Language attitudes: research and interpretation
Čmejrková, Světla
This article is inspired by Daneš´s concept of language attitudes and their classification. It is based on a survey conducted with contemporary students of secondary schools and universities, and university students with Czech as a major subject (100 people in total). Their answers identify relevant topics for the formulation of attitudes toward territorial and stylistic variation in contemporary Czech, above all toward their experience of the opposition of standard and non-standard Czech.

How Literary Characters Experience Their Names
Procházková, Žaneta
Characters not only use their names in narrative but they live through them as well. They identify themselves with their names or they hate them. For some of characters the name is something given only by chance. Characters talk about names, appreciate them, look for their origin or try to explain the meaning of names. Character’s opinion of name always shows us something about his/her personality.

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.
