Among the ancient rhetorical figures there was no allusion though undoubtedly, it constitutes a kind of figure. Aposiópesis and parosiópesis seem to be the closest to it because they take into consideration keeping silent and a concealment. From the newer subject literature, especially the work of K. Górski 'Literary Allusion' (1984) is worth one's attention. According to the author, 'any allusion is talking about an object without mentioning it in a clear way'. The theory of allusion is enriched by the works of J. Rokoszowa about keeping silent and K. Pisarkowa about concealments. The author of the latter work decided to investigate the process of allusion communication in concrete texts. In an unliterary allusion that took place during a telephone conversation of certain criminal procedure participants, a huge role was performed by pronouns as substitutive names of objects that were in a con-situation and that were subject to a penal proceeding. In the literary allusion documented with the examples from Czeslaw Milosz's poetry, one could see references to commonly known works from an external context. The author defines an allusion as a semantic stylistic figure based on double meaning. The signs expressing an allusion are characterized by different degrees of explicitness. The process of allusion making is selective and therefore, it can be stylistically marked.

These days, Topol’s novel Sestra (Sister) is already considered as an authoritative text that belongs to the most significant Czech prosaic works of the 20th century and represents its author’s attitude to the canon of contemporary cultural heritage since it tells „the story of our experience”, including its literary and cultural aspects. At the same time it is one of the most important texts within the Czech literature referring to the canon, that is, to the rules of forming a post-modern text. The book was written in 1990’s, when post-modernism in Czech literature reached its peak. As all such texts, it evinces features of post-modern writing not only at the ideological level, evident while unfolding the thematic line through multi-layer character of numerous stories, but also in the text structure. The rich network of inter-textual references to which this chapter focuses on is one of the most striking features of this structure. Here we describe certain types of signals that refer to pretexts and grammatical, stylistic and structural changes that occur while author uses pretext in his prose and when individual allusions are engaged. The analysis notices between so-called playful allusions and those that play substantial roles in building the meaning of Topol’s prose. In the second group we find namely biblical allusions, some of which we describe while characterizing so-called onomastic allusions. We conclude with the description of processes that occur when the author incorporates other texts in his own text.

The study tries to point out the specificity of intertextual relationships in a philosophical text in which two aspects are reflected – the diversity of a particular discursive community, arising from the complex hierarchy and historical progression of philosophical thinking, and the specificity resulting from the unique personality of the author-philosopher. Using selected works of Jan Patočka, the paper deals with the ways in which intertextuality is manifested, and with the rate of distinctness of intertextual relationships and the extent of specificity and delimitation of individual elements of pretext in a particular type of texts. Based on specific textual material, it analyzes the means of intertextuality – namely quotations, allusions, the functioning of proper nouns, and the ambiguity of italics and quotation marks. Through this detailed analysis, the paper reveals the sense of the author’s intertextual instructions and the involvement of intertextual elements in forming a philosophical conception oriented toward phenomenology. The main text analyzed is the fourth chapter of Patočka’s book The Natural World as a Philosophical Problem, entitled Sketch for a philosophy of language and speech, in which Patočka presents his philosophical reflections on language.
