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.

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.

The lexical database MADLA and possibilities of its use
Chybová, Barbora ; Záhořová, E.
The lexical database of the humanistic and baroque Czech MADLA covers vocabulary from 1500–1780. It contains about 750 000 hand-excerpted documents stemming from dictionaries, herbaria, chronicles and other literary documents from this historical period. Using this database, it is possible to monitor the development of meaning, word formation, paradigm and other grammatical categories, and it serves as a basis for further research on the vocabulary from the 16th–18th centuries. The text describes a representative sample of change in the meaning of the substantive kredenc („cupboard“), the meaning of which has shifted from the original „tasting“ to the contemporary „dresser“. Emphasis is placed on the proof and comparison of different meanings of this word.
