The paper compares and contrasts the use of hyperbole or exaggeration in general spoken Czech and English. The research is based on the analysis of two samples consisting of 100 hyperbolic instances in Czech and 100 instances of hyperbole in English. The Czech sample was randomly taken from the oral part of the Czech National Corpus ORAL2008; the English sample was randomly selected from the “spoken context‑ govern” and “spoken demographic” sections of The British National Corpus. The analysis focuses first on the formal realization of hyperbole in the two samples. Secondly, the occurrences of hyperbole are classified semantically (quantitative versus qualitative hyperbole) and, thirdly, they are examined from the lexico‑ semantic point of view (hyperbolic source domains). By comparing the situation in Czech and English, the study aims to test the hypothesis of universal source domains of hyperbole. Finally, the occurrence of conventionalized instances of hyperbole as opposed to creative instances of hyperbolic nonce‑ usages is investigated. Last but not least, the study provides the overall frequency figures of hyperbole in the spoken form of both languages identified in the samples.
