The author analyses on time axis the opinions of the linguists on the pronunciation of soft consonant “ľ “. He monitors also their approaches to the codification of its pronunciation in The Rules of the Slovak Orthography. From the synchronic point of view and in the background of the diachronic dynamics, he registers the tension between a codified norm and usage. He states that articulatory-acoustic convergence of the consonants l – ľ is conditioned by historical, sociolinguistic, administrative-legal and subjective reasons. The author expects on the basis of this analysis that a discussion about dual pronunciation of soft consonant ľ will be actual and legitimate, as Ľudovít Novák considered in the thirties. The tension between the norm and the usage is impossible to solve by administrative steps or legal orders. External interventions in the language have to be very sensitive and well thought-out.

The hyphenation represents a marginal chapter in the standard orthography of the Slovak. The description of the issue is still considered as sufficient, but survey on the attitudes of language users indicates that the rules are characterized, for example, by insufficient explanatory components or the absence of a dictionary of hyphenation in Slovak language. Such a dictionary would be highly beneficial for school or publication. The users´ point of view also confirms the importance of variability in Slovak orthography. The research was realised on the basis of material from the on-line language counselling platforms.

The author deals with works of Henrich Bartek on Slovak language that were written in Bartek's exile after 1945. Special attention is paid to the analysis of Bartek's work 'Novy pravopis slovensky' (New Slovak Orthography) written in 1954 in response to the publication of the new Slovak Orthography (Pravidla slovenskeho pravopisu) in 1953. The author of this paper evaluates Bartek's linguistic work in a wider cultural and political context of the second third of 20th century.

The paper presents new research in the field of Slovak orthography. One of the aims of the research project is to create such orthographic norms that will respond to the current and objective language problems of language users. The aim of the paper is to initiate a discussion about the topic. The starting point for the research lies in the reflection of the previous Slovak orthographic norms and in the reflection of their ideological background. It is also necessary to focus on the pragmatic side of orthographic phenomena. Last but not least, it is important to realize a target group which the norms are addressed to and which the norms will be verified in. There is a need to get to know language users through their language attitudes. Traditionally, it is important focus on the relation of language system, norm and usage (praxis) as well as the issue of the orthographic criterions.

The paper deals with the orthographic rules and principles of writing capital and small initial letters in individual words in multi-word toponyms. The author focuses on the characteristic of toponomastic terms according to the types of objects they name, but especially on the principles and problematic cases of writing capital letters in multi-word anoikonyms (minor place-names) resulting from their adaptation to the literary form in lexicographical processing and from the process of their standardization by the Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre Authority of the Slovak Republic. The paper also presents suggestions for changes in the Slovak orthographic rules that could solve these problems and would simplify writing capital letters in toponyms for ordinary language users.
