Mandalinič, Josip ; Vojtěchovský, Ondřej (referee) ; Rychlík, Jan (referee)
165 ABSTRACT The period between 1848 and 1861 was a time when the identity of Montenegrins started to thrive. However, this thrive was proceeding in connection with the international situation, as the Great Powers of that time cast their eyes upon The Eastern Question as the then problem which, besides enduring friction was also about a collision of different theses that were looking for a solution for both its domestic as well as international policies. This collision finally resulted in the Crimean War, which was the only all-European conflict since The Napoleonic Wars until the World War. Against the background of the events there was a change in ruling in Montenegro. Petr II. Petrović Njegoš, who was the last Vladika, lived in celibacy. His follower Danilo Petrović then succeeded as the prince. In connection with the rise of Principality the central institutions started to be created in Montenegro. This, on one hand, contributed to realization of the common interests, but on the other, these centralizational activities started to rise the tension between the particular Montenegrin tribes and the Prince. Many a time this tension broke out into a conflict which the Prince had to solve by force. In the consequence of these frequent revolts and the rapid centralization, the Prince Danilo I. lost his life....

The influence of literature on the process of standardising the Kajkavian language region
Jirásek, Karel ; Kvapil, Miroslav (advisor) ; Rychlík, Jan (referee) ; Vinkler, Jonatan (referee)
The dissertation looks at the influence that literary works have had on the process of the language standardisation of the Croatian Kajkavian language. At the same time it follows the formation of the standard Slovenian language in Slovenian literature. Despite the fact that Kajkavian dialects are neighbours to the Slovenian dialects and are closely related to them, the language standardisation of the Kajkavian and Slovenian languages took place independently of each other, influenced by different historical conditions, and is therefore two separate processes which, however, are subject to the same regularities. The introduction looks at the European context of the formation of literatures in national languages and the fundamental changes that occurred following the expansion of book-printing. In it the author describes the factors that had an impact on the genre composition and literary production in national languages. The expansion of book-printing also caused the need for creating and standardising languages incorporating several dialects over larger territories. In this part the beginnings of Croatian and Slovenian book-printing are discussed and also a comparison is made with the situation in the Czech lands and the German and Italian environment. The main part of the dissertation deals with two...
