1. Locative in Czech: '-U' or '-e'? Choosing Locative Singular Endings in Czech Nouns.

Author

Cummins, George M., III

Abstract

Focuses on the highly developed nominal inflection of literary Czech and its resistance to innovation. This study addresses the status of morphological variation in the contemporary language. The stubborn survival of "e" in a mass of older Slavic vocabulary in Czech is clearly no invention of the national revivalists and grammarians of the last century. (57 references) (CK)

2. Definiteness in Czech

Abstract

A universal of natural language is definiteness, a subcategory of nominal determination. Since Czech lacks an overt article, such as 'the,' discourse-anchored signals such as word order and intonation are used to mark definiteness. To act like the English 'this' or 'that,' Czech uses a deictically neutral determiner 'ten' for definite noun phrases.
