O zjawisku kontaminacji we współczesnym języku czeskim: charakterystyka strukturalna
On the phenomenon of contamination in contemporary Czech: structural characteristics

Summary/Abstract: This paper is devoted to Czech lexical innovations resulting from the process of contamination. Its main objective is to present the results of an analysis of 205 lexical units extracted from publications Hacknutá čeština 2.0. Neortodoxní slovník dnešní materštiny. The article, intended as a preliminary part of a broader study of the phenomenon in question, will be presenting the results of the study on the structure of the counter-examination units and the problems with its unambiguous reading. The framework of this publication does not allow for the presentation of all 205 units extracted, so only examples will be referred to in order to present each structural type. The material presented here shows the dynamic development of contemporaneous structures in modern Czech and their variety. Its extension to the analysis of further units that have not been taken into account in the published dictionary, but are still being supplemented in its open electronic version at https://cestina20.cz/ may bring new structural solutions and help to verify the quantitative analysis of the models discussed in this article.
