Linguistic tools in French political discourse.
Daňková, Julie ; Loucká, Hana (advisor) ; Slabochová, Dana (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge of linguistic tools typical for French political discourse. The thesis is based on an analysis of selected political speeches of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy. It tries to capture how a change in a specific political situation of a particular author can affect communicative strategies, discursive practices, and then select the linguistic tools due to the addressee in a particular communicative situation and the communicative intention. The first part of the thesis is focused on the rhetoric and stylistics, which contribute to the typological definition of texts falling within the French political discourse. The second part is based on an analysis of three essential political speeches Nicolas Sarkozy.

Valency of Verbs in the Prague Dependency Treebank
Urešová, Zdeňka ; Hajičová, Eva (advisor) ; Lopatková, Markéta (referee) ; Ondrejovič, Slavo (referee)
Title: Valency of verbs in the Prague Dependency Treebank Author: PhDr. Zdeňka Urešová Department: Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics MFF UK Supervisor: Prof. PhDr. Eva Hajičová, DrSc. Abstract: This dissertation describes PDT-Vallex, a valency lexicon of Czech verbs, and its relation to the annotation of the Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT). The PDT-Vallex lexicon was created during the an- notation of the PDT and it is a valuable source of verbal valency information available both for linguistic research and for computer- ized natural language processing. In this thesis, we describe not only the structure and design of the lexicon (which is closely related to the notion of valency as developed in the Functional Generative De- scription of language) but also the relation between the PDT-Vallex and the PDT. The explicit and full-coverage linking of the lexicon to the treebank prompted us to pay special attention to diatheses; we propose formal transformation rules for diatheses to handle their surface realization even when the canonical forms of verb arguments as captured in the lexicon do not correspond to the forms of these arguments actually appearing in the corpus.

Comparison of a traditional dictionary description and a corpus of written Czech with regard to semantic prosody
Vovchuk, Oleksandr ; Cvrček, Václav (advisor) ; Hudousková, Andrea (referee)
Czech dictionaries were created in the pre-corpus era; it is thus clear that some of their entries don't take into account semantic prosody - the fact that some lexemes occur in particular contexts (consequences are always far-reaching or catastrophic, while intention can be both evil and noble). The aim of this thesis is to compare selected parts of a dictionary (randomly selected probe into Czech adjectives) with corpus material, define the extent of missing information in the current state of Czech language description and explore, how many per cent of information about entries is missing in contemporary dictionaries. We based our research on Slovník spisovného jazyka českého (Dictionary of Written Czech) and representative corpuses of written language SYN2005, or else SYN2010. Context analysis was carried out by means of statistical methods and collocation rates. The difference between dictionary definitions and information inferred from the corpus research could become a further guideline for creating a new dictionary (besides adding a whole range of new entries that are still missing in Czech dictionaries). Keywords lexicon, corpus, semantic prosody

The process of indexing thesis
Obstová, Barbora ; Kovaříková, Klára (advisor) ; Trtíková, Ilona (referee)
(en) This thesis deals with a different approach to indexing from the perspective of the information professionals and the author himself. This verifies different approach based on comparative analysis of theses and dissertations from Charles University. The practical part is based on the processing of theses and dissertations in the Library of Social Science, T. G. Masaryk. With regard to the practical part of the work refers to concepts such as interpretation of the text, vocabulary, and its combinatorial elements. One section discusses the actual process of indexing with respect to content analysis.

Current girl's and women's magazines from the linguistic point of view
Hliňáková, Kristýna ; Palkosková, Olga (advisor) ; Chejnová, Pavla (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of the overall number of six selected magazines from the linguistic point of view, from which three magazines are for girls (except for the magazine Bravo whose target group includes also boys) and three for women. First, each title is introduced - the introduction covers such information as periodicity, target group, circulation and also thematic orientation of corresponding magazines. After the introduction come individual analyses of the magazines. At the end of the thesis the author pays attention to phenomena which are typical for magazines of that kind or which appear throughout all selected magazines. The author applied an interdisciplinary point of view because it is not possible to abstract away from philosophical and psychological linguistic disciplines (semantics, psycholinguistics, and pragmatics). The work puts special emphasis on the lexical level but it does not avoid morphological and stylistic phenomena. The syntactic level is dealt with representatively in one girl's and one women's magazine because the syntactic level of other magazines does not differ much from what has been written within the chosen titles. Except for the linguistic levels, the verbal and non-verbal communication on title pages have also been taken into consideration. In the...

Automatic dictionary acquisition from parallel corpora
Popelka, Jan ; Pecina, Pavel (advisor) ; Mareček, David (referee)
In this work, an extensible word-alignment framework is implemented from scratch. It is based on a discriminative method that combines a wide range of lexical association measures and other features and requires a small amount of manually word-aligned data to optimize parameters of the model. The optimal alignment is found as minimum-weight edge cover, selected suboptimal alignments are used to estimate confidence of each alignment link. Feature combination is tuned in the course of many experiments with respect to the results of evaluation. The evaluation results are compared to GIZA++. The best trained model is used to word-align a large Czech-English parallel corpus and from the links of highest confidence a bilingual lexicon is extracted. Single-word translation equivalents are sorted by their significance. Lexicons of different sizes are extracted by taking top N translations. Precision of the lexicons is evaluated automatically and also manually by judging random samples.
