  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The paper focuses on dynamics of changes of several linguistic and text properties in diachronic development of Czech. Specifically, we analyze the proportion of identical word-forms (types), the average type length, text length, the proportion of hapax legomena, the moving average type-token ratio, and entropy. For the analysis, seven translations of the Gospel of Matthew from the 14<jats:sup>th</jats:sup> to the 21<jats:sup>st</jats:sup> century were used. The study reveals some differences in dynamics of changes of particular properties.</jats:p>
