Vícejazyčnost literárního života v českých zemích 14. a 15. století. Sedm tematických exkurzů v rámci bohemistiky
The multilingual nature of literary life in the Czech lands in the 14th and 15th centuries. Seven thematic excursions within Czech studies

Summary/Abstract: Seven short case studies chart the issues surrounding multilingualism in 14th and 15th century Bohemical literature: I) Czech as a “corpus delicti”, II) The alternation of Czech and German in the Latin language context, III) Multilingualism in practice: between polylingualism and linguistic interference, IV) Multilingualism: mise en forme and mise en page, V) Mélange as a poetic technique, VI) Multilingualism as a literary motif, VII) Literary history versus Bohemical multilingual literature. In addition to the relations between Latin, Czech and German, the author also takes into account Hebrew, Polish, Slovak and Old Church Slavonic, drawing attention inter alia to the need to correct blanket statements about trilingual literary life in the medieval Czech lands.
