Kodifikovaná plurálová shoda neuter v nominativu a akuzativu: mizející realita?

Abstract

been one of the weak points of the Standard Czech morphology at least since the 1800s. At least since the early 1980s the only codified form (ta velká mìsta zanikla) has been regarded by many speakers and even by many bohemists as too „bookish” whereas the Colloquial Czech form used in informal style in Bohemia (ty velký mìsta zanikly) has still retained a high degree of colloquiality and the Moravian form (ty velké mìsta zanikly) doesn’t meet with general acceptance in Bohemia (according to sociolinguistic research). This paper aims to answer the question to what extent the codified form of neuter plural agreement is applied in present-day TV interviews. The examined specimen contains 200 recordings of the Interview ÈT24 show. The 200 interviewees are celebrities from political and social walks of life.
