Particles in Slovak and Czech. System and Corpus Analysis
Šimková, Mária ; Nábělková, Mira (advisor) ; Vondráček, Miloslav (referee) ; Sokolová, Miloslava (referee)
The youngest word class type used to arouse great interest and discussions when entering the grammar; in some countries (e. g. in Germany) particles have been an object of systematic research. However, many other languages still lack a complex description of particles as a class on its own - they represent an appropriate material also for comparative researches. Differences in functioning and theoretical treatment of particles have been present in typologically different languages but they can emerge also in related languages, even in the case of Slovak and Czech. Lexicographical and grammar descriptions of these languages provide only small sets of particles (in Slovak roughly amounting to 400, in Czech exceeding 200) and are usually divided by authors into small groups and further on into even smaller subgroups. Due to specific features as well as to paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations with other language or speech phenomena even one particle or a couple of them or a narrowly defined group of particles can become an object of individual scientific and research projects. Step by step, our thesis presents the development of attitudes towards particles as an independent word class in general and in Russian linguistics in particular, grammar descriptions of particles in Slovak, Czech and other...

Neutrum versus nonneutrum (a pragmatic-cognitive aspect of the category of gender)
Vondráček, Miloslav
Neutrum versus nonneutrum (a pragmatic-cognitive aspect of the category of gender) Abstrakt angl.: Gender has become a rather formal linguistic category. However, masculines, feminines and neutra are projected in language users´ minds as namings for male, female and immature beings. Czech language has several means of establishing a hierarchy of gender distinguishing/indifferent naming means. Gender partly appears as a cognitive category. A pronoun which belongs in the system to those non-expressing gender gains a particular gender semantics in real speech, which is formally projected into congruent forms; we talk about ourselves as about male or female beings.The paper presents a documentary of a communicative use of a (dis)harmony between gender implications of nouns and awareness of their holders´ sexual membership.
