Abstract
The paper presents the analysis of Czech verbal prefixes, which is the first step of a project that has the ultimate goal an automatic morphemic analysis of Czech. We studied prefixes that may occur in Czech verbs, especially their possible and impossible combinations. We describe a procedure of prefix recognition and derive several general rules for selection of a correct result. The analysis of “double” prefixes enables to make conclusions about universality of the first prefix. We also added linguistic comments to several types of prefixes.

There is only a small set of verbs which have really more possible meaningful segmentations. An example is the verb voperovat that is a substandard variant of the unprefixed verb operovat (= to operate), but can be also segmented as v-operovat (= to implant).
