The article focuses on the Old Czech and Middle Czech nouns with the suffix -ež and their word-formative development. Unproductiveness of this word-forming type and peripheral character of lexical items derived within it is proved even in older stages of Czech.

Action nouns derived from verbs with the suffix -ež (krádež, loupež, etc.) used to be originally masculine in Czech (similarly as in other Slavonic languages). The derivatives have changed their declension affiliation and have merged into feminines in the course of centuries (similarly also in Slovak and Polish).

There are several hundred proper nouns in the letters written by Czech author Karel Havlíček Borovský (1821-1856), such as nicknames, hypocorisms, Jewish tradesmen's surnames, names of historical places within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, names of streets in Prague, sacred names, or names of institutions and works of art. As far as their language origin is concerned, those are Czech, German, Russian, Polish, and other Slavic names. The article deals with the orthography and morphology of the proper nouns, the then forms of geographical names including exonyms, and puns derived from proper nouns.

The author analyses the function of selected syntactic plan language means, the usage of which has been attested in the presenters' speech within Události, the main evening news of the Czech statutory broadcaster, Česká televize. The presenters use full valency syntactic constructions, i.e. syntactic constructions using the complete set of verbal arguments. The presenters don't manifest any of the phenomena typical of everyday spontaneous spoken interaction. Through thorough analysis of selected texts the author has proved that to influence the assumed audiences, the presenters use word-order modifications, epistemic language means, and voluntative...

The article is based on the methodology and ongoing phonetic research of the vocalic quality and quantity which will be part of my Ph.D. dissertation. The analysis focuses on the vocalic quality as well as on the quantity ratio in long and short vowels produced by TV news presenters. The research aims to find out whether the vocalic quality and quantity are influenced by the phonemic neighbourhood and by the position of the analyzed vowel within sample word.

The beginning of the 21st century (especially its second decade) brought several attempts at comprehensive grammar of Czech. The long-awaited event, however, was processing the new academic Czech grammar. In 2013 the grammar Akademická gramatika spisovné češtiny (Štícha et al. 2013). The grammar, although it bears the name of "academic" is far from being an academic grammar in the above sense. On the contrary, the extensive grammar should be according to the words of the editor a practical handbook for broad public, which should provide an ordered array of information about the natural rules of Czech grammar. Almost half of the range of academic grammar...

Principles of the Czech orthography can be observed in the relationship between phonemes and morphemes (Josef Vachek), or in the unified registration of the morpheme, regardless of the pronunciation in various co-occurrences, which is the basic orthographic principle governing especially the Slavonic writing systems (Baudouin de Courtenay). In this article, the authors describe the auxiliary character of the phonological principle, which supports merely the recording function of the orthography. On the other hand, the morphematic principle fulfils both basic functions of writing and orthography, i. e. recording and recognition of the meaning of morphs...

The article examines the "cross points" of two elements: of Russian phraseology and a new communication space - the Internet-discourse. A study of the use of language units in the online-space allows to see their functioning and their place in the formation of the texts of the communication network and to establish the role of the Internet discourse in the emergence of idiomatic expressions and their contextual implementation.
