Application of the lexical principle in the use of capital letters in printed early modern Czech Bibles
2013
Abstract
The paper examines one of the least researched issues surrounding Early Modern Age Czech orthography, writing with capitals, in printed Bibles which served as linguistic and orthographic models as understood at that time. Attention is paid primarily to various groups of adjectives and numerals, because in the case of other parts of speech we only exceptionally find syntactically unconditioned use of capital letters.
The acquired data are then compared to the results of previous research into nouns.
