Project OVERMODE – Origins of the Vernacular Mode

Pavlína Rychterová of the ASCR’s Institute of Philosophy has recently received the prestigious ERC Starting Grant for her project “Origins of the Vernacular Mode.” The main focus of the project will be comparing mediaeval texts written in three languages, Latin, Czech and German. The expected benefit of the project is to evaluate knowledge concerning the origin and formation of national and language cultural identities in Central Europe.
