Abstract
The presentation is one of the first linguistic analyses into the discourse of geocaching. It addresses the way the geocachers construct themselves as an online community of practice. The community is linguistically characterized by the use of, among other, creative patterns of word formation. The presentation also describes the structure of an online geocaching logbook entry and provides an analysis of cacheonyms, i.e. the motivation for the names chosen by their owners to name cache locations.
Abstract (in Czech)
Prezentace je jednou z prvních analýz diskurzu geocachingu. Zabývá se způsobem, jak se tato komunita konstituuje prostřednictvím jazyka, především kreativním užíváním neologismů. Pozornost je věnována rovněž tentativní struktuře zápisu v elektronickém deníku a analýze motivace pojmenování keší (tzv. kešonyma).
