Boček, Vít

Reflection on the Dictionary of Czech Dialects
Šipková, Milena
2017 - English
After finishing the Czech Linguistic Atlas (1992-2011), the Brno Department of Dialectology of the Institute of the Czech Language, Czech Academy of Sciences, comes to the most significant phase of its aktivity - to the lexicological compilation of the gathered dialect materiál. In connection with a question arises, what type of a dialect dictionary should be compiled. It could be either some type of a differential dictionary, or a dictionary of comprehensive character. These guestions reflect not only the scientific point of view and the national and cultural interest, but also the temporal perspective, personal possibilities of the researches-dialectologists (their qualifications, experience, age) as well as in these days more and more important financial support. In her article, the author tries to characterize some possible zypes of differential dialect dictionaries and draws attention to their pros (advantages) and cons (dishadvantages). In opposition to these, she places the comprehensive compilation of an extensive dialect materiál in the form of a dictionary: on the one hand, she points out its problems, difficulties, even risks, on the other hand, its indisputable values

Peripheral Old Czech names for Owls
Hořejší, Michal; Voleková, Kateřina
2017 - English
This paper focuses on the interpretation of the Old Czech peripheral ornithonyms vap, vapek a puňek. Based on an analysis of the context for the evidence, and with the help of more recent sources and an analysis of the morphological structure, several findings have been made: a) the Old Czech vap is a deverbative formed from the Croatian vapiti, which provides further proof of contact between the two languages during the Middle Ages, b) the formant -ek performs a complex function in the names of animals, as it may simultaneously carry a diminutive and an agentive meaning, while including the information that the word is the name of an animal, c) the distribution of the names of animals was loose in earlier times, with one term frequently relating to several referents, whereas one animal commonly bore several names.

Towards two Old Czech loanwords
Nejedlý, Petr
2017 - English
The article challenges two new expositions of loaned Old Czech lexemes, which are available online, and confirms the older explanations of these words: the noun dějnicě ‘carpet’ has its origins, regardless of other more recent forms, in the Old Polish dzianica, and the noun moryt ‘a plant used to dye material’ is an appropriate loanword from Middle Latin moretum.

Selected morphological features in the common speech of the young generation in the border zone of west Bohemia
Nová, Jana
2015 - English
The aim of the paper is to describe a newly developed common speech in an area settled by people from various regions. We present research results from five towns northwest of Pilsen (West Bohemia). The common speech of this region is based on common Czech, with noteworthy occurence of West Bohemian dialectal features, and no strictly defined features of standard Czech. There are supposed certain differences between localities, partly explainable by geographical context. Comparing the two used research methods, in the written questionnaire respondents tended to use standard Czech more frequently, while in the recording of their speech many rare language items or variant forms have not been registered.

On two expressions of negative mental state (hatred, fear)
Nejedlý, Petr
2015 - English
There is no indisputable recorded evidence of a fundamental non-negative form of the Old Church Slavic and Slavic verb nenaviděti (it is necessary to revise some opposite views in this respect). Later records of the verb naviděti can be, from the semantic point of view, explained rather as prefi xed derivatives of viděti. Nenaviděti had therefore in all likelihood originated as an artifi cially created denotation of an abstract concept based on the spheres of Christian doctrine. 2. As primarily Old Czech records indicate, the word family of the Slavic verb plašiti contains the IE root *pel-, the initial meaning of which is one of motion: 'chase, run aft er'. The sememe '(rapid/hasty) motion' needs to be considered as fundamental for already the earliest stages of Slavic languages; the sememe 'fright, fear' is – along with the corresponding intransitive verbs – secondary.
