The present study focuses on the intertextual relations between fairy-tale patterns and their artistic adaptations that are in contemporary literary communication and meta-communication denominated apocrypha. The study analyzes and compares the short story anthologies of Přemysl Rut V mámově postýlce (In Mummy’s Bed, 2000) and Květa Legátová Mušle a jiné odposlechy (Shell and Other Eavesdroppings,...
The investigation of intertextuality in the Czech scholarly milieu is traditionally demarcated by the Bakhtinian-Kristevan “broad” approach on the one hand, and by the Nitra School’s “technical” approach on the other. Nevertheless, it seems that one of the few Czech contributions to the topic, embodied in Lubomír Doležel’s conception of fictional worlds, namely in the notion of transduction, remains...
This paper demonstrates the mutual relations between the various “voices” in Czech folk songs and the way in which these voices can be identified. The introductory section characterizes the specific features of the songs: the concision and condensation of their structure, as well as their emotionality of expression. The second section is devoted to the analysis of a selected corpus of folk songs from...
The article analyzes ironic interpretation in extracts from news interviews on British and Israeli television, specifically ironic criticism addressed to breaches of interactional conventions. In doing so, it elaborates on the notion of echoic mention of a prior utterance, thought or norm (e.g. Sperber & Wilson 1981, Wilson & Sperber 1992), and highlights the intrinsic relations it maintains...

Definitions of parody, though they have a common core (work that imitates pretext and at the same time transforms it to make the final effect humorous or critical and polemical), allow for great variability of conceptions...
The article analyzes intertextuality and selected related topics, such as communicative perspective and reference to the subjects of the speaker and the addressee, in the early child speech. It describes the analyzed phenomena at three different stages (when the child is one, two, and three years old) and tries to capture their specificity and basic developmental tendencies. At the beginning, the...
The paper examines the discourse of the Czech weekly talk show Uvolnete se, prosim (Relax, please). For this purpose, we have chosen an interview of the moderator Jan Kraus with the former chairman of the Social Democratic Party of the Czech Republic, Jiri Paroubek, who was invited into the studio on the occasion of his appointment as prime minister in 2005. The analysis focuses on the polyphony of...
The study tries to point out the specificity of intertextual relationships in a philosophical text in which two aspects are reflected – the diversity of a particular discursive community, arising from the complex hierarchy and historical progression of philosophical thinking, and the specificity resulting from the unique personality of the author-philosopher. Using selected works of Jan Patočka, the...
