Prof. Radek Čech, Ph.D., serves as a Professor at the Institute of Czech Language within the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. His office is located in building D/D.312 at Arna Nováka 1, 602 00 Brno, with contact details including phone 549 49 3306 and email cehradek@phil.muni.cz.
His research spans Historical Linguistics, Phonology, Czech Language, Quantitative Linguistics, Corpus Linguistics, and Slavic Linguistics, focusing on diachronic phonological evolution, syllabic structures, enclitic word order, and statistical laws in language. Prof. Čech employs interdisciplinary methodologies blending philological analysis with computational techniques to examine historical Czech texts, Old Church Slavonic materials, and cross-linguistic patterns.
Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals concentrated research on syllabic consonant development in Czech, particularly through corpus-based studies of Old Czech verse and biblical translations. Key trends include the application of the Sonority Sequencing Principle to historical data, quantitative validation of the Menzerath-Altmann law across languages (including Chinese), and computational stylometric analysis of Slavic texts. His work consistently bridges theoretical phonology with empirical historical evidence.
Prof. Čech actively collaborates with researchers like Marketa Zikova, Martin Brezina, and Pavel Kosek, presenting at international conferences such as QUALICO 2025 and organizing events like the Diachronic Slavonic Syntax series. His contributions emphasize methodological innovation in combining traditional philology with digital humanities approaches for Slavic linguistic research.
