Abstract
The talk presents some considerations about the possibilities and limits of drawing conclusions concerning the cognitive aspects of a linguistic activity; can they be based solely on its product (an utterance, piece of writing, etc.), whether observed individually, or statistically in a corpus? The presentation was based on a comparison of the word-formation process of nonce words in Lewis Carroll’s Alice books and their translations into Czech and Slovak. One possible point of view is that of how the author and the translators – consciously or unconsciously – present the problem of word-formation to the readers.
