Sports as a subject matter in contemporary Czech drama
Hoffmannová, Jana ; Hoffmann, B.
Theater and radio plays and productions with sports as their subject matter offer a new thematic area in the history of Czech drama and theater. The authors of these texts are above all Petr Kolečko and David Drábek. They select primarily popular sports (football, hockey, tennis, skiing, track and field) and their world-famous representatives (J. Jágr, R. Federer, R. Nadal, H. Fibingerová). The dramatic picture of sports and of athletes is not one of adoration, but rather, a critical one bordering on caricature. The language of athletes, fans, and functionaries (see for example the text by P. Čtvrtníček entitled “Ivánku, kamaráde, můžeš mluvit?” [Ivánek, my friend, can you talk?]) is full of non-standard expressions, Common Czech and sports slang, as well as expressives and vulgarisms.

This article presents preliminary results from field research conducted at Czech Television.

The article presents an overview of 80 foreign proper names, 10 common names and 12 abbreviations which have various pronunciation variants, respondents’ attitudes toward them, and in some cases their declared process of finding the appropriate pronunciation. Attention is further devoted to the respondents’ awareness of the rules for the pronunciation of loanwords and foreign language personal names in Czech.
