For the purpose of this article the author had chosen a Czech sitcom entitled Hospoda (The Inn), which contains numerous examples of self characteristics of the Czech ethnic group. All the Czech language examples with the highlighted „national component” placed here are treated by modern linguistics seriously as the stereotype coefficient, which is deep-set in cultural linguistic code. In most of the analyzed examples all the actors of the presented sitcom were able to accurately point human faults and imperfections. It is thanks to them that Czech audience (the representatives of the nation) are able to realize their shortcomings.otherinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessIdentitystereotypes of Czech peopleautostereotypescinematographycultural realityphraseology and idiomatic expressionsArtykuł
