Czech dialectology: Selected results and achievements

Abstract

This article is devoted to the development of the Czech dialectology and to the activities of the Department of Dialectology of the Czech Language Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

The Department of Dialectology in Brno systematically examines traditional territorial dialects. Between 1992 and 2011 six volumes of the Czech Linguistic Atlas were published. Since 2011, Czech dialectologists have been working on the Dictionary of Czech Dialects. The dictionary is being created in a special computer programme. The dictionary captures the dialect lexicon in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia over the past ca. 150 years. An electronic version of the Dictionary has been available since 2016. The Department of Dialectology is a team member of The Slavic Linguistic Atlas project. In 2019 Czech dialectologists prepared the volume Reflexes *tort, *tolt, *tert, *telt, *ort, *olt for publication.
