Luděk Hřebíček

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luděk Hřebíček (born June 9, 1934 in Prague ; † December 29, 2015 ) studied Persian and Turkish at the Charles University in Prague (completed in 1958), doctorate in 1963, degree of D.Sc. 1992 (corresponds to a habilitation ). He was a long-time employee of the Oriental Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

Research priorities

Initially, Hřebíček's scientific interests were in literature, and he used quantitative methods to investigate verse and style. Later he turned increasingly to linguistic topics, including language typology and Turkish syntax. For about 30 years, modern quantitative linguistics has been his main field of work. Using the example of Turkish texts, he succeeded in showing that Menzerath's law structures the linguistic levels from the largest to the smallest units. He has also developed a model for the distribution of coherence features in texts and checked it on Turkish texts. The so-called Hrebs are named after Hřebíček , units on the sentence level (sentence aggregates: sentences that contain the same words) and on other levels (units with the same denotation ), which are subject to the laws of distribution of units of different complexity.
