Hájek as linguistic authority
Koupil, Ondřej
This study deals with the reception of Hájek’s Czech Chronicle as a text that acted as a linguistic authority, amodel that long stood in second place behind the Bible in the hierarchy of prestige Czech texts. Probes extending from the 16th century to the beginning of the 21st century chart the gradual retreat of Hájek’s text from this position to that of a venerable linguistic heirloom. Hájek’s linguistic authority indeed waned with time, just like his historical authority. the relations between Hájek’s individual spheres of authority are diagramatically set out in Section 7. Section 8 raises more general questions on the importance of period linguistic authorities for handling and periodicizing linguistic and literary history, appealing for an examination of the linguistic features of Czech Chronicle, precisely because it was amuch-read and esteemed czech text for many centuries, practically and theoretically considered to be an important linguistic model.

Publicly accessible electronic resources to the study of the historical Czech in The Department of Language Development of The Institute of the Czech Language AS CR, v. v. i
Černá, Alena M. ; Lehečka, Boris ; Nejedlý, Petr ; Šimek, Štěpán ; Vajdlová, Miloslava
The article introduces two internet sources designated to the study of Older Czech language (13th to 18th centuries); both have been designed and run by The Department of Language Development at The Institute of the Czech Language at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. The first source, Vokabulář webový [Web Vocabulary] (http://vokabular.ujc.cas.cz), makes texts, images and audio materials available to the study of Older Czech language. The accessible materials are, primarily, both modern and historical dictionaries, amongst which the most salient is the, gradually growing, Elektronický slovník staré češtiny [Electronic Old-Czech Vocabulary] that treats Old-Czech lexicon from the dawn of Czech language to the end of the 15th century. Furthermore, Vokabulář includes electronic editions of the works originating in the period from the 13th century to the beginning of the 19th century, presented both as continuous texts and in the corpus version; digitalized copies of Older-Czech grammar books; basic scientific literature; audiobooks of Older-Czech texts; and software tools utilized for the work with historical texts. The second source is Lexikální databáze hu-manistické a barokní češtiny [Lexical Database of Humanistic and Baroque Czech] (http://madla.ujc.cas.cz). It records the Czech vocabulary of the 16th to 18th centuries based on the excerption of the authentic contemporary texts (both old prints and manuscripts): Lexical database illustrates the Czech vocabulary with direct quotations, including stating the source. Thus, Lexical Database partly substitutes the missing Czech vocabulary of the mentioned period.
