Abstract
The book provides a view of the structure and functioning of the Czech grammar as a natural language, as it corresponds to the widest possible spectrum of its forms and functions. It primarily records, defines, illustrates phenomena as a means of linguistic communication prior to the special linguistic theories.
The first part of the Grammar is devoted to the characteristics of the word classes and the interpretation of the word-formation. The author wrote three chapters on the word-formation composition included in the book: Formation of Nouns, Formation of Adjectives and Formation of Adverbs.
The concept and classification of compounds in this grammar comes from their word-formation structure, i.e. in terms of functionally structural, not genetic aspect. The proportion of composition in the language expression of the concept, its system character, variability and update modifications are monitored, as evidenced by the occurrences of compounds in the current usage (based on excerpts from the Czech National Corpus).
The structural meaning of compounds is in this concept based on their word-formation structure with respect to their motivation.
