Original language description
The aim of the article is to analyse the so-called words of the year used in the Czech public discourse in the years of 2006-2014. In the Czech Republic this event takes the form of a plebiscite conducted among readers of "Lidové noviny" newpaper. The wordsselected in the Czech contest Words of the Year have a different character than their Polishcounterparts. It seems that they were chosen mainly to the attractive context in which theywere used, which is related to the profile of people voting for them. An average reader of"Lidové nowiny" newspaper is more often driven by attractiveness of the meaning of thelexeme, context, in which it is used, less often its form, unless it evokes specific associations.A great number of these words are quotes from politicians, relating to internal affairs. Fromthe lexicological point of view, lexical neologisms prevail among the Czech set of words of the year. Among them one can distinguish word formation neologisms (rychlostudent),semantic neologisms (šibal, odklonit, viróza) and borrowings (blob, pussy, fotovoltaika). Other words are native or foreign words used in texts adapted to the Czech language (metanol, poplatky) a long time ago.
