Szkice z dialektologii języka czeskiego. 1. Stratyfikacja czeskiego języka narodowego

Abstract

The present article introduces the stratification of the Czech national language by means of the enumeration of its varieties. The functional styles of literary Czech, including colloquial standard Czech, are mentioned, but also its colloquial varieties – interdialects (Common Czech), dialects and sociolects. The author also attempts to give a characterization of commonly spoken Czech language (everyday Czech). She compares the Czech language situation with the situation of the Polish national language and uses Polish and Czech linguistic (dialectological) terminology.
