The research topic is examined in the following particular topics: 1) constructing Old Czech language (in the sense 'pretending to be authentic') in the modern fiction, films and marketing texts, 2) thematization (in the way of etymologization, interpretation, re-semantization) of proper names in the fiction (novel, travel writing) and opinion-journalism (political speeches). The project examines the original topics that have not been elaborated in Czech linguistics yet; the analysis is based on varied texts of different genres. The project planned outputs are: 5 articles, 1 chapter in a monograph, 3 MA thesis, 5 conference papers. |
