overview (excluding word formation): stylistic characteristics of morphological and syntagmatic means; use in journalistic style. 8. Word formation: creation of naming units through derivation (pragmatic aspect), compounding (typology of compounds, pragmatic aspect), abbreviation (typology of abbreviations, pragmatic aspect). 9. Lexical semantics: monosemous and polysemous words - polysemy (metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche); disintegrated polysemy; homonymy (pseudohomonyms, crosslinguistic homonyms, paronyms); synonymy; antonymy; stylistic applications, especially in journalistic style. 10. Multiword naming units (compound designations, collocations, phraseologisms, idioms); multiverbization; applicability in texts of various stylistic domains. 11. Basic sentence structure; sentence patterns (communicative and stylistic value of sentence types - singlemember vs. twomember; declarative, interrogative, imperative; use of singlemember and twomember sentences); value of verbal vs. nominal expression; semiclausal constructions - communicative and stylistic value; peculiarities of sentence structure; syntactic and rhetorical figures. 12. Complex sentences; syntactic relations within complex sentences - communicative and stylistic value; condensation vs. expansion of syntactic means - communicative and stylistic value. 13. The utterance - anchoring in a specific communicative situation; communicative and linguistic functions (connection to external linguistics, issues of perlocution, locution, illocution); functional sentence perspective.

Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to show the operation of means of expression levels of selected language in the process of verbal communication. Will be monitored in relation to linguistic pragmatics of lexical issues, the morphology, syntax and syntagmatiky. The various levels of language resources will be placed in the context of the theory of verbal communication and writing style. Theoretical knowledge will be practiced in the journalistic texts.
Given that the course is focused on supplementing students' knowledge in the area of the communicative value of expressive means belonging to the lower levels of language, and on their use in textsthereby strengthening students' textual and stylistic competenceit may be expected that their ability to produce texts reflecting authorial intent, while at the same time respecting the limits imposed by objective stylistic factors, will be enhanced.
