Abstract
Within the Czech declension, the pronoun týž/tentýž is a true singularity. Its codified forms are constructed in three different ways and the distribution of these forms is highly irregular.
In addition, there is a fourth (uncodified) way of constructing its forms. In this paper, we aim to answer the question how the forms of the pronoun týž/tentýž are applied in present-day newspaper texts.
The impetus for this paper is the article by N. Svozilová published 50 years ago (in 1970).
In addition, the paper describes the competition between the pronoun týž/tentýž and its stylistically less formal equivalent ten samý.
