Kdybych chtěla psát bakalářku na lingvistiku (což fakt nechci) tak by to byla asi fajn pomoc tohle. Je to napsáno srozumitelně a zbytečně to neokecávají nějakou historií okolo, jak mají ve zvyku někdy. A není to ultra dlouhé, takže na lingvistiku asi dobré.

Nevím proč to máme povinné, když většina oboru chce psát literární práci no🤷‍♀️třeba aspoň dám ten zápočet😂

a lot of interesting project ideas, and also just a lot of great information concerning linguistics and language studies in general (which should be obvious with the name of the book) but I did not really enjoy reading it.
