Summary/Abstract: The usage of dialect phenomena places considerable demands on the author. She or he chooses between the authentic dialect, its stylizing or refining the text with judiciously selected dialectisms. The author’s good knowledge of the dialect counts for an advantage, nevertheless its usage involves a concrete localization. For her characters of countrymen in the story Planá růže, růžička šípková, Helena Šmahelová creates an imaginary folk speech for it she chooses the dialectisms from various areas. Expressions typical for Moravian dialects (predominantly of the middle-Moravian area) however do not correspond with the supposed locating of the story into the South-Bohemian village.
