Abstract

V originále

The English word stock is a mixture of numerous languages, primarily of Germanic and French origin. During its development, it acquired other words from major languages like Greek, Latin, Spanish, Dutch and also quite a few from minor languages. A dominant role was played by the proximity factor and mutual social contact. Despite the fact that Czech is spoken by only a little more than 10 million people it also played its relevant role in the development of the English language.
