The pragmatic aspect of lexical meaning can have a specific function in some lexical units; e.g. the excessive use of both demonstrative verbs and diminutives is a characteristic feature of the Czech (or Moravian) folk song. The function of the pragmatic part of their lexical meaning is - in comparison with other texts - modified: these linguistic components function primarily as a signal of the genre itself.

The study deals with the question of stress-based prominence assigned to the Czech demonstrative pronoun ‘ten’ (meaning ‘this’ or ‘that’ or even ‘the’) in certain contexts. While the default production of the pronoun is unstressed, there are some semantically defined situations in which is stressed form of the pronoun seems more appropriate. The analysis of such situations and a speech production experiment were carried out to form and possibly support hypotheses about the use of the stressed form. The results suggest that natives speakers of Czech posses the sensitivity to differentiate between ‘classifying’ and ‘discerning’ contexts and manifest this relatively consistently in their speech by assigning prosodic salience to the demonstrative pronoun ‘ten’ and by deaccenting the first syllable of the following noun.
This study deals with issues of determiners in different types of nominal anaphora in Spanish and Czech. It analyzes the choice between demonstratives and the definite article in Spanish. As there is no definite article in Czech, speakers choose between demonstratives and the noun without any determiner. Our goal is to identify the factors that influence the choice of determiners in both languages and the similarities and differences between them. The results show that the situation in both languages is complex and that the definite article in Spanish sometimes corresponds to the null-determiner in Czech and sometimes to a demonstrative.
