| Description | Classism became a much discussed theme within the Czech National Revival movement. Jungmann’s paper on Classicism was hence not written within the purely academic discourse but as a resolute stand against Nejedlý, who critically rejected the lexical and orthographic innovations brought into the Czech language and literature by Jungmann’s circle. We will focus first on the Jungmann’s paper and the orthographic argument between Jungmann and Nejedlý and next the role which the card of Classicism was played within it. |
