Electronic publishing and electronic means of text and data presentation have changed enormously since the first edition of this book was published in 1997.

Topics include designing visual aids, writing first drafts, reviewing and revising, communicating clearly and concisely, adhering to stylistic principles, presenting data in tables and figures, dealing with ethical and legal issues, and relating science to the lay a

Sommario/riassunto

ie erste Ebene der vorliegenden Arbeit tangiert in methodischer Hinsicht das geplante Prager Korpus des gesprochenen Tschechisch. Gesprochene Texte werden aufgenommen, schriftlich fixiert und nach sprachlichen und soziologischen Kriterien geordnet und ausgewertet. Das Ziel ist es, anhand der Aufnahmen die aktuelle Situation im gesprochenen Tschechisch zu skizzieren und somit einen Beitrag zur oben geschilderten Diskussion um das Verhältnis ST vs. GT zu leisten. Die zweite Ebene dieser Studie komplementiert die Auswertung des sprachlichen Materials. Mit per Fragebögen erhobenen soziologischen Daten und Angaben derselben Sprecher werden im Bereich des ST: 1) Kenntnisse (Kognition); 2) Grad der positiven Evaluation; 3) vor allem aber die Bereitschaft (Konation) der Sprecher zur Verwendung des ST untersucht. Die Einstellung der Tschechen zu ihrer Standardsprache, sekundär zu ihrer Koine, steht hier im Vordergrund. Diese Publikation leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zu der seit der politischen Wende in Tschechien intensiviert geführten Diskussion um das Standardtschechische und Gemeintschechische (böhmische Koiné).
