Abstracts

EN

There are two basic types of pride (pýcha) in Czech: “pride-haughtiness” with negative connotations and “pride proper” with positive ones. These two types are closely connected and represent a type of continuum. Metaphors concerning both types of pride in Czech are numerous and form a complex net centred around the following metaphors: pride is a living organism, pride is a power, pride is a liquid or a gas, and pride is an illness.
