Stur's grammatical work is here evaluated 1) in respect to the earlier grammatical studies, 2) in respect to the contemporary linguistics, 3) as an important link in the chain of the development of the Slovak linguistic research. Even if his work partly continues the earlier Slovak grammatical tradition, its conception surpasses it, as it already exhibits marks of the then pullulating diachronic comparative linguistics. The focus of Stur's work lies in the codification of the standard Slovak language. It is the fundament sustaining the following development of the language.

This paper deals with the opposition between the “natural” and the “artificial” cultivation of the standard language. The author gives arguments in favour of the standpoint that adequate regulation of the standard language requires taking into consideration its character. He defends the thesis about authentic cultivation of this language, i.e. about the “genuin” linguistic activities causing adaptation changes in the language or acting against changes. This cultivation supports the autonomous character of the behavioural linguistic competence, and in this way also the tendency at asserting endogenous linguistic standards. It means the supporting of the development of linguistic activities within the spirit of their rationality and in the name of the expansion of the linguistic comfort in communication life. Such cultivation supports the optimization of the interaction of linguistic behaviour (behavioural linguistic competence) and linguistic activities (action-based linguistic competence), hence the optimal functioning of the intentional-emergent mechanism governing linguistic activities.

The article gives an analytical overview of outputs focused on theories of standard language and language culture, published in the Slovenská reč journal. The aim of the paper is to provide an analysis of the development of the theories in the form of a commented summary of relevant theoretical approaches providing fundamental findings with regard to the state of the art in the given period or possible concepts for the development of the theory under study. In this respect, the article is divided in accordance with the time periods of: (a) 1930s and 1940s, (b) from 1950s to 1980s, (c) from 1990s to the present. Within these periods, the author pays special attention to the key contributions, authors’ concepts and current thematic controversies that tended to determine the focus of continuing debates, or were important landmarks in the improvement of the research in the field. The analysis shows that the line of development of theoretical thinking in the field of the Slovak standard language and its culture finds its main supporting points in specific theoretical conceptions of prominent representatives of Slovak linguistics throughout the whole period.

This paper, which came into being as part of a wider monographic project, explores the functional and aesthetic dimensions of the use of the local dialect of Radošina in the work of the prominent Slovak playwright Stanislav Štepka and in the productions of the Radošina Naive Theatre. Štepka is very closely attached to Radošina. Radošina is a source of inspiration for him; he deals both with its positive and negative features. It can be assumed – and understandably so – that Štepka also uses dialect for other authorial purposes. The dialect of Radošina and standard Slovak constitute the basic dichotomy of Štepka’s literary productions. However, it is not a perfect dichotomy based on the assumption that the two languages are separate entities. Štepka’s dialect of Radošina and Slovak meet and overlap in his texts: they may occur within one play, either each spoken by a different character or both within the same character’s speech act. In order to produce a comic effect, Radošina theatre players like to put them in contrast, thus connecting other heterogeneous or mutually exclusive elements: low/high, popular/official, colloquial/literary, slang/standard, Slovak/foreign (Slovak Hungarian), kitschy/aesthetically valuable, romantic/occupational, kind-hearted/malicious, denotative/connotative, concrete/abstract. These elements are juxtaposed in the text. Free transitions from one extreme to the other within each dichotomy result in the blabber of individual characters, which is one of the most typical features of Radošina theatre productions. It creates the effect of free speech, full of unexpected ideas, puns and absurd nonsense, when each of the characters says whatever is on his mind, thus characterizing himself and contributing to the overall meaning of the production. The decipherment of these puns is not at all low-class entertainment but an intellectual play which can be fully enjoyed only by a viewer that is well-oriented and perceptive and that understands all the semantic levels that the author mediates through his characters in great numbers and with persistence and nonchalance.

Znovu o literární češtině Milana Kundery

EN
This article is a reaction to the text by Z. Kufnerova (2008), in which the author presents 24 types of mistakes she found in two novels by Milan Kundera. The author of this article attempts to put forth theoretical and empirical arguments in favor of Kundera's literary Czech and against the above-mentioned critique by Kufnerova. For example, Kufnerova criticizes Kundera for occasionally placing the focus of the sentence in the middle as opposed to at the end, as is required by contemporary Czech's word-order norm. However, this is a highly simplified view, and the topic-focus articulation of the sentence operates in a much more complicated manner in reality. In the opinion of the author of this article, most of the points of criticism by Kufnerova toward Kundera are unwarranted, stemming from insufficient theoretical knowledge of language and its communicative scope.

Normálny stav normy spisovného jazyka

EN
The author poses the question of when the norm of the standard language is in a normal state. This state correlates with a normal state of the users of this language which is based on a genuine feeling of normality. This feeling originates in a basic socialization situation in which an individual acquires a language norm as well as other types of standardization in a natural way. When the 'artificial' standard language appeared, individuals found themselves in a socialization situation in which a language user could not rely on the genuine feeling of normality alone. However, the democratization of the standard language creates conditions for a 'historical' revitalization of the normal state of the user. Still, the revitalization of this state is, in a retarding manner, influenced by an attitude of standardized acceptance towards the codified norm, which is connected with an artificial feeling of normality. The suggestion of normality typical for each standardization has a particularly strong influence. Moreover, from the position of codification, the users are under pressure to enforce the rational perception of the standard language. This pressure leads to the standardization of a 'slave-like' dependence of users on the untouchable nature of a codified norm.

Pražská škola: názorová univerzália a specifika

The Prague Linguistic Circle developed from a free platform for discussions into a well organized group of scholars sharing certain basic principles. The School's teaching consisted in the integration of three complementary concepts: structure, function, and sign (cf. P. Steiner, 1976). This paper discusses the implementation of these concepts by the Prague linguists, mainly the central members of the Circle (Mathesius, Jakobson, Trnka, Havranek, Karcevskij, Mukarovsky). Because the members of the group were distinct individuals, their implementation of these principles showed a great variety of opinion. Specific differences may be found on the horizontal axis (between individuals or groupings) as well as on the vertical one (evolution of common principles or the opinions of individuals). This paper deals with opinion divergences in: 1. the treatment of the notion of functionalism (the sophisticated teleological treatment by R. Jakobson vs. the common-sense one by V. Mathesius), 2. the approach to the phenomenon of Standard Language (rather rationalistically by B. Havranek et al. vs. V. Mathesius' view of language 'as a living organism' and emphasis on the expressive and emotional functions), 3. the apprehension and evaluation of artistic literature (J. Mukarovsky's highly sophisticated and abstract aesthetic conception vs. V. Mathesius's humanistic and moralizing view).
