V jazyce naše… maskulinita. Případ obrozenského diskurzu
In language our… masculinity. A case of National Revival discourse

Summary/Abstract: It is the aim of this article to examine the relations between the conception of masculinity and the Czech language. This conception can be reconstructed on the basis of academic, journalistic and artistic National Revival texts. This research focuses on the period in which fundamental changes were taking place in European thinking on language and gender order. The article attempts to prove that on the basis of statements made on language, much can be learnt of the way in which Czech National Revivalists conceived their own masculinity. The question is foregrounded whether Czech was perceived as a language that was so masculine that it could even guarantee the conceived masculinity of its male users.
