Title: | Language of the Communist Totality in Czechoslovakia: Influence on Our Awareness and its Projection into Reality (1952-2010) | Authors: | Čermák, František | Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste | Source: | František Čermák, "Language of the Communist Totality in Czechoslovakia: Influence on Our Awareness and its Projection into Reality (1952-2010)" in: "Words of Power, the Power of Words. The Twentieth-Century Communist Discourse in International Perspective", Trieste, EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste, 2019, pp. 279-291 | Journal: | Studi di Storia | Abstract: | On the data chosen from two comparable large corpora, one from the period of the Communist Totality, the other from Today, namely post-totalitarian period, an attempt has been made to compare vocabulary of both periods and some of its typical lexemes as well as collocations. Through this corpus approach both a skeleton picture of both periods as well as of the current notions, typical of these widely different times, could have been, hopefully, drawn and through that, main features of both periods and society living in them obtained. The research is an off-spin of a Dictionary of the Totalitarian Period published recently and is to be seen as a continuation of it. The Totalitarian vocabulary and the corpus have been based (each around half a million of words), mostly, on the Communist newspapers while a corresponding corpus of the same newspaper type of texts from the Czech National Corpus has been used as a counterweight. Thus, effectively, vocabulary of these two periods spanned over some 50 years. |
