Do traditional Dialects still exist Today?

The main goal of the lecture is to ansver the guestion as to whether or not traditional dialects still exist in contemporary Czech. When we look at the situation of modern languages we can see the global tendency of slowly fading of dialects.\nThe lecturer will present maps taken from Czech Language Atlas. Attention will be focused on the striking differences in the perspective of Czech and Moravian speech. There are several types of differences, for example in vocabulary (překážet x zavazet) in word formation (slánka x solnička, líný x lenošný), in morphology (sršeň f. x sršeň m., kobliha f. x koblih m.) or in phonetics (mák x mak, lhát x lhat, moucha x mucha)
