Contribution to study of rivalry between definite article and demonstrative adjective
Berthótyová, Júlia ; Tláskal, Jaromír (advisor) ; Štichauer, Jaroslav (referee)
This theoretical thesis deals with the relationship bertween two kinds of determiners in French: the definite article and the demonstrative adjective. As they have the same distribution, we can call this relationship the rivalry. The present work tries to promote the comprehension of this specific subject by assembling all available theories and other contributions. Chapters are ranged according to their degree of generatization: we start by quite general approaches and progress to more and more specific ones. The first chapter presents the general ground of our theme: noun determination. In the chapter two, we analyze some French grammar books in order to find some reference about the rivalry. The chapter three exposes selected theories that are related to the problem of the rivalry between the definite article and demonstrative adjective. The chapter four presents three classifications of use of demonstrative adjective. Even if this part of work seems not to be in close relation to the main subject, we found in these classifications many observations of the rivalry and that's why we devoted whole chapter to a brief synthesis of classifications. The chapter five gives a summary of the research carried out by Hélne Manuélian. In contrast to above mentioned works, the research of Manuélian is based on a...

Towards some problems of semi-sentential structures in Portuguese
Ambrosová, Anna ; Tláskal, Jaromír (advisor) ; Jindrová, Jaroslava (referee)
The thesis deals with the subject of non-finite clauses in Portuguese. Our target was not only to investigate and describe this inherent part of Portuguese grammar but also to assess the frequency of its use in the language. The thesis consists of three theoretical and one practical part. The first theoretical part is conceived as a general introduction to the problem of non-finite clauses and records how it is understood by Portuguese and Czech linguists. The next part of the research is dedicated in detail to the individual nominal forms of Portuguese verbs, i.e. to infinitive, gerund and participle. In the third part we divide the non-finite clauses into substantive, adjectival and adverbial and provide each of the types with examples found in Portuguese written literature. This linguistic corpus that we created represents the practical part of our study. The last part of the work summarises the most common conjunctions used in subordinate clauses with finite verb form and the equivalent prepositions in non-finite clauses. We counted all the non-finite clauses in four books written in Portuguese and concluded our research by stating which type is the most frequent.

A new insight to verbal aspect in the Czech language
Mjachký, Juraj ; Tláskal, Jaromír (advisor) ; Štichauer, Jaroslav (referee)
Traditionally, the Czech verbal aspect is accounted for on the basis of the im/perfective semantics. The present work represents an attempt to introduce another point of view, applying the compositional aspectual theory as developed by H. Verkuyl for English to a Slavic language like Czech in order to find answers to some fundamental aspectual questions, in which the traditional view seems to fail. Our study is organised as follows: 1. - 2. Czech verbal aspect: Czech linguists versus C. Vet and H. Verkuyl 3. Terminativity and Durativity as defining caracteristics of Czech perfective and imperfective verbs 4. Conativity 5. Non/determined, distributive and iterative verbs 6. Imperfective tantum 7. Imperative

Syntactic variation of direct interrogatives in spoken French
Huková, Ľubomíra ; Pravdová, Marie (advisor) ; Tláskal, Jaromír (referee)
This thesis deals with the question of variation of direct interrogatives in spoken French. ln the first, theoretical part of the thesis, I pro vide information about the spoken form of French and variationist linguistics, and I define direct interrogatives from the perspective of various grammarians and variationists. ln the second, practical part, I look into the forms of interrogatives that can be found in my own corpus and analyse the frequency with which they appear.
