Summary/Abstract: This article analyses early prosaic texts by Věra Linhartová, i.e. texts written from 1957 to 1961, but published between 1964 and 1968. The focus is especially on discourse analysis of four texts: Povídka nesouvislá (written 1958), Métův život v obrysech (written on 23rd July1960), Rozprava o zdviži (written in 1960) and Račí kánon na běsovské téma (written on 15th December 1960). This contribution tries to introduce grammatical, stylistics and literary means, which are used to demonstrate the creative power of the word in the poetics of this author. It is pointed out that explicit (verbal) and implicit (structural) manifestation of the author’s “creative power” over her texts is conditioned by the ontological-existential dimension of the author’s poetics, but is further orientated towards aims relating to communication.
