On some Old Church Slavonic names of volume measurements
Valčáková, Pavla
2015 - English
The work deals with metrological terms in Old Church Slavonic languages, especially with names of volume measurements. Most of these old cultural terms borrowed from Greek (chinik7, litra, měra) or through Greek from Aramaic (sat7), Sumerian (kor6) and Old Persian (artava). It is evident, that the names of volume measurements are an important part of human culture.

On the semantic shift 'blow' – 'needless or frivolous talk'
Nejedlý, Petr; Vajdlová, Miloslava
2015 - English
There is a marginal part of (Old) Czech lexis, the root *klas- family (cf. klás /n/ 'ludibrium; iocus'), so far unrecorded in Czech etymological lexicons. The article considers various Slavic as well as non-Slavic possibilities of the family’s origin and outlines formal and content contexts of this onomatopoeically motivated family on the background of some Old Church Slavic lexical units and on the basis of the principle of elementary relationship.

Loanwords and Foreign Proper Names in Czech: a Phonologist’s View
Duběda, T.; Havlík, Martin; Jílková, Lucie; Štěpánová, Veronika
2014 - English
The objective of the present paper is to analyze phonological aspects of orthographically non-adapted loanwords and foreign proper names on a non-normative basis. A system of eight adaptation principles is put forward (1. phonological approximation; 2. spelling pronunciation; 3. original pronunciation; 4. analogy with the donor language; 5. analogy with the recipient language; 6. the influence of a third language; 7. the influence of universals; 8. unclearly motivated pronunciation). This system is then applied to a sample of Anglicisms taken from a recently published dictionary. We show that the most important principles are phonological approximation and, to a lesser degree, spelling pronunciation. The “secondary” principles (4–8) affect only a small number of items. Differences between British and American pronunciation are unproblematic for the system.

Dictionary Writing System: Output and Editorial Modules
Barbierik, Kamil; Děngeová, Zuzana; Jarý, Vladimír; Liška, Tomáš; Lišková, Michaela; Virius, Miroslav
2014 - English
This paper focuses on a dictionary writing system called Alexis that is currently under development at the Institute of the Czech language of the Czech Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic as part of a preparation of a new monolingual dictionary of the contemporary Czech language. At first, we explain motivation for development of a brand new DWS. We also discuss selected software technologies used for development of the DWS. Then we briefly describe structure of the system that consists of several modules that model key features of the dictionary such as lemma or list of entries. Special emphasis is put on output and editorial modules: we explain the relation between those modules, we demonstrate the process of correction of lemma and roles involved in the process. Finally, we present current status of development and planned new modules which include web interface or revision module.

The absent description: compensating for its evocative and identifying function
Hoffmannová, Jana
2014 - English
A specific kind of descriptions may be observed in everyday spoken conversations: an explicit description based on full-meaning expressions is missing, while being replaced by other means of reference such as indefinite pronouns or quasi-referring means. This indefiniteness is also made possible due to the use of gestures and moves. Nevertheless, it is the shared experience and communicational strategies of the participants that make it possible for the description to fulfill its function.
