Medical Eponyms, Achilles’ Heel of Language Consulting Centre’s enquirers
Mžourková, Hana
Eponyms are a traditional part of medical terminology. Their specificity consists in the proprial motivation (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome). Especially in several past decades there is undoubtedly an increase of medical terms (and therefore eponyms) in everyday communication. Questions for the correct form of eponyms naturally emerged in lingustically structured database of enquiries, too. The paper focuses on orthographic and morphological aspect that enquirers of Language Consulting Centre have difficulty with and practical use of the resulting language data.
Laypersons’ language rules and their importance for language cultivation
Mžourková, Hana
In investigating the language attitudes of the laypersons, the particular importance is attached to Folk-linguistics, still less explored field in Czech linguistics. Nonlinguists’comments about linguistic topics also include the codified language rules reflection, a rich source of linguistic and sociolinguistic data. This text brings results of the analysis of laypersons’ language rules that are often present in questions for the Language Consulting Centre of the Department of the Language Cultivation of the Czech Language Institute and shows their importance for the language handbooks-making process.
