Abstract

Od Praškog proljeća do Baršunaste revolucije, jezična situacija u Čehoslovačkoj
doživjela je značajne promjene. Praško proljeće omogućilo je oživljavanje duha čehoslovačkog
naroda pod vodstvom Aleksandra Dubčeka. Ukinuta je cenzura, oslabljeno je ograničenje
slobode, reforme su imale pozitivne učinke. No, Praško proljeće je bilo kratkog vijeka kada je
pet država Varšavskog pakta ušlo u Čehoslovačku kako bi suzbili reforme. Nakon invazije
započelo je razdoblje normalizacije, odnosno vraćanje na komunistički režim. Razdoblje
normalizacije je trajalo sve do 1989. godine odnosno do pojave Baršunaste revolucije.
Baršunasta revolucija bila je nenasilna pobuna koja je dovela do svrgavanja komunističkog
režima u Čehoslovačkoj. Revolucija je bila potaknuta zahtjevima za političkim i društvenim
promjenama, uključujući obnovu građanskih sloboda i ukidanje cenzure. S padom komunizma,
situacija u Čehoslovačkoj se još jednom promijenila. Naposljetku, godine 1993. Čehoslovačka
se mirno podijelila na Češku i Slovačku. To je dovelo do povećanog fokusa na razvoj i
promicanje slovačkog jezika kao nacionalnog jezika Slovačke. Slovački se nastavio razvijati i
prilagođavati modernom dobu, uključujući tehnološki napredak i globalizaciju.
Praško proljeće i Baršunasta revolucija odigrali su značajnu ulogu u oblikovanju jezične
politike i težnji slovačkog naroda u to vrijeme.

Abstract (english)

From the Prague Spring to the Velvet Revolution, the language situation in
Czechoslovakia underwent significant changes. The Prague Spring enabled the revival of the
spirit of the Czechoslovak people under the leadership of Aleksandar Dubček. Censorship was
abolished, restrictions on freedom were weakened, reforms had positive effects. But the Prague
Spring eneded when five Warsaw Pact countries entered Czechoslovakia to suppress reforms.
After the invasion, the period of normalization began, communist regime returned. The period
of normalization lasted until Velvet Revolution in 1989.
The Velvet Revolution was a non-violent uprising that led to the overthrow of the communist
regime in Czechoslovakia. The revolution was fueled by demands for political and social
change, including the restoration of civil liberties and the abolition of censorship. With the fall
of communism, the situation in Czechoslovakia changed once again. Finally, in 1993,
Czechoslovakia peacefully split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This led to an increased
focus on the development and promotion of the Slovak language as the national language of
Slovakia. Slovak continued to develop and adapt to the modern age, including technological
advances and globalization.
The Prague Spring and the Velvet Revolution played a significant role in shaping language
policy of Slovak people at that time.
