MAIN RESULTS AND PERSPECTIVES
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The hitherto made experiences have shown that even a very extensive statistico-linguistic project can be successfully carried through, if ~here is the aid of computer. Results obtained up to now offer a very detailed picture about the functional load of syntactic elements and units in texts from various styles and from various communicative spheres of the present-day Czech. However, the importance of the project, which has not yet been completely finished, consists also in the recognition and understanding of quantitative linguistic principles, relationships, tendencies and general laws.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Statistics of syntax contrasts by some of its features with the statistics of other linguistic levels. If compared with some hierarchically lower levels, such as with phonology or morphology, and their units, the sentence as the basic syntactic unit is structurally much more complex /not representing the mere summ of elements and forms of the lower levels/ and, larger, too. For these reasons it disposes with a considerably higher combination possibilities, and consequently of richer posibilities of individual usage of linguistic means of its creation and usage during the communicative process. On the other hand, if compared with concrete lexical items, most properties of sentence are of abstract, categorial nature; the inventory of sentence patterns is strictly limited in number, and therefore they are repeated very often in texts, which of course contributes to the neutralization of their st~listic value.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> The computer aided quantitative analysis of syntax proved to be a valuable counterpart of qualitative structural research in describing and evaluating the functioning of language means in communication. null 396 L. UHLII~OVPS, t. NEBESK.~ and J. KRALIK</Paragraph>
