Summary/Abstract: The author of the present article focuses on the direct presence of nomenclature in the foreground in the Czech language, concentrated on ethnic stereotypes. He particularly addresses the issue of the title autostereotype in his nation's eyes, that is how the image of a Czech has been established notionally and linguistically in the excerpted examples, cited from native Czech literature and cinematography, where the analyzed Czech ethnonym is exposed.
