Assistance provided to crime victims - comparison of national legislations in the Czech Republic and Finland
Tomsová, Karolína ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive comparison of national legislations governing assistance provided to crime victims in both the Czech Republic and Finland. Although emphasis has been placed on analysis of the respective legal regulations of both countries, it also places the issue into historical context while analyzing international requirements laid down by the Council of Europe, the European Union and the United Nations. At the end of the thesis, the level of victim protection in both countries is assessed and particular de lege ferenda proposals are submitted. The first chapter offers historical and international insight into the assistance of victims of crime and details how this field has evolved over the last hundred years. The second chapter describes the development of protective legislation in the Czech Republic and Finland. In chapter 3, the different types of assistance provided to victims in practice, regardless of the existence of relevant regulations, are analyzed. The fourth chapter explains the legal terms "victim" and "injured party", with a view toward their use in subsequent chapters of this thesis. Chapter 5 discusses the position of the injured party in criminal proceedings, including the feasibility of achieving their rightful claims while the sixth...

The weak obligation expressed by "should", "shall" and "be supposed to" and their Czech translational counterparts
Tomšová, Karolina ; Brůhová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Malá, Markéta (referee)
The MA thesis focuses upon the meaning of weak obligation expressed by the modal verbs should, shall and be supposed to and their translation counterparts. The aim of the thesis is to describe the range of translation counterparts of the verbs should, shall and be supposed to and to specify the differences between these verbs in this particular use of weak obligation. The present thesis applies the method of bidirectional corpus-supported approach (Malá, 2013) which helps to determine the differences in meaning between the respective verbs. The most typical Czech counterpart, the verb mít, is further analysed according to its English correspondences. With the help of both directions, the differences in meaning of should, shall and be supposed to are defined. The empirical part of the MA thesis is based on the sample of 250 examples, comprising 50 examples of each modal verb as well as 100 examples of their typical Czech counterpart, the verb mít. The examples are drawn from the Parallel corpora InterCorp. Keywords: modality, weak obligation, should, shall, be supposed to

Modal verb "be" and its Czech counterparts
Tomšová, Karolina ; Brůhová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Čermák, Jan (referee)
The present thesis studies the English modal verb be and its Czech translation counterparts. The aim of this work is to analyse its Czech translation counterparts and outline the methods that are most frequently used to translate this construction. The modal verb be is examined in construction with both the active and passive infinitive as well as in the present form or the past form of the infinitive. Next, the modal verb be is analysed from the syntactic point of view as the types of sentences in which the modal be occurs most frequently are examined. The thesis consists of two parts: the theoretical background which introduces the topic of the modal verb be and the empirical part which analyses one hundred examples taken from the Parallel Corpora InterCorp. Five key areas are examined in the analysis: the modality expressed by the modal verb be, the Czech translation counterparts of the deontic and epistemic use of the modal verb be, the voice in which the infinitive in the construction with the modal verb be occurs and the types of sentences in which the modal be appears most frequently. The findings acquired in the analysis are summarized in the conclusion.
