Abstrakt
This paper is part of a larger research effort on language variability aimed at uncovering the relations between extra- and intratextual characteristics of Czech texts by means of multi-dimensional analysis. The palpable lack of prior art on quantitative register analysis of Czech led to several distinctive methodological decisions, concerning namely corpus design, feature selection and the parameters of factor analysis, especially the number of dimensions to extract.
We report on these for their potential relevance to other researchers embarking on a similar journey. In order to demonstrate the viability of the model, we also present a brief interpretation of the resulting dimensions.
