Do traditional Dialects still exist Today?
Kloferová, Stanislava
The main goal of the lecture is to ansver the guestion as to whether or not traditional dialects still exist in contemporary Czech. When we look at the situation of modern languages we can see the global tendency of slowly fading of dialects.\nThe lecturer will present maps taken from Czech Language Atlas. Attention will be focused on the striking differences in the perspective of Czech and Moravian speech. There are several types of differences, for example in vocabulary (překážet x zavazet) in word formation (slánka x solnička, líný x lenošný), in morphology (sršeň f. x sršeň m., kobliha f. x koblih m.) or in phonetics (mák x mak, lhát x lhat, moucha x mucha).

New Dialectological Project of Czech Dictionary of Dialects of the Czech Language
Kloferová, Stanislava
Present-day Czech dialektology stands at the beginning of a news era: a long-term project of the Czech linguistic Atlas (6 volumes) has been finished, and a space opens for another, no less important project: Dictionary of Dialects of the Czech Language which will encompass the lexicon of dialects in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. Preperatory work on it has been taking place concurrently with earlier research tasks (besides the Atlas, the Dictionary of Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms), but since 2011 the dialectologists concentrate on the project of this Dictionary. In the first phase (until 2015) they will work up entries beginning with A-C. The Dictionary is primarily conceived as an electronic one, it is espected to be connected with other dialectological projects in one interactive web application. The contribution presents the materiál base of the Dictionary and its conception.

On the conception of a nationwide dialectal dictionary
Kloferová, Stanislava
The papers provides so far the most comprehensive information about the conception of the Dictionary of the Czech Language Dialects, which is developed in the Brno dialectological department of the Institute of the Czech Language of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, and which compiles relatively complete vocabulary of all dialects of the Czech national language. The authorial team builds upon experience from the work on the Czech Language Atlas and the Dictionary of Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms. The initial, five-year period of the Dictionary project ends in 2015. During the period the team has compiled a glossary; at the same time it has worked up the conception and entries beginning with letters A–C (cca. 8,000 entries). The Dictionary will primarily be published in the electronic form, but at the same time materials for the printed (monograph) version are being prepared. The paper informs about the preparatory work, about source materials and their continuous enlargement. Attention is paid to the structure of a dictionary entry. The paper discusses the entry heading (the form of lemma and found variants; emphasis is especially given to the principle of lemma formation in words of foreign origin), types of entry heading, methods used in definitions of meaning, the way of providing records of the words and types of records, and the way of providing the localization (in some village or region). Moreover, it deals with the principle of nesting (in the dictionary it concerns the subordination of words which are in the modifying onomasiological relation with the main entry word). The project will contribute to the lexicological work with its planned interactive interconnection with the Czech Language Atlas and the Dictionary of Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms. Several samples of entries are appended for illustration.

Do Traditional Dialects Still Exist Today?
Kloferová, Stanislava
The item describes the situation of traditional territorial dialects in the area of the Czech national language at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. It deals with the circumstances that have been participating in the development of dialects. Important is primarily the factor of the social prestige of a dialect. It manifests itself differently in Bohemia (socially asymptomatic) and in Moravia and Silesia (socially symptomatic).

The Czech Linguistic Atlas and the Czech language
Kloferová, Stanislava
Czech Linguistic Atlas represents the state of the Czech dialects at the end of the 20th century. Its original conception allows for clear presentation and explanation of the tendencies taking place in our dialects since the Middle Ages. From the areal perspective, it is thus possible to give reasons, for instance, for shifts in the grammatical plane, for specifics of the lexicon, but also for the existence of dialectal transitions which are known as well as not yet known. There is no doubt the Atlas is useful for interdisciplinary studies, particularly for those oriented diachronically (e.g. etymological or onomastic ones). The work is also valuable for the study of present-day Czech – for understanding of normative/codification regulations/rules or for the development and the form of ordinary speech.

Onymic and Dialect Area: Parallelism or Identity
Kloferová, Stanislava
A space projection of the dialect material of proper and non-proper names makes it possible that relations between both planes of the lexicon are more deeply understood, i.e. between the plane of proper names and that of non-proper names (i.e. appellatives). A dialect border is a transition formed on the basis of differences in non-proper names, as the Czech Linguistic Atlas shows. If such a transition is represented by a bundle of isoglosses separating linguistic phenomena of various language planes, we are dealing with a higher-order border. Such a border can also be useful for the interpretation of phenomena in proper names, e.g. from the area of toponymy (in particular, anoikonymy), as the work on Dictionary of Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms indicates.
