The paper examines the conceptual clashes between two approaches to the standardisation of modern Czech during the Czech National Revival. It reconstructs conceptual differences between the partially usage-based approach of František Jan Tomsa and the historical approach of Josef Dobrovský and František Martin Pelcl.

By pointing out their explicit and implicit arguments and with the help of the concept of Sprache der Nähe [language of immediacy] and Sprache der Distanz [language of distance] developed by Koch and Oesterreicher, it proposes an explanation for these differences, for the rejection of the usage-based model by the next generation and for its attractiveness to future generations.
