Ortografické výskumy a pravopisné reformy v časopise Slovenská reč
Orthographic Research and Spelling Reforms in the Slovenská reč Journal

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we focus on contributions mainly aimed at spelling and orthographic conceptions in Slovak, published from the beginning of the Slovenská reč journal until the present. We predominantly deal with the problems of orthography, which is often inevitably interconnected with other spheres of language. Some topics from the field of Slovak orthography were treated in a complex manner, others, on the contrary, offered partial views on system deviations or dealt only with partial phenomena. Along with a number of specifically-oriented articles, contributors from the field of orthography especially paid attention to the writing of prefixes s- and z-, the usage of graphemes y and i, and the writing of capital letters in namings of a differentiated type. A substantial body of research focuses on papers concerning adopting and adaptation of words and their spelling in Slovak. Many articles were parts of discussions related to the preparation of orthographic conceptions and also the Rules of Slovak Spelling in 1931, 1940, 1953 and 1991.
