The topic of this article is the categorization in the Czech cultural and language context. I am presenting the results of the survey that I carried out among 1689 informants in 2008. The survey was oriented at mapping semantic prototypes in selected categories (domestic animal, means of transport, wild forest animal, furniture, fruit, vegetables, tree, and flower). The collected data were interpreted according to subjective factors, e.g. age and gender of the informants. The data were also quantified according to the frequency of answers.

Keywords: categorization, semantic prototype, language image of the world, Czech culture
JEL classification: Y8
