An ellipse, parabola and hyperbola are the curve that can be obtained as the plane section of cone; there are characterizations, one of which is by means of the focus and directrix property. The golden ellipse or the golden hyperbola is the curve, which has golden eccentricity.

This study concerns an integral topic of psycholinguistic research in reading comprehension — understanding selected aspects of cohesion. It is based on an English study by Yuill and Oakhill (1988) which we replicated in the Czech environment. We investigated the comprehension of three types of anaphora (reference, lexical cohesion and ellipsis) in children aged 7 to 8. Our main concern was describing how solving the task of identifying antecedents of anaphora in a story depends on the type of anaphora, on the distance of the antecedent of the anaphora and on the children’s reading level. It was discovered that successful identification of the antecedent positively correlated with the reading level. The most difficult identification of the antecedent was generally found to be in their immediate proximity. Differences between scores for the individual anaphora types were not statistically significant. Due to the absence of relevant data concerning the acquisition of cohesion, this research offers the first experimental insight into this topic.

This paper presents the first qualitative analysis of the Czech causal construction protože X ‘because X’. First, against the backdrop of a number of earlier analyses of equivalent constructions in English, German, and Dutch, the article discusses the variability of the X slot of the Czech construction. Second, it is argued that although some instances of the construction are definitely elliptical, others are not, and generally categorising protože X as a case of ellipsis is therefore inadequate. The crucial distinction is made between reconstructing an ellipsis and expanding a non-ellipsis. Third, a brief sketch of the diachrony of the construction is presented. It is suggested that non-elliptical protože X constructions developed out of elliptical clauses with protože ‘because’. These elliptical instances of protože X can be found as early as in the 19th century. Finally, the Czech construction protože X is compared with its equivalents in English, German, and Dutch. Finally, further research questions are suggested.
