Czech type nouns: Evidence from corpora

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In Czech, a West Slavic language, there are two major type nouns: druh ‘kind/sort’ (a group of individuals sharing the same characteristics, or a collection of characteristic features), and typ ‘type’ (a model, example, or an individual with characteristic features; a group of individuals or things with the same features). While the type meaning of druh developed from the animate reading (‘member of a group; companion’), typ is a nineteenth-century borrowing, arguably via German, which originally goes back to Latin and Greek. In this exploratory corpus-driven study, we investigate the discourse functions of these nouns (following Kolyaseva and Davidse 2018) by analysing their distributional patterns in informal spoken Czech as represented by the ORAL v.1 corpus (Kopřivová et al. 2017) and in original Czech fiction translated into English. By means of statistical analyses, we determine which contextual properties condition a preference for one or the other.
