On A. Stich’s Analysis of Other Author’s Interference with Božena Němcová’s Letters

Summary/Abstract: The contribution discusses Stich’s analyses of B. Němcová’s letters to so-called unknown addressee (Stich, 1976; Stich, Dovětek o Valhale, 2011: 153–156.). It views Stich’s argumentation as grounded in a specific version of the part-whole image schema, especially the fact that the author expects the parts of the whole to be relatively homogenous and that he treats them as if they existed all at once, without a diachronic perspective. It also shows that some polemical reactions to Stich’s analyses may be triggered by these specific features of the part-whole image schema.
