In the following chapters, the stratification and differentiation of the Czech language is discussed with an emphasis on the overview of non- literary linguistic devices. In the following, practical part, the thesis deals with the analysis of four prose works by Petra Dvořáková: Dědina (2018), Chirurg (2019), Vrány (2020) and Zahrada (2022).
