Czech translations of the contemporary Hungarian literature; Dialectological questions in the Czech-Hungarian relationship

Abstract

This study discusses the specific language variant called vernacular Czech (obecná čeština). This variant cannot be found in Hungarian language, therefore varnacular Czech has in the Czech language translations a form of language compensation.

This factor is illustrated on texts of the contemporary Hungarian literature by Krisztina Tóth and Attila Bartis.
