Abstract
The article deals with one of manifestations of German-Czech language contact - semantic calques of German origin in Czech (noun polysemy patterned after German equivalents). The German-Czech language contact has been a focus of linguistic research for a long time and its phonetical, prosodic, morphological and syntactical features as well as German loanwords and loans in Czech are described. Nevertheless, linguists have paid not enough attention to numerous semantic calques of German origin. In this paper we focus on the following semantic calques: cz. pero – ger. Feder, cz.. křídlo - ger. Flügel, cz.. žába - ger. Kröte, cz.. kočičí hlavy - ger. Katzenkopfpflaster, cz. kmen - ger. Stamm, cz. stopka - ger. Stiel, cz. kostka - ger. Würfel, cz. koš - ger. Korb, cz. sešit - ger. Heft, cz. kus - ger. Stück, cz. poměry – ger. Verhältnisse. Comparing this Czech lexems with their equivalents in other Slavonic languages (Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Serbian, Croatian, Bulgarian, Slovenian), we made a conclusion that some of these languages hade also been influenced by German semantics. Russian and Bulgarian exhibit less similarities.
