Abstract
There are a number of coincidences in Stefan M. Newerkla’s life that led him to study Czech. He became one of the youngest professors in the linguistics of West Slavonic languages at the Institute of Slavonic Studies of the University of Vienna, where he is still active today. He has been in close contact with the Czech Academy of Sciences since 2013 as an external member of the Scientific Council of the Czech Academy of Sciences. He is one of a handful of foreign evaluators who conducted interviews in Czech at evaluation of the workplaces of the Academy of Sciences in 2015. “For me, Czech is mainly about finding home,” he says.
