Abstract
The present study investigates a sample of Czech and Italian monocollocable words (MW) and the fixed combinations in which they occur in terms of syntactic and collocation structures, frequency and diacronic development. It shows that MW in both languages form a very heterogeneous category and that many differences between Czech and Italian monocollocable structures can be explained by typological (e.g. the degree of nominal inflection) or historical factors.
