Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The paper describes the language of stories by Jan Zábrana (from the 1950s) in comparison with the official requirements. Zábrana's stories represent a radical denying of these requirements.

Zábrana depicts spontaneous and informal spoken communication that differs from the idea of cultivated standard expression.
