Ľudovít Štúr: “…the future lies in the hands of youth.“
On the occassion of the Year of Ľudovít Štúr and the International Youth Day we have made a poster that maps usage of the word mládež (‘youth’)—used by Bernolák, Štúr and the Slovak National Corpus.
How many times can the word mládež (‘youth’) be found in the corpus? What are the most common collocations of this word? You can find them on the poster.
To get full access to the Slovak National Corpus free registration is required.
The quotation on the poster is from the work Nárečja Slovenskuo alebo Potreba písaňja v tomto nárečí that is accessible here.
