This state correlates with a normal state of the users of this language which is based on a genuine feeling of normality. This feeling originates in a basic socialization situation in which an individual acquires a language norm as well as other types of standardization in a natural way. When the 'artificial'...
The author analyzes the varying influence of the newer ideas of the Circle in the Czech lands and in Slovakia. He claims that the main difference between this influence in these two areas lies in the fact that the Czech linguistic tradition was very well established after World War II and new ideas of structuralism were adopted there in an atmosphere of orientation to Anglo-Saxon culture. Slovak linguistics,...
This paper provides additional information which complements the article “On Dolník’s theory of standard language” by V. Dovalil published in Slovo a slovesnost (73, 2012, no. 2). This is done in consideration of the fact that Dovalil’s article is short of relevant information on the content of Dolník’s book, hence potential readers may gain a distorted idea of the theory. The author describes the...

Классическая теория языковых контактов рассматривает их результаты лишь как интерференцию двух языков, приводящую к явлениям конвергентного характера. Однако при продолжающихся тесных языковых контактах между двумя близкородственными литературными языками в принимающем языке, проявляющим большýю жизнеспособность, во избежание смены языка возникают дивергентные явления, которые препятствуют его еще...
The aim of the paper is to analyse compounding and compoundness in Slovak, Czech and Polish. Compoundness is defined as a property of a complex word (compound) having at least two components with lexical meaning. The essential distinction between composition and derivation (affixation) lies in the number of bases in the structure of a word, so it is inevitable that we analyse the notions of base and...
