Then I describe the Character Genesis model by Jiří Levý, the concept of Stylistic Equivalence and Shifts of Expression by Anton Popovič, and the System of Expression by František Miko.

In the empirical part I first present and describe my analytical model, define social background and ethnic background as aspects of...
