Vinnik, Anastasia ; Rosová, Anna (advisor) ; Rubáš, Stanislav (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to provide an annotated translation of two selected chapters from the book 50 величайших женщин. The thesis consists of two parts: the first one is the translation itself, the second part represents the annotation of that translation. The annotation is also made of two parts. The first one is the analysis of the source text based on the model of Christiane Nord, that is the categorization of intratextual and extratextual factors. The second part describes translatological transformations and is based on the classification of V. N. Komissarov.

Eugene Onegin in Czech translations
Rubáš, Stanislav ; Hrala, Milan (advisor) ; Král, Oldřich (referee) ; Honzík, Jiří (referee)
The paper covers five complete Czech translations of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin by Václav Čeněk Bendl, Václav Alois Jung, Josef Hora, Olga Mašková and Milan Dvořák. Translation quality assessment is based on the question of how each rendering reflects semantic complexities of the original. Analysis of each translation involves the significant phonetic, imaginative, ideational and structural features of Pushkin's novel in verse. Often a particular rendering is contrasted with another one to demonstrate its style more clearly, including some of the incomplete renderings of Onegin, especially that by Jan Evangelista Purkyně. All the translations analysed are put into their historical context. It follows that most of them were created at some crucial point in the Czech history (1860, 1937 and 1966) and in some way reflect "the spirit of their time". Bendl changed the structure of the original by a shift in metre. He replaced iambic tetrameter by iambic pentameter. As a result, he was given more room to develop the thoughts and imagery of Pushkin's novel in verse. However, he often turned his translation into renarration and contaminated his rendering with a great deal of semantic shifts. ...

Explicitation and translator's style
Kamenická, Renata ; Králová, Jana (advisor) ; Mánek, Bohuslav (referee) ; Rubáš, Stanislav (referee)
The aim of the thesis was to explore the role of explicitation as a potential parameter of individual literary translator's style, on the material of a parallel corpus of texts compiled for this purpose and covering the work of two translators along the temporal axis. The empirical study the results of which are presented in the thesis was based on the assumption that literary translators, too, are characterized by individual styles, i.e. regularities of their translation decisions typical of their work and distinguishing them from other translators (see e.g. Baker 2000). Another assumption was that explicitation, as a phenomenon studied so far especially as a potential translation universal, has also individual aspects, i.e. that by comparing the explicitation behaviours of several translators components of that behaviour contributing towards individual translator's style can be identified. Either of the two translators being compared, Radoslav Nenadál and Antonín Přidal, was represented in the corpus by 5,000-word samples of parallel text, taken from 9 translations of long literary fiction, published in the course of their translator's careers. For the purpose of this analysis a new typology of translation-inherent explicitation (and implicitation) was developed, based on the concept of metafunctions of...

Gumanská, Evženie ; Oganesjanová, Danuše (advisor) ; Rubáš, Stanislav (referee)
(in English) The aim of the present thesis is to introduce a comparative linguistic analysis of the new terminology of the restructuring era in the Soviet Union. It substantiates the historical foundations of socio-political terminology in a certain period. Above all, the analysis focuses on the terms перестройка - perestroika, ускорение - uskoreniye, гласность - glasnost (openness of information) etc. It compares and contrasts the terms used in the original of Perestroika: New Thinking for Our Country and the World by M. S. Gorbachev with their translation equivalents and with the use of this terminology in the respective target language. The above terms are categorized within the system of socio-political terminology and defined on the basis of established classifications.

Zabrana's Doctor Zhivago: The Making and Analysis of Selected Translation Solutions
Klimeš, Lukáš ; Rubáš, Stanislav (advisor) ; Oganesjanová, Danuše (referee)
(in English): This thesis deals with a version of Boris Pasternak's novel Doctor Zhivago, translated into Czech by Jan Zábrana and Jiří Kovtun. The aims of the thesis are: (1) to follow the journey of the original exile edition from Italy to communist Czechoslovakia, (2) to clarify how both translators contributed to the poetry part of the novel, (3) to outline Zábrana's translation method a comparison of chosen typewritten versions of the translation from various phases of its creation. The primary source of material for all the individual objectives is Zábrana's inheritance, which answers the question why Jiří Kovtun's name does not appear in the first Czech edition of Doctor Zhivago (1990), although he is listed along with Zábrana as the translator of the poetry part in the remaining three editions (2003, 2005, 2011). The original material from the inheritance as well as Marie Zábranová's testimony emphasize the sequence of events that influenced the creation of Zábrana's translation. The final analysis compares chosen typewritten versions of the novel's eighth chapter with the first Czech edition and describes how Zábrana worked. The thesis aims to be beneficial for the Czech history of translation and contribute to the current knowledge about the translation method of Jan Zábrana. Keywords Jan...
