Description Deictical pronouns ten, ta, to are much frequented in Czech texts of various style spheres. There are many grammars and stylistic works (textbooks, articles, essays) that deal with the syntactical structures with the pronominal gender-form ten, ta and with the universal deictical and referential pronoun to (Mathesius 1947: 187; Šmilauer 1947: 29 n.; Jedlička, Formánková, Rejmánková 1970: 97, 135; Bečka 1992: 199-201; Hoffmannová, Müllerová, Schneiderová 1992: 65-66; Berger 1993: 72; Schneiderová 1993: 32, 36; Hoffmannová, Müllerová, Zeman: 42-48, 134-136; Štícha 1999: 132-134; Štícha 2003: 249-290).These pronouns are used very often in the spoken texts. The Linguists find that the pronouns ten, ta, to are frequent in the journalistic, administrative and professional texts, too. They can be considered according to those criterions: a) syntactical structure with the pronouns ten, ta, to; b) function of the pronouns ten, ta, to in those syntactical constructions (connective function, utterance of the emotional attitude of the speaker; c) stylistic quality of the texts with those constructions.
