On the research of word formation in Czech dialects
Hlubinková, Zuzana
The Czech dialectological word-formation studies have started to develop particularly since the 1960s following the research of M. Dokulil. A number of dialectological monographs of that period contained only brief sections devoted to word formation. Monographs exclusively dealing with dialectological word formation were usually written later; the dissertation by M. Racková (1965) and by F. Fic (1984) remained in manuscript, whereas the work by Z. Hlubínková Tvoření slov ve východomoravských nářečích was published in print in 2010. The authors of these books have arrived at the following conclusions: a number of word-formation features are shared both by the standard language and the dialects, specific are only the very few formants, and a large part of them is of expressive nature (the contribution provides its list). The specific features are typical not only to nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs, but also to pronouns and prepositions. Moreover, it is possible to account for their regional distributional (a sample map is included, too).

Prothetic v- in view of quantitative linguistic research
Šimečková, Marta
The paper presents an overview and evaluation of the hitherto linguistic research of the prothetic v- in the Czech language. The main aim of the item is to compare different approaches in quantitative descriptions of this phenomenon in diachronic and synchronic works, to point out the pros and cons of applied methodologies and to suggest possible solutions for future research. Points of view shown in representative publications are presented, attention was paid to the prothetic v- due to its unintegration into the Czech standard phonetic system and to its often occurrence in some territorial dialects and in common (or colloquial) Czech.

What is the Internet Language Guide and how to work with it
Konečná, Hana
The Internet Language Guide (ILG) was made accessible in January 2009. In creating it, the linguists of the Institute of the Czech Language (ICL) built on their experience of the language advising. This public service belongs to notable activities of the ICL. The dictionary part of the ILG contains more than 82 000 entries at present, the explanatory part focuses mainly on the phenomena which repeatedly are the subject of questions of the Czech language users. At the beginning of 2014, the ILG was interconnected with the Dictionary of the Literary Czech Language (more than 192 000 entries) and with the Dictionary of Literary Czech for School and Public (approx. 48 000 entries).

Dialectical Terminology of the Joinery in the Town of Rájec-Jestřebí
Konečná, Sabina
The item deals with the dialectical terminology of the joinery in the town of Rájec-Jestřebí. The local dialect belongs to the so called “mountain type” of the South-Central Moravian dialects. The examined dialectical terminology is divided into following semantic areas: activities, machines, products and their parts, wood joining, materials and tools. The terminology of the joinery in Rájec-Jestřebí has not been described in detail so far. The linguistic analysis shows that a great part of the local terms is unique, they are not found anywhere else. Most terms are of German origin. Dialectical terminology is a part of the vocabulary that quickly disappears, therefore it can be concluded that the collected dialectical terms are very valuable.
