Humanistic and Baroque Orthography from Lexicological Viewpoint
Nejedlý, Petr
Humanistic and baroque orthography from lexicological viewpoint Humanistic and baroque texts (without taking into account punctuation and limits of words) show on the one hand the historical orthography itself, on the other hand the condition of the phonology, morphology, and word formation of the period. No matter how difficult it is, in lexicology and lexicography we have to distinguish both pieces of information strictly, in order not to mix up orthographic and lexical variants in lexicographic or editorial practice.

The discontinuity of the development of language and the lexical system
Nejedlý, Petr
The lexical system develops continuously – changes proceed as a part of the other ones. Sometimes user of the language doesn´t know a suitable lexical unit and he comes with a lexical inovation. So the reduplication of the system position happens. We find many such cases in the Czech language of the humanistic and baroque periods. The reason is the discrepancy between the overbrash develop of the communications occasions and the more limited communications possibilities.

An unknown courteous word in Old Czech?
Nejedlý, Petr
The Old Czech hapax legomenon bnedovánie is used in the adaptation of the medieval knight romance Duke Ernest (Herzog Ernst). There are two hypotheses based on the lexical system: 1) the corrupt word is an archaic part of the word family constituted by the adjectiv sbedný and its derivates and it means ,a (brilliant and amusing) social behaviour corresponding with norms of court; (but we cannot satisfactorily explain word-formative processes leading from the sbedný to the bnedovánie); 2) the word is the corrupt form of Old Czech noun burdovánie (but its use is not convincing in the existing context).
