Summary/Abstract: František Kopečný wrote a study entitled “Podníceno Durychem. Příspěvek ke slovosledu a slohu české prózy” (Stimulated by Durych. A contribution to the research of word order and the style of Czech prose) for the samizdat anthology Jaroslavu Durychovi k sedmdesátým narozeninám 1956 (To Jaroslav Durych at the occasion of his seventieth birthday, 1956), arranged by Vladimír Justl, an editor and the student of Kopečný. The text has not been published anywhere else. In the study, Kopečný summarizes current findings concerning mutual relation between word order and semantic structure of utterances and he exemplifies them with the use of the quotes from Durych’s proses. He also points out certain identical features of artistic prose and colloquial speech.
