Nominal and adjectival modification in English and the Czech equivalents
Kančevová, Silvia ; Vašků, Kateřina (advisor) ; Sudková, Marcela (referee)
This bachelor thesis studies differences between adjectival and nominal modification in English. It aims to explore if the relationship between the head and the modifier is different when the modifier is an adjective or when it is a noun. The translation to Czech language is supposed to be helpful in this matter, since Czech is not able to use a means of partial conversion it is in English. The thesis analyses 20 pairs of morphologically related nouns and adjectives functioning as premodifiers. These pairs were excerpted from the parallel corpus InterCorp being accessible through the Czech National Corpus website. The sample consisted of 10 entries from each pair and these 200 occurrences were analyzed in empirical part of the work. Theoretical part deals with the function and the form of noun phrase premodificators and focuses on the semantic relationship between modifiers and the head. Analysis should prove if there is a relationship between the forms of premodification and whether it is possible to explain this relationship semantically. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
