XX
The article focuses on the use of two common collocations in contemporary informal Czech conversations: to je pravda (it is true) and to je fakt (it is a fact). It examines these collocations from a frequency perspective, testing their fixedness and variation in usage among different groups of speakers. It also looks at the different functions of the noun lemmas underlying these collocations. The analysis shows that these collocations are mostly used by younger speakers (up to 35 years) and that they are established collocations, with a specific function in dialogue. These collocations also serve to maintain the positive face of both speakers in reconciling their attitudes towards each other. At the same time, there has been a significant increase in the use of the word fakt as a discourse marker and this may lead to a decline in the use of the collocation to je fakt in dialogue, even though it is more informal, as is reflected in its frequently reduced pronunciation.
