Výraz což v současné psané češtině
On the word což in contemporary written Czech

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of the research project aimed at identifying different parts of speech functions of the Czech expression což in contemporary Czech written texts. The function of a relative pronoun proved to be significantly dominant: Přišel sám, což mě překvapilo (He came alone, which surprised me). Other functions, like a particle or an interjection, are much less common (only about 2 % of occurences display them). The word což appears as a particle only in a few stable collocations: Což takhle dát si čaj? (What about having tea?); Což o to, já jim věřím, ale… (Oh, I believe them, but…). The author deals mainly with the status of the pronoun což within the Czech relative pronoun system, the frequency of its case forms and various reference types. The main language material source of the research was the representative corpus of contemporary written Czech SYN 2015.
