Description Analysing selected several baroque texts (mostly from the sphere of fiction), grammar books and dictionaries, I have come to the conclusion that in Baroque Czech diverse expressions play role of the conclusive conjunctions; this expressions differ by semantic markers or syntactic status: 1. Coordinating conjunctions, rather adverbial expressions that usually supplement conjunction a (“and”): proto, z té příčiny, pro tu příčinu (this expressions contain meaning of causality); tudy, odtud, z toho, za to (this expressions contain meaning of direction); tedy/tehdy (temporal meaning); tak (manner or intensifying meaning). 2. Subordinating conjunction takže; this conjunction originated in the early stages of Czech by grammaticalisation of the demonstrative adverb tak and the conjunction že and id contains the resultativeness as an invariant feature of its meaning. 3. Relative pronouns: pročež, načež, odkud(ž).
