Paměti Františka Jana Vaváka jako filologický pramen // František Jan Vavák’s Memoirs as a philological source

Abstract

Vavák’s Memoirs, written in 1770–1816, can serve by dint of their significance and their scope to describe the development of Czech at that time. The article evaluates the content and language modifications in their modern edition and follows and suggests the use of their language material in grammar books, dictionaries, lexical databases and text corpuses.
