Methods to analyse literary texts on the basis of isotopies.The method consist of a constrastive analysis of two literary texts written by Franz Kafka.The results of the analysis are evaluated against the background of the way literary text function in contrast to non-literary texts.In this way the status of methods of analysis and their results will be elucidated on the level of literary theory and science theory.The results of the own project will be compared critically with the international research literature and research tradition around the analysed texts.
