Possibility of identifying a new Czech conjugation type called přát

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the possibility of identifying a new conjugation type within the Czech language, the so called přát type. The proposal of complementing verb classificationsalready existing in the Czech linguistics aims at improving methods of teaching grammarof Czech as a foreign language. Thanks to delineating the přát type and comparing itsparadigm to those of other verbs – both synchronically and diachronically – it is possibleto systemically approach a number of issues problematic from the point of view of a foreignlearner, yet beyond the interest of authors of Czech grammar books and textbooks.A special focus is placed on quantitative alternations in verb roots, which are the basis forseparating the new přát type from the krýt type, earlier distinguished by Czech linguists.The most important findings are summarized in a numbered list and in a table, whichcan be used as a teaching tool when working with learners of Czech as a foreign language.
