Rodinné podnikání ve světle korpusu a českých zákonů

Abstract

This paper focuses on the new terminology used in the new Czech Civil Code, which is in force from January 1, 2014. This new Civil Code completely changes the Czech legal system by introducing a totally new terminology. The paper deals with this new terminology which defines businesses; this terminology is unfortunately different from the terminology having been used for many years. The new Civil Code introduces a new term rodinný zavod which evokes family race instead of the intended term family in Czech. The objective of the paper is to examine this new Civil Code by means of linguistic tools and to focus on the future problems which may occur due to the introduction of the new term. The paper combines different techniques of linguistic research and business research. In the introduction, the authors deal with the definitions of the new terms and explain the importance of the research. Then an overview of legal conditions of business in the Czech Republic is presented. In the central part, the problem under investigation is described and the results of the research is presented. In the conclusion, the authors summarize their new findings.
