Abstract

The lecture, given at the Cultural Linguistics Conference for Today's Europe 2016, attempts to raise questions about the possibilities of exploring the language and communication of the Czech Deaf in the perspective of cultural linguistics and ethnolinguistics. It relies on Lublin's ethnolinguistics in its exploration of the linguistic worldview, and the methodological approach to the linguistic stereotype.

In particular, he shows a possible analogies in the study of the stereotype of DOMOV ('home') in Czech (as a key concept of Czech culture) and in the study of language and text material related to the concept of home in the Czech sign language, i. e., in the language of another mode. The research is based on the methodology of international research of the concept DOMOV in the frame of the project EUROJOS - Axiological Dictionary of the Slavs and their Neighbors.
