Valence partikulí na základě dat z Pražského mluveného korpusu
Valency of particles based on Prague Spoken Corpus

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with valency properties of particles in common spoken Czech. It is based on the material from the Prague Spoken Corpus (PSC), the first Czech spoken corpus. After a brief introduction of the input corpus material and the main results of the survey, it focuses on the description of the valency of particles, i.e. their ability to bind to other words in a sentence, or to a sentence as a whole, which is closely related to their place in the sentence order. Further focus is on the accumulation of particles within a sentence: from the syntactic point of view, it may be mainly textual, capturing only randomly repeating textual combinations of two or more particles next to each other, or systemic, which results in multiword particles. However, both kinds of processes point to combinatorial possibilities of particles. Finally, the immediate surroundings of all particles that occur in PSC is presented.
