| Description | Václav Jan Rosa was a significant Czech grammarian and lexicographer of the 17th century. In this paper, we will focus on his dictionary the Thesaurus linguae bohemicae, which was the first dictionary to be based primarily on the Czech language, i.e. the lexemes and defini-tions are in Czech, while other languages have only a supportive function. Without knowing modern lexicographical methods, Rosa managed to provide all the information we can find in modern dictionaries, and he influenced a lot of other lexicographical works. Finally, we will have a look at how he linked his dictionary to his grammar, Čechořečnost, and used the linguistic material therefrom. |
