The paper examines the activity of E. Jona in the field of language culture. The analysis is concentrated on two fields, firstly, on the practical problems of language culture, secondly, on the evaluation of the complete language situation from the thirties up to the eighties of the 20th century. The practical sphere is covered especially by those papers which were published in the periodical Slovenska rec. Some older papers are not relevant to current language situation, but a great number of them solve questions, which are problematic even nowadays. Very important is the opinion of E. Jona for the question on language correctness or incorrectness. He was persuaded that there is no sufficient only linguists opinion; but very important is a contemporary language usage and also dialects, which are to be taken into the consideration. Further, the paper reflects the views of E. Jona for the complicated language situation after 1945. He believed that forced tendencies to convergences and divergences in the past caused damage to the nation and to the language as well. Several of these problems are topical also nowadays.

This paper is based on a principle that the language is always in a continuation with its previous state. The Historical Dictionary of Slovak Language, whose seventh volume was finished in the 2008, can be seen as a clear evidence of this. The dictionary includes a vocabulary from pre-literary period, i.e. from 11th up to 18th century, until the first Slovak literary language codification performed by Anton Bernolak. The authoress of the paper provides an analysis of the vocabulary of pre-literary period as well as characteristics of the Slovak language starting off an occurrence of Slovakims in the Latin texts and ending up with the Slovak language pre-literary forms, the so-called Cultural Slovak of 16th - 18th centuries. The paper also presents influences of several other languages such as Czech, Latin and German etc. on Slovak. Furthermore, the authoress compares the whole anterior period of Slovak language development with a contemporary period, showing the similarities as well as differences.
