3 Jak se počítají substantiva v češtině: poznámky ke kategorii čísla JARMILA PANEVOVÁ MAGDA ŠEVČÍKOVÁ How to count nouns in Czech: Remarks on the category of number ABSTRACT: The present contribution deals with the grammatical category of number in Czech nouns. On the basis of empirical investigation, we propose the introduction of a new semantic distinction within the forms of nouns, namely the distinction of a simple quantitative meaning versus a pair/group meaning. There are nouns in Czech that typically refer to a pair or to a (commonly encountered) group of entities, not merely to a large amount of these entities (e.g. ruce arms, vlasy hair, or sirky matches ). These nouns are combined with set numerals rather than with the basic ones. In the paper, we argue that the above mentioned subcategorization is grammaticalized. A brief outline of the expressions of the pair/group meaning in Czech as compared to some other languages (German, English, Slavonic) is also provided. Key words: grammatical category of number, singular, plural, pair/group meaning, nouns, numerals Klíčová slova: gramatická kategorie čísla, singulár, plurál, souborovost, substantiva, číslovky Ústav formální a aplikované lingvistiky MFF UK Malostranské náměstí 25, Praha 1 <panevova@ufal.mff.cuni.cz> <sevcikova@ufal.mff.cuni.cz> Slovo a slovesnost, 72,

4 Diskurzní ironie v českém jazykovém prostředí DOMINIKA POSPÍŠILOVÁ EVA FILIPPOVÁ Discourse irony in Czech ABSTRACT: Discourse irony has recently served as a useful tool for studying the socio-cognitive and socio-communicative underpinnings of communication. Yet, the abundance of its usage across cultures makes the study of its occurrence in everyday discourse a worthwhile undertaking in its own right. The present study examines how Czech speakers (N=54) perceive irony in its different forms and identifies some linguistic characteristics of its usage in Czech. The findings point to important parallels between the usage of irony in Czech and Anglo-American discourse. However, the study also identifies important cultural specifics in the forms of irony gathered from our group of respondents. Respondents tended to mark linguistic categories carrying the core meaning as those likely stressed by an ironist. Consultations with two Czech language corpora failed to confirm that the meaning of irony rests on the emphasis placed on linguistic modifiers. Our findings lead to culture- and context-relevant conclusions about the overt reflective aspects of irony identified by Czech speakers. Key words: discourse/verbal/linguistic irony, Czech language, forms of irony, ironic intent, crosscultural parallels, cultural specifics, sarcasm, hyperbole Klíčová slova: diskurzní/verbální/jazyková ironie, čeština, formy ironie, ironický záměr, mezikulturní paralely, kulturní specifika, sarkasmus, hyperbola Ústav českého jazyka a teorie komunikace FF UK nám.

5 Jiří Homoláč Kamila Mrázková Jazyková regulace jako věc dohody Language regulation as a matter of agreement ABSTRACT: This article, a review of Václav Cvrček s book on language regulation and the Concept of Minimal Intervention (2008), focuses on four main issues. (1) For the most part, Cvrček deals with linguists intervention into language. He pays little attention to the intervention of individuals in real interactions. (2) In Cvrček s opinion, linguists should not present the public with prescriptive codifications, but rather, with descriptive ones. However, there is a more important difference between a reference book, which is presented and/or perceived as an instruction for language behavior, and a hypothetically exhaustive description of a language or its varieties which is neither presented nor perceived as instructive. (3) The authors find the definitions of the concepts of real and declarative attitudes very problematic. (4) Language norms are wrongly equated with the declarative attitudes of speakers towards their language. However, language norms can be neither inferred solely from usage nor reduced to usage. Rather, they consist of language users awareness of the language and its usage, or a set of features of regularly used linguistic means and their combinations. Finally, the authors suggest several specific points which Czech linguists should agree upon before implementing possible regulatory changes into practice.
