  In 2020, a collective monograph was published in Olomouc dedicated to the nature of the Czech language and culture in Volhynia in today’s Ukraine, overviewing the settlement and history of Czech migrants in this area, including  culture-specific features of the local Czech identity, especially in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries. Language features, which play a significant role,are also described. The volume sheds light on phenomena of language contact, in subsystems such as phonetics and phonology, morphosyntax, and lexicology. In this context, the authors present and analyze empirical material. The book is an important contribution to the study of Czech cultural heritage outside the country’s borders.

  The article raises the question about the nature of the “Petersburg text” in the novel “A Common Story”, about its correlation with the general body of the “Petersburg text” of Russian literature and about its individual meanings in Goncharov’s prose. Various levels of the “Petersburg text” are considered: the expression of the category of the “inner state” of the hero, as well as culture and nature. It is concluded that Goncharov’s novel does not fully fit into the mainstream of the “Petersburg text” of Russian literature, but adopts the basic principles of its construction, and also has great potential for the semantic increments of the individual local Petersburg dictionary, which is determined by Goncharov’s irony and symbolization.

  The present paper is concerned with the adverbial and semi-adverbial phrases (with incomplete lexicalization), which are formed by prefixing a preposition to an autosemantic word in the Old Slavonic language. The empirical material is systematized on the basis of the prepositions involved in the word formation process, with regard to the adjuncts determined by the newly-formed adverbs and on the basis of the lexico-grammatical affiliation of the motivating word. The path of adverbialization is analyzed in each case and the systematic relations of the newly-formed adverbial units are also described.
