This paper aims at a new reconsideration of the pro-drop theory, focusing on the properties and requirements of language economy principles, whose satisfaction constitutes the central point of the Minimalist program (MP). Starting and fundamental approach of the research is the consideration of the language faculty as a biological system of the human being: The pro-drop languages (PDL) and their syntactic and semantic features will be thus investigated from a strongly minimalist point of view in order to find a clearer and cross-linguistic explanation of the pro-drop phenomenon.

I tried to sum up concisely and perhaps sufficiently for the purposes of this text, how the human society was developing in the ability of recording, categorizing, saving and transmitting information in different ages, what influence can history of these processes have on formation and state of the present-day culture. In other words - how the attributes of the primary (oral) culture were transmitted through the chirographic and typographic culture to the contemporary (visual) culture, which is legitimately called the secondary orality. I tried to transpose the theoretic-historical considerations into discussions about the relation between spoken and...

Focusing on morphematics, the author analyses two samples that represent the contemporary spoken Czech on the one hand and the contemporary written Czech on the other hand. He shows the main differences between these two existential modes of language. The different distribution of word classes in spoken and written language causes the most marked differences in morphematics. The various claims to precision and explicitness of the spoken and written communication cause rather less differences in morphematics. Both samples show that in the Czech language still dominates the inflection as a typological principle.
