Description: The manual (all in English) describes in detail the very grammar of contemporary Czech language. The textbook focuses on morphology, syntax and word formation fundamentals, contains many illustrative examples
This is styled an ‘essential’ grammar, and is certainly not anything like
a comprehensive grammar (mluvnice) of Czech (aee tina) – the Czech
language (aeskp jazyk), with its strong tradition of writing from the late
thirteenth century onwards.
All kinds of choices have had to be made – especially about what to
exclude! – either simply for reasons of space, or in order to try not to
overburden readers who may still be at an elementary level in their
knowledge of the language. (The dangers of over-simplification are of
course ever-present, and the author is all too aware that he may have
succumbed to these at times – he hopes not too often.)
Efforts have been made to separate the basic, core elements from
those which are less central and vital.
Presentation of morphology (declension and conjugation) has been
interspersed with material on usage. A work designed for trained
linguists would arrange this material somewhat differently, no doubt,
but it is hoped that the approach adopted here will be helpful to the
general reader as well as informative for the more academic scholar.
I have tried to take account of readers’ likely unfamiliarity with
various grammatical categories, and with linguistic terminology.
Czech grammatical terms have been infiltrated into the text as well,
for those who go on to encounter them in their further studies or hear
them from their teachers.
The author has no particular theoretical or systematic approach to offer
– this may or may not be a weakness. He has simply tried to steer a
reasonably pragmatic course through the often thorny jungle of this
language – wielding, as he hopes, a not too crude machete in his fist
