Summary/Abstract: The article deals with text changes made by Czech realist writer K. V. Rais (1859–1926) in three of his short stories in the 1920s. Following the standard principles of Czech textology, it tries to distinguish individual style-motivated changes from those of purely linguistic (language-culture) nature. It argues that the latter, conforming to the linguistic ideals of his age, are not contrary to the author’s creative intentions.
