| Summary: | This paper gives an overview of the classification of Czech dialects, reflecting two fundamental stages in the development of Czech dialectology, both of which can be assigned to isoglottic dialectology. The first classifications were based on registration and description of isolated (mostly phonological and morphological) phenomena on the basis of a historical principle. This period, characterized by the cooperation between dialectology and ethnography, is represented by Alois Vojtěch Šembera (1864), František Bartoš (1886, 1895), Josef Vavřinec Dušek (1896) and František Trávníček (1924, 1926). In the period associated with the application of the geolinguistic method, the classification was based on a comprehensive view of dialect differentiation, taking into consideration not only territorial boundaries. Dialects were perceived as an internally structured unity, subject to basic developmental tendencies, and diversified by other differential phenomena influenced by extralinguistic factors (e.g., geographical, social, generational, and gender). Besides Bohuslav Havránek (1934), the main representants are found in Jaromír Bělič (1972) and the Czech Linguistic Atlas (1992-2011). |
