Sinokorean lexicon in modern Korean
Mazaná, Vladislava ; Horák, Tomáš (advisor) ; Glomb, Vladimír (referee)
1 TITLE: Sino-Korean Lexicon in Modern Korean AUTHOR: Vladislava Mazana DEPARTMENT: Institute of East Asian Studies SUPERVISOR: Mgr. Tomáš Horák, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: This diploma paper is focused on morphological aspects of the Sino-Korean lexicon in modern Korean, the main topics are Sino-Korean word-formation and Sino-Korean classification of parts of speech. Hereby considered are the typological differences between Korean, an agglutinative language and Chinese, an isolative-polysyntetic language. The problem with Sino-Korean words is their ambiguity and vagueness, they appear in various grammatical and syntactical functions with their form unchanged. One morpheme can simultaneously function as an affix and root. This paper analyzes forms of function units, it deals with ways of word-formation (composition and derivation). The ways of prefixation and suffixation are researched. Based on the results of this analysis an adequate classification of Sino-Korean parts of speech is aimed to be established. Both the original Korean and the Chinese systems of parts of speech are taken into account but neither of them corresponds with the characterics and functions of the Sino-Korean words. Considering the multifunctional character of Sino-Korean morphemes it is extremely difficult to classify the words into parts of...

The Conception of Modern Korea in the Work of Seo Jae-pil
Kašparová, Blanka ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (advisor) ; Glomb, Vladimír (referee)
Seo Jae-pil was a key protagonist during the period of the Reform Movement in Korea. As he was one of the few Koreans who personally experienced life in the West, it was natural that he wanted to apply this knowledge to his own country. In order to set Seo Jae-pil in historical context, the first chapter of this thesis deals with the characterization of the time when he was born. A description of his early life is also part of the same chapter. The second chapter deals with his exile in the USA, where he took refuge, after the Gapsin Coup in 1884. The objective of the third chapter is to analyze the changes that Seo Jae-pil suggested during his stay in Korea between the years 1896 and 1898. Through these reforms Korea should have been modernized and should have ranked among the world's developed countries. The analysis of the reforms suggested by Seo Jae-pil focuses on the spheres of the political, educational, social and legal systems. This part features extracts from articles written by Seo Jae-pil and provides an analysis of them. I also pay attention to The Independent newspaper and the Independence Club, as both were founded by Seo Jae-pil during the same period, 1896-1898.

ROK army participation in Vietnam War
Baboráková, Michaela ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (advisor) ; Glomb, Vladimír (referee)
This thesis addresses the participation of the Republic of Korea Army in the Vietnam War. It is a not very well known fact that the Korean Army was the second largest force allied to the United States in South Vietnam. Korean participation still carries a certain amount of controversy, especially in regards to Vietnamese/Korean relations. The Republic of Korea deployed to the Republic of Vietnam two infantry divisions and one Marine Corps brigade. The Korean Army worked closely with US Army elements and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam in a range of combat actions. This was the first overseas deployment since the Korean defense forces known as ROKA were established. Korean soldiers were trained by American army instructors and the Americans were curious they would perform in the combat arena. Chapter One is a brief history of Vietnam War. Due to special importance of allied forces presence in Vietnam for the theme I describe the Vietnam War history only until 1973. Chapter Two introduces the Korean Army participation through eyes of US Army authorities. The text is mostly based on Larsen and Collins' "Allied Participation In Vietnam". This chapter describes a way that led to official agreements about the Korean participation and a Korean Forces functioning in the South Vietnam combat arena. There are a...

Law and Order of the Kingdom of Chosŏn during the 18th Century.
Kubík, Lukáš ; Glomb, Vladimír (advisor) ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (referee)
(in English): Since its foundation, the kingdom of Chosŏn has been culturally and politically connected with the Ming China from which Chosŏn adopted written codes, penal system and administrative structure. At the same time, the legal system of the two states was not identical for various reasons. This differentiation has been increasing over the course of several centuries. The 18th century saw the greatest rise in terms of criminal legislation, and some of today's scholars view this period as the advent of humanism and enlightenment in Korea. This diploma thesis deals with the historical development of criminal law and written codes during the Chosŏn period (14th - 18th century), and with the issue of the Korean state penal system as it was at the end of the 18th century.

System of slavery in traditional Korea
Rybáriková, Martina ; Glomb, Vladimír (advisor) ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (referee)
The main aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive account of the development of the institution of slavery in Korea. Slavery was a part of Korean society from its earliest times, and the evidence of this can be found in the penal code of eight provisions enacted by the mythical emperor Kidža, where he for the first time mentioned slavery as a punishment for theft. From this time on it was ceaselessly present in Korean society until its abolition in 1894. The oldest form of slavery as a punishment was gradually supplemented with other ways of how a person could fall into slavery. Individual slavery gradually evolved into hereditary slavery. Despite the fact that slavery was ceaselessly present in Korean society, the character and even the existence of it are still called into question in academic discussions. In the introductory part of my thesis I focused on the very essence of slavery. Afterwards, I gave a brief overview of the characteristics of three typical slave societies i.e. ancient Greece, ancient Rome and the United States of America. Studying the important characteristics of slavery in other slave societies provided the base for a detailed analysis of the connections with the Korean type of slavery. Some of this information confirms the hypothesis that slavery in Korea was...
