This paper explores to what extent salience is a reliable predictor of second dialect acquisition (SDA). I apply a salience-based approach, according to which the adoption or rejection of a number of linguistic forms is determined by their (socio)linguistic properties, to data from a study of the accommodation of university students from Moravia living in Prague (Wilson 2010). Linguists have tested a salience approach in the analysis of language change, dialect levelling and long-term linguistic accommodation, advancing a set of criteria according to which linguistic features are considered “salient” or “non-salient”. I advance a framework for evaluating the salience of six Common Czech (CC) forms and test its effectiveness in predicting which, and to what degree, CC forms are assimilated. I argue that salience alone cannot explain the direction of accommodation or the intensity of SDA and that it is overridden by numerous external factors that are related both to the linguistic variables and to individual speakers.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the intralinguistic factors which influence the usage of prothetic v- in the Prague vernacular. The analysis is based on linguistic interviews (each approximately 1 hour long) with 18 native Prague vernacular speakers between 20 and 30 years old. The material comprises a total of 3359 instances of the variable. Based on a binomial mixed model, it is concluded that the usage of v- is best explained by these predictors: gender, token length (counted in phonemes), prefixation, word class, the position of the variable (at the beginning vs. inside the word) and borrowedness of the word. On the other hand, phonological variables did not show any effect. A comparison of these data with the data from a study by Pavel Jančák (1974) suggests that the usage of v- in the Prague vernacular is on the slow decline.

The paper discusses the competition between standard and non-standard varieties of Czech in teaching the language to foreigners, with a focus on two basic areas: first, there is the controversial question of colloquial speech as characterized by the increasing use of Common Czech, and second, there is the question whether and to what extent it is advisable to familiarize non-native students of Czech with nonstandard varieties of the language. The paper takes into account the fact that the internal diversity of Czech influences basic principles of how to present Czech to non-native speakers. The main goals are to discuss the appropriateness of using a non-standard language code when teaching Czech to foreigners, and to evaluate selected textbooks from this point of view. On this basis, the authors put forth methodological recommendations concerning the use of non-standard phenomena in language classes as well as their use in Czech textbooks for foreigners. Not only do these aspects have a considerable impact on practical teaching but they are also a central problem today in the spheres of Czech for foreigners and Czech as a foreign language.
