The text of the Itinerarium Antonini Placentini, the anonymous account of a travel to the Holy Land dated to ca. 570 AD, is transmitted by two main families of manuscripts: the recensio prior (α), represented by the Sangallensis 133 (G), 8th–9th cent., and the Rhenaugiensis (R), 9th cent. and the recensio altera (β), preserved in several manuscripts. There is broad consensus among scholars that the Latin of (β) largely results from a later normalization in Carolingian times. It is disputed, instead, whether the original text is better preserved in G, which often ‘deviates’ from standard Latin, or in R, which is much closer to classical canons. In our paper, we will concentrate on noun morphology and on the treatment of final m. Through the presentation of statistical data and the discussion of selected examples, we shall show that, although G occasionally modifies the text of its archetype, several morphological errors occurring in it may be put down to the author himself. Conversely, R displays a clear tendency to correct the text. Additionally, we will claim that the frequent use, in G, of the endings a and as in the accusative singular and nominative plural, respectively, of feminine names are likely to reflect the gradual extension of a casus unicus, which is also found in Romance.

The paper deals with words that precede the noun in the nominative form in Czech. It evaluates them in terms of parts of speech with regard to the functions that these words realize. It focuses on words of non-Czech origin that are classified (more or less traditionally) as nominative prepositions (kontra, versus, à la, via). It analogously treats other words from Czech which perform similar functions in the sentence. The author poses the question of whether it is theoretically possible for a preposition to be associated with the nominative, to determine it, to demand it. The answer is negative. The author concludes that the contra versus expressions are not prepositions, but conjunctions, and proposes that other verbal forms should be evaluated as particles. Some can be considered text structuring particles (ad, viz ‘see’, srov. ‘cf.’), others prenominative particles (via). The function of these words is to be a signal of nominative for naming, which is effective in communication.

In some cases a predicate formed by a copulative verb být (to be) and a noun in nominative case may be expressed in two different agreement forms in past tense: that is either with the noun in position of a subject (Ten film byl pohádka), or with the noun forming a verbo-nominal predicate (Ten film byla pohádka). For an easier distinction of the grammar role of these nouns, especially in scholarly and journalistic texts, a noun in nominative case represents a subject and a noun in instrumental case represents a predicative noun.

CS

V případě predikátu, který tvoří sponové sloveso být a jméno v nominativu, dochází k situacím, kdy je v komunikaci možná dvojí shoda predikátového slovesa v minulém čase, a to buď se jménem v roli subjektu (Ten film byl pohádka), nebo se jménem, kteří tvoří verbonominální predikát (Ten film byla pohádka). Z důvodu snadnějšího odlišení gramatické role obou jmen se zejména v odborném textu a v publicistice ponechá jméno v subjektu v nominativu a „přísudkové jméno“ figuruje v instrumentálu.
