Poncarová, Alena ; Bozděchová, Ivana (advisor) ; Vaňková, Irena (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to examine the semantics of cardinal numerals, specifically numeral one (Chapter 2.3), numeral three (Chapter 2.4) and numeral five (Chapter 2.5). The data proceeding method used is as follows. Firstly, paragraphs dealing with various given numerals have been examined in explanatory dictionaries with special attention being paid to different semantic types. Secondly, the occurence of numerals one, three and five in Czech National Corpus have been examined especially with regards to different collocations, in which these numerals usually occur. A detailed description of the method used can be found in Chapter 2. The results of both approaches have been compared and conclusions drawn concerning the semantic validity of the given numerals. In addition, using this comparison, the relevancy and actuality of the information provided in explanatory dictionaries for current language usage have been examined. Conclusions are included in Chapter 3.
