Dialect features in magazine interviews
Jílková, Lucie
The article analyzes elements of the Wallachian dialect which appeared in selected magazine article interview. The interview analyzed is essentially written in standard Czech, yet it is to varying degrees permeated by elements of the Wallachian dialect. The occurrence of various varieties is connected to the so-called diglossic situation in Czech. Dialect elements are generally represented in the interviews through the use of well-known lexical units (dědina) as well as lesser-known ones (uškřekaná) or morphological differences (potřebujú). Dialect elements can be used to contribute to the overall lively character of the interview and bring the reader closer to the interviewee.
The absent description: compensating for its evocative and identifying function
Hoffmannová, Jana
A specific kind of descriptions may be observed in everyday spoken conversations: an explicit description based on full-meaning expressions is missing, while being replaced by other means of reference such as indefinite pronouns or quasi-referring means. This indefiniteness is also made possible due to the use of gestures and moves. Nevertheless, it is the shared experience and communicational strategies of the participants that make it possible for the description to fulfill its function.
