"Tag ěto viřísení" : On forms and functions of graphic language devices

Abstract

The article describes how the defamiliarized sequences of graphic devices are used in several literary texts written by Czech authors and how they can be interpreted by recipients. A specific way of use of graphic devices can represent the intellectual level of a character, evocate the course of spoken utterances, reveal the conventionality of orthographic rules, etc.
