Abstracts

This article tries to give an answer to a frequently asked question: how (and how much) is contemporary Czech influenced with the processes of European integration? The authors have had recently an opportunity to analyse a great number of official administrative texts that had been translated into Czech (mostly from English) by the members of the group of translators who work in Luxemburg as a service for the European Parliament. This analysis confirmed the conviction of Czech translators in Luxemburg: the main problem is not a great amount of loanwords in Czech but rather an ambition of translators to find always a Czech word (a new “purism”); and than a highly complicated composition of sentences.
