[1] She attended a French grammar school there, from which she graduated in 1948. [1] She then began studying Czech and Polish at the Charles University Faculty of Arts, before expanding her studies to Slavic philology in general, [1] [2] and particularly Old Slavonic, under the influence of linguistics professors Bohuslav Havránek, Vladimír Skalička, Vladimír Šmilauer and others who taught in the faculty at that time. [1] She also studied at the Linguistic Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest. She earned a PhD in 1951, [2] and a Candidate of Sciences in 1958. [2]
In 1952, Hauptová was appointed as a researcher in the Slavonic Linguistics Department of the Slavonic Institute of the
Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, and began working on the Old Church Slavonic Dictionary,
[1]
[2] published as separate volumes, totalling more than 3,000 pages, between 1966–1997.

[1] She also worked on the Old Slavonic Etymological Dictionary and the Old Church Slavonic Monuments.
[1]
[2] From 1995–2003, she was president of the Commission for Church Slavonic Dictionaries within the International Committee of Slavicists.
[1]
She lectured in paleoslavic and comparative Slavonic linguistics at the Pedagogical Faculty of the
Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, where she obtained
habilitation in 1990.
[1]
[2] She also taught at the Charles University in Prague.
[1]
[2] Two anthologies she co-edited, The Golden Age of Bulgarian Literature and The Writing of the Russian Middle Ages, are still indispensable for students of Slavic studies.
[1]
Among her research interests were general and comparative Slavonic studies; grammatical, lexicographic and textological studies of Old Church Slavonic; Slavic-Hungarian language relations, and Slavic history. [2] [3]
Her partner was painter and graphic artist Petra Fisherová. [5] Hauptová sometimes worked as a lay preacher in the Czech Brethren church in Nejdek near Karlovy Vary. [1] She died in Prague.
