Mudra’s Upper Sorbian-Czech dictionary – what can be done about this lexicographic “posthumous child”?
Brankatschk, Katja; Škrabal, M.
2021 - English
Jiří Mudra, among his numerous selfless activities, was a Czech doyen of Sorbian studies. He had been working for decades on an Upper Sorbian-Czech dictionary but, unfortunately, had not finished his work on it at the time of his death. Presently, we are considering completing\nMudra’s project. The material collected by Mudra is undoubtedly valuable for us, providing us with a launchpad for further work, still, it is necessary to challenge it with the current data and a modern lexicographic approach. The paper presents the proposed individual methods\naimed at finishing the main body of the dictionary. Every lexicographer works with the data and tools available in his or her time – and Mudra\nwas certainly no exception. There is, therefore, no reason to maintain exaggerated reverence towards his dataset where it is in apparent conflict with the current language reality. The aim is not to foster Mudra’s cult, but to acknowledge his admirable initiative and enthusiasm. The best way to do so is to complete his dictionary with all the possibilities currently offered to us and make it available – as the first academic dictionary in this language combination – to Czech users.

Slovenian IT Terminology and its Reflection in the Slovenian-Czech Dictionary
Blažek, David
2018 - Czech
As has been stated and demonstrated with the examples in the paper, the IT terminology contained in the Dictionary represents the majority of common word-formation procedures. Depending on the frequency of occurrence, the resources for Dictionary spelling variants and terminological doublets, consisting of usually a pair of inherited expressions and new-built expressions, are also included in the Dictionary. The paper demonstrates that the terminology of computer technology is also being built by extending the meaning of existing expressions, the source being the general vocabulary or the terminology of other disciplines. Počítačová terminologie obsažená ve slovníku reprezentuje většinu ze slovotvorných postupů obvyklých při tvorbě tohoto názvosloví. V závislosti na četnosti výskytu ve zdrojích slovník zachycuje i pravopisné varianty tvarově dosud neustálených výrazů či terminologické dublety tvořené zpravidla párem převzatý výraz (internacionalizmus) versus domácí pojmenování. Na příkladech ze slovníku bylo také uvedeno, že terminologie výpočetní techniky se nešíří pouze nově tvořenými slovy, ale také rozšiřováním významu výrazů stávajících, jejichž zdrojem je obecná slovní zásoba nebo terminologie jiných oborů.

Francis Dvorník - a World-Renowned Byzantinist
Vavřínek, Vladimír
2018 - English
Biographical medailon of the excellent and most famous Czech Byzantinist, professor of Charles University and later also of Harvard University msgre Francis Dvorník. Three major research topics he studied in the subsequent periods of his academic career are examined: his epoch-making monographs on the Christianization of the Slavs from Byzantium and, in particular, on the Cyrillo-Methodian mission written during his postgraduate studies in Paris and the following academic career in Prague, his revolutionary book on the Photian schism completed during his exile in England in the time of World War II, and his monumental work on the Early Christian and Byzantine political philosophy that he produced at Dumbarton Oaks Center for Byzantine Studies in Washington, DC. Besides his scientific work political activities of Professor Dvorník are described too, whether it was his co-operation with the Czechoslovak ministry of foreign affaires in the time between the wars or his support of various Czech cultural institutions in exile when he later lived in the US.

Eternal be the Memory of our Lady: the Synodikon of Orthodoxy and the Piety of the Late Byzantine Empresses
Melichar, Petra
2017 - English
The study focuses on the fact that only nine out of fifteen late Byzantine empresses were confirmed by the Orthodox Church as Orthodox and their names were inscribed in the Synodikon of Orthodoxy (which among others contains a list of names of Byzantine rulers who died in Orthodoxy). The author inquires into the cases of empresses whose names were not included and suggests the reasons for their omission. The results of the study reveal the criteria of evaluation set by the representatives of the Orthodox Church for the official piety of empresses.

On the Underappriciated Bulgarian Studies Works of František Rut Tichý, Also Known as Zdeněk Broman (1886–1968)
Černý, Marcel
2017 - Czech
This study concentrates on the Bulgarian studies works of F. R. Tichý (who since 1903 also wrote under the pseudonym of Zdeněk Broman), an unjustly neglected figure in Czech-Bulgarian cultural relations, (among other things, a contributor to the journal Slovanský přehled [Slavonic Review]), who was a literary historian, and a prolific translator and journalist in the fields of Czech, German, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, and Belorussian studies. Besides his hand-written Czech anthology of works by the pioneer of the Bulgarian literary Modernism, Pencho Slaveykov (which is preserved at the Literary Archive of the Museum of Czech Literature in Prague), Tichý's adaptations of poems by Kiril Khristov, Peyo K. Yavorov, and Khristo Botev (book translation from 1913) are analyzed in the text, and also an excerpt of the translation of the prose work Bay Ganyo by Aleko Konstantinov is briefly commented on. The relationship between Tichý and the Bulgarian literary historian Boyan Penev is also mentioned and his Bulgarian studies articles published in periodicals are evaluated. F. R. Tichý's contribution to Bulgarian studies lies in the fact that he was the first ever promoter of and expert on the Bulgarian literary Modernism in the Czech lands and that he considerably improved the quality of Czech translations of Bulgarian poetry. Studie se zabývá bulharistickým profilem F. R. Tichého (od roku 1903 užíval také pseudonymu Zdeněk Broman), neprávem opomíjené osobnosti česko-bulharských kulturních vztahů (mj. spolupracovníka Slovanského přehledu A. Černého), literárního historika a plodného překladatele a publicisty v oblasti bohemistiky, slovakistiky, germanistiky, bulharistiky, ukrajinistiky a bělorusistiky. Vedle jím připravené rukopisné české antologie z díla průkopníka bulharské moderny Penča Slavejkova (zachovala se v badatelově pozůstalosti v Literárním archivu Památníku národního písemnictví v Praze) jsou v textu analyzována i Tichého přebásnění Kirila Christova, Peja K. Javorova, Christa Boteva (knižní překlad z roku 1913) aj. a rovněž překlad úryvku z prozaické knihy Baj Gaňu od Aleka Konstantinova. Kromě toho jsou stručně komentovány Tichého kontakty s bulharským literárním historikem Bojanem Penevem a zhodnoceny jeho bulharistické články uveřejněné v periodickém tisku. Bulharistický přínos F. R. Tichého tkví v tom, že byl prvním propagátorem a znalcem bulharské moderny v Čechách a že výrazně pozvedl úroveň českého překladu bulharské umělé poezie.

On the Roots of Church Slavonic Literature in the Slavonic Monastery in Prague
Čermák, Václav
2017 - Czech
The article deals with the issue of Czech-Croatian cultural history and literary contacts which intensified after the foundation of the Slavonic Monastery in Prague in the mid-14th century. Greatest attention is paid to written sources for Church Slavonic and Czech Glagolitic literature that originated in the 2nd half of the 14th century and early 15th century which were used in this monastery. At first, the author presents the development specifications of Church Slavonic literature in Croatia and points out the historic circumstances which in the northern areas of the Croatian coast enabled the development of Church Slavonic written in the Glagolitic script for Roman liturgy. Attention is also paid to the development of respect for Bohemian saints in Latin and Croatian Glagolitic liturgical sources which in most cases gives evidence of their cult's existence in Croatia prior to the 14th century. The author of the study briefly reminds readers about the individual liturgical booklets of Croatian Glagolitic origin which were used for Slavonic liturgy not only in Croatia but also in the Slavonic Monastery in Prague. Příspěvek se zabývá otázkou česko-chorvatských kulturněhistorických a literárních kontaktů, k jejichž zintenzivnění došlo po založení Slovanského kláštera v Praze v polovině 14. století. Pozornost je věnována především písemným zdrojům, z nichž čerpalo církevněslovanské a českohlaholské písemnictví, vznikající ve 2. polovině 14. století a na počátku 15. století v tomto klášteře. Autor nejprve představuje vývojová specifika církevněslovanského písemnictví v Chorvatsku a upozorňuje na historické okolnosti, které v severních oblastech chorvatského pobřeží umožnily rozvoj církevní slovanštiny psané hlaholicí pro římskou liturgii. Pozornost je věnována také rozvoji úcty k českým světcům v liturgických pramenech latinských a charvátskohlaholských, která ve většině případů dosvědčuje existenci jejich kultu v Chorvatsku již před 14. stoletím. Autor studie stručně připomíná jednotlivé liturgické příručky charvátskohlaholského původu, které se používaly pro slovanskou liturgii nejen v Chorvatsku, ale také ve Slovanském klášteře v Praze.

The dynamics of the development of Ruthenian dialects in Slovakia and Ukraine as exemplified by prepositions
Vašíček, Michal
2017 - Czech
This article deals with the dynamics of the vocabulary of Ruthenian dialects in two regions of two states – eastern Slovakia and Transcarpathia in Ukraine. It focuses on prepositions as well as conjunctions and particles, which are function words with a high frequency of occurrence. The analysis is based on dialectal material obtained during our own field research, carried out since 2011 in this area, specifically in the municipalities of Ubľa and Malyj Bereznyj, lying close to the Slovak-Ukrainian state border. Here, until World War II closely related Ruthenian dialects had been evolving in sociolinguistically identical conditions. But after World War II, they were separated by the Czechoslovak-Soviet border and came under the influence of different literary languages – Slovak, on the one side, and Ukrainian and Russian on the other. Due to levelling processes oriented to different literary languages, the originally closely related dialects have considerably diverged from each other. Comparing the current material with older dialectal materials, we will try to document more recent influences of literary languages on the development of Ruthenian dialects.\n Tento příspěvek je věnován dynamice části slovní zásoby rusínských (jihokarpatských ukrajinských) nářečí ve dvou státních útvarech – na východě Slovenska a v Zakarpatí na Ukrajině. Je zaměřen na předložky, tedy na část synsémantického, neplnovýznamového lexika s vysokou frekvencí výskytu. Materiálovým východiskem je nářeční materiál získaný při vlastních terénních výzkumech, prováděných od r. 2011 v uvedené oblasti, konkrétně v obcích Ubľa a Malyj Bereznyj, ležících v těsné blízkosti slovensko-ukrajinské státní hranice. Zde se až do II. světové války vyvíjela blízce příbuzná rusínská nářečí ve shodných sociolingvistických podmínkách. Po II. světové válce však byla oddělena československo-sovětskou hranicí a dostala se do vlivu různých spisovných jazyků – slovenštiny na jedné straně a ukrajinštiny a ruštiny na straně druhé. Původně blízké dialekty se nivelizačními procesy orientovanými na různé spisovné jazyky značně oddálily. Na základě srovnání současného materiálu s materiály starších výzkumů se pokusíme zdokumentovat novější vlivy spisovných jazyků na vývoj rusínských nářečí.

National consciousness of Southern-Carpathian dialect speakers in the Slovak-Ukrainian border area
Vašíček, Michal
2016 - Czech
This paper aims to analyze the current national identification of East-Slavic dialect speakers in Slovakia and compare it with the national attitudes of Slavic inhabitants on the territory of the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. Among the representatives of East-Slavic ethnic group in the Slovak Republic the ethnonym Rusnak predominates, while in Ukraine the majority of informants consider themselves to be Ukrainians or Rusyns. Seventy-year existence of the political border between Czechoslovakia and USSR and then between Slovakia and Ukraine has greatly influenced not only the development of the local East-Slavic dialects, but also the national consciousness of their speakers. Cílem tohoto příspěvku je analýza současné národnostní identifikace mluvčích východoslovanských jihokarpatských dialektů na území Slovenska a porovnat ji s národnostními postoji mluvčích geneticky blízkých nářečí na území Zakarpatské oblasti na Ukrajině. Z našeho materiálu vyplývá, že mezi představiteli východoslovanského etnika na Slovensku převažuje etnonymum Rusnak, zatímco na Ukrajině se většina informantů považuje za Ukrajince nebo Rusíny. Sedmdesátiletá existence politické hranice mezi příslušníky východoslovanského etnika na území Slovenska a Ukrajiny tak výrazně ovlivnila nejen vývoj místních nářečí, ale i národnostní uvědomění jejich mluvčích.
