Summary/Abstract: The basis for these reflections on the ways contact is expressed and relations are formed in correspondence is the material in the forthcoming complete critical edition of the correspondence of Karel Havlíček (Czech Grant Agency — project no. 406/12/0691). The formation of the relationship in an exchange of letters between Karel Havlíček and Fany Weidenhoffer (in the 1840s) is observed in terms of the (a)symmetry of their dialogue; the symmetry being associated mainly with the morphological and lexical elements signifying contact, the asymmetry mainly with language (i.e. Czech) and its use.
