The article focuses on personification in Czech vernacular names of flowers and birds. It explores different forms of personification used in vernacular names and compares the metaphors in each of the two domains in order to show how flowers and birds are per- ceived with regard to anthropocentrism.

This paper examines whether the presupposition of a stimulus implied by verbs of reaction in Czech is manifested in the topic-focus articulation of the sentence, and whether it is affected by the fact that the stimulus and the reaction together form (or do not form) a reciprocal situation.

There are two interpretations of the relationship between the preposition and the form of the noun: 1) the preposition requires a complement to which it assigns a case; 2) the preposition does not control the case and specifies its semantics. The task of the article is to try to say whether one of the concepts is more accurate.

The study tries to show how the schizophrenic behavior of the Czech phi-marker -s both as a C-2 clitic (Ty-s četl // Ty jsi četl "You've read") and a V-clitic (Ty četl-s // *Ty četl jsi "You've read") could be derived within the theoretical framework of the phi-feature geometric analysis.

This article discusses the scientific and human profile of Professor Jan Kořenský. He was a leading Czechoslovak and Czech linguist and created a new concept of describing the Czech language. It is based on a synthesis of older structuralist and more recent pragmatic and philosophical approach to Czech and language in general. Key words: Jan Kořenský; philosophy of language; pragmatic; cognitive and semiotic approach to Czech and language in general

This contribution is an attempt to create a portrait of Jan Kořenský from the opinions and quotes of around twenty Czech and Slovak linguists, i. e. of Kořenský's peers, colleagues and students. The selection is based on texts written about him and his work: reviews of his books, texts celebrating his life milestones, and (unfortunately) also obituaries.

Czechoslovakia in the 1950s and 1960s was controlled by the Communist Party, which strictly determined cultural policy. The book market was centrally planned and based on the reduction or negation of market mechanisms. In this study, I show the ways in which the Party in power tried to determine the optimal way of calculating authors' royalties in order to achieve a "fair" payment system and to limit "unearned" profit. Similarly, I examine what factors were taken into account in setting a uniform selling price for the book, which was not to be based on actual financial costs or the level of reader demand, but was to take into account the social value...

The study focuses on the aesthetic dimensions of the work of Lubomír Doležel. This work, although essentially bound to the field of literary theory, displays various links to aesthetic categories and connects them to linguistic, semiotic, literary and narrative theoretical and other of the author's findings. The study reveals these connections.

In 2012, under the auspices of the Writers' Association, the Prize for Humorous Literature was established, named after the popular representative of this genre, Miloslav Švandrlík (1932-2009). Initially, it was awarded annually, but its rules and especially the composition of the individual juries have changed. Eventually, there was even a "price pause", with the year relating to books published in 2021 being initially omitted and then merged with the following year. The consequences of this "price pause" are summarised in a framework with reference to the books by the pseudonymous Sigi Bigstain, who created a humorous trilogy about the fate of the...

In this paper, we analyse a collection of short stories entitled Dom pre jeleňa (2002) by the author Dominika Moravčíková, who has already drawn attention to herself with her literary debut, a collection of poems, Deti Hamelnu (2020). In both collections, we can observe similar authorial practices, thematic focus, but also specifics analogous to a distinct movement in contemporary Slovak literature.

The article informs about the complex of Slovak literary awards Panta Rhei Awards and especially about Pavol Rankov's prose The Clinic, which won the PRA Literary Academy Award in 2023. After a brief introduction of the author and a recapitulation of his work to date, an interpretative analysis follows, emphasizing that this is a model prose, precise in partial details, but basically resigned to soul-searching verisimilitude, convincing motivation of the characters' actions or authenticity in depicting the setting. The story of an individual trying in vain to get into the care of a renowned expert is a conscious variation on the works of world-famous...

The author of the study deals not only with media cases connected with the activities of Petr Kukal, but above all with his literary and poetic work from 2014 to the last collection published so far. Using secondary literature, it examines Kukal's creative profile through the analysis and interpretation of Kukal's texts in order to clarify the poet's relationship to the artistic tradition, the changes in his work and also his position within contemporary Czech poetry.

The study analyses F. Klega's collection Andrstán in comparative relations not only to the Czech literary underground, but also asks to what extent the conceptual vocabulary that accompanies the collection, especially the notions of the Czech underground and "embarrassing poetry", is thought about in the texts that in some way reciprocate it. It also asks to what extent the freedom in the use of these terms is linked to the situation of literary criticism within the academically "measured" literary science.

This article deals with two crime fiction books by František Šmehlík: the novel Slyšet jeleny zpívat (To Hear the Deer Sing, 2021) and the novel Šelma (The Beast, 2022). The critical reviewing especially focuses on the problem of transposition and modification of the "nordic noir" narrative model (typical settings, plots, characters) to the Czech fiction.
