The paper first describes Czech verbal nouns and Russian event nominals in -ние (-тие). Despite many formal similarities, the position of these nouns in the systems of the Czech and Russian languages respectively is different — they are assigned to non-finite verbal forms in Czech and to event nominals in Russian. The aim of this paper is to focus on the contrastive examination of these nouns and to present a corpus-based study of the equivalents of Czech verbal nouns in Russian. The analysis showed that nominals in -ние (-тие) have a specific position among the Russian event nominals and that at least some of them retain the verbal potential. Russian event nominals in -ние (-тие) exhibit the highest frequency among the equivalents of Czech verbal nouns. Both languages prefer to use these nouns in certain contexts (e. g. to express verbal process). The position of Czech verbal nouns in the verbal system is significant; the actively used non-finite verbal forms are participles and verbal nouns, i. e. forms which relate to existing part-of-speech paradigms. Consequently, nonfinite verbal functions can be expressed in Czech by means that are not contrary to morphological regularities of the inflectional type.

The article deals with the issue of a new translation of V. V. Mayakovsky’s poems into Czech. It summarizes some basic facts about the author, his poems and poetics, it assesses the previous Czech translations made by Jiří Taufer, and above all it discusses various problems connnected with a new translation of Mayakovsky’s poetry into Czech. It reflects on what the translator needs to do (1) to meet the horizon of expectation of the translation’s readers (in case of Czech translation of Mayakovsky there are two kinds of potential readers: those acquainted with Taufer’s Czech translations, and new readers, unacquainted with V. V Mayakovsky’s poetry and its Czech version in general), and (2) how the translator needs to proceed especially in the aesthetic plan when creating a translation that would have the same qualities as the original text.

This study introduces a cross-linguistic investigation of Do-constructions in Chinese, Russian and Czech, focusing especially on Do-construction strategies in Czech. The DO-construction in this study refers to a predicate-argument structure comprising the light verb ‘to do’, and a predicate deverbal noun, which is a noun derived from a verb or verbal phrase. Chinese, Russian and Czech align in manifesting a cross-language functional construal where predication rests upon the semantic content of the accusative argument denoting action events that are of interest in communication. A corpus analysis of the linguistic properties of the constructions across speaking and writing attested that Do-constructions in Chinese are more productive than those of Russian and Czech. However, the corpus data also show that the light uses of the Czech verb ‘to do’ are predominant compared with its full uses. Therefore, this study further focuses on one of the light uses of the Czech verb ‘to do’, which is with predicate deverbal nouns.

Subjective resultatives (SR) are constructed from intransitive verbs that denote a change of state. In Czech, a participle in -l- is often used. Russian is said to have only very restricted SR as most intransitive non-reflexive verbs do not form a “passive” participle in n-/t. Indeed, in parallel texts from the Czech National Corpus, Russian very often uses other constructions where Czech uses a SR construction. However, the evidence also shows that at least in some cases Russian past active participles in -(в)ш- can be found in SR constructions. This formal type has been practically omitted in the literature so far. Evidence from the Russian National Corpus indicates that semantically it seems rather close to Czech SR. Its productivity, restrictions and other parameters will have to be subject to further investigation — as well as many aspects of Czech subjective resultatives.

The continuing interest in the artistic word reveals all the new aspects of the study of the writers’ language, the methods of usage of the linguistic units in their works. This article brings together in one focus several problems: the study of the language creativity of N.S. Leskov, manifested in the creation of unforgettable speech portraits of characters, who, in search of expressiveness, realize their creative abilities, using already known words and expressions or creating the new ones. Occasional expressions, used to achieve maximum expressiveness and intensity of the transmitted value, can be read in the same text in different ways. The multiple transformation of stable expressions is especially typical for the writer, therefore it is difficult not only to interpret the author’s phraseology in Leskov’s works, but also to translate. The Czech translators using the principle of functional similarity try to keep ways of usage of the units created by the author and to inform the reader of expressivity, emotional sounding and esthetic functions of the original.

The article analyzes certain lexical units of the Russian and French languages which function as semantic and morphological derivatives of ethnonyms and macrotoponyms: in Russian - derivatives of the ethnonyms француз, галл and toponyms Франция, Париж; in French - derivatives of the words Russe, Russien ´Russian´, Cosaque ´Cossack´ to ´a Russian soldier´ to ´Russian´, Moscou ´Moscow´, Moscovite (archaic) ´an inhabitant of Muscovy, Russian´. Additionally, the article focuses on set expressions containing the above-mentioned words. Considering this material, the authors conduct a contrastive study of cultural and linguistic images of the French and the Russians (in Russian and French, respectively). The article studies the following thematic spheres of secondary semantics: „Character traits, behaviour“; „Diseases“; „Appearance“; „Language“; „The quality of life, welfare“; „History“. The authors reveal the motivation of language facts, analyze the evaluative components in their meaning and draw conclusions about the main patterns in the development of the images of the nations in question.

The article focuses on the Russian personal name Ivan in comparison with Polish Jan and French Jean. Based on an analysis of secondary appellative derivatives of these names in the Russian, Polish (including Kashubian) and French (including Occitan) dialects and colloquial languages, the authors reconstruct the ethno-cultural portraits of prototypical bearers of these names in corresponding languages. The analysis shows that the Russian Ivan, whose name often serves as a symbol of „russianess“, has very few specific features as compared to his French and Polish „brothers“. This conclusion leads to the question on ethnolinguistic mechanisms of derivation from personal names which, in the perspective of the contrastive study of deonyms, seem to be relatively universal.
