From Kvilda to Kašperské Hory (Literary Toponyms in Works of Karel Klostermann)
Procházková, Žaneta
Karel Klostermann used toponyms very often in his narratives (e. g. in the novel V ráji šumavském there are 114 different ones) and he cumulated them in long enumerations. Toponyms were an inseparable part of his detailed descriptions of a scene. These place names and minor place names were always real. It seems that the author wanted to add credibility to his story also through the use of real existing toponyms, which was a popular practice in literature at that time.

WE and THEY – Names of Foreigners in Czech Literature
Procházková, Žaneta
Authors usually choose “typical“ or “common“ names for foreigners in literary works. Names are understanded as “typical“ because of their origin, form and frequency of presence in real world. According to my opinion a signal of attribute of character’s “foreignness“ is more important than typicalness (i.e. classification function). Graphic form of the name, its phonetic or morphologic structure can be a signal of the foreignness.

Lyrical Dialogue in the Collection of Poetry Přísný obraz (Austere Picture) by Josef Kostohryz
Steinerová, Jana
The text is concerned with the inner dialogue of the lyrical speaker with his own self. Throughout the book, this dialogue takes on a number of different forms, reflecting the speaker’s disposition and life experience. He addresses himself either more directly when the “you” actually substitutes “I”, or by means of various entities characteristic of his life experience – individual people, love, poetry, fate, literary and mythical characters of the ancient world etc.
