The language of Nazi propaganda in the Sorbian press of the 1930s
Tomčík, Stanislav ; Giger, Markus (advisor) ; Šmejkalová, Martina (referee) ; Schulz, Jana (referee)
This thesis deals with the influence of nazi ideology on language in the Sorbian press of the 1930s. The predominantly Upper Sorbian material presents lexemes that were associated with the terminology of the nazi regime. While some lexemes have persisted in the language and have not changed their form ever since, others are completely forgotten. Furthermore, some ideologemes of nazi propaganda and their adaptation in the Sorbian environment are presented. In particular, the areas of identity are unique to the Sorbian context, as they shift the meanings contained in the official conception of ideology. Furthermore literature which was published on the pages of the Sorbianpress is presented as a specific area where the language influenced by nazi ideology has penetrated. Key words: Sorbian press, Upper Sorbian, totalitarian language, propaganda, identity, ideology

Verbal aspect in Russian and Upper-Sorbian
Travnitskaya, Maria ; Giger, Markus (advisor) ; Kitzlerová, Jana (referee)
This bachelor thesis is addressing the topic of the distinctive usage of the verbal aspectual forms in Russian and Upper-Sorbian languages. The thesis is aiming to describe the use cases of these forms, point out the similarities and distinctions as well as to attempt to explore the possible reasons for those distinctions. The thesis is divided into two parts - a theoretical part and practical part. In the theoretical part is provided general descriptions of the Russian verbal aspect along with a detailed description of the Upper-Sorbian verbal aspect. Next, the thesis is focusing on the distinctions in their use cases, and in the practical part the specific examples are being analyzed. The examples for the analysis are found in the literature and include parallel texts. In the conclusion there is an attempt to summarize the results of the analysis conducted and suggest the topics for the future research.

Quantified subjects and their agreement with the predicate
Jochová, Marie ; Giger, Markus (advisor) ; Stranz-Nikitina, Veronika (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the subject-predicate agreement in sentences with a quantified subject. The theoretical part informs the reader about the general issue of agreement, and shows its various forms in the Czech and Russian languages. It also summarizes the basic knowledge of the predicate agreement with a quantified subject in Russian, and maps the factors that influence this agreement. It focuses only on the predicate number, which is exactly in these cases variable. The practical part verifies findings from the theoretical part with the help of data from the Russian national corpus. Four factors have been verified, which should influence the predicate number. These were: word order, animacy, agentivity of the subject and quantifier itself. The corpus data have shown that the word order and quantifier have a fundamental influence on the predicate number. The animacy has a significantly lower impact and the agentivity of the subject is negligible.

The development of the "second locative" in 19th and 20th century Russian
Klimánková, Tereza ; Giger, Markus (advisor) ; Stranz-Nikitina, Veronika (referee)
In this diploma thesis, we are focusing on the historical development of the locative case and its variety in Russian language, especially in 19th and 20th century Russian. Based on our knowledge from the theoretical part we analyzed samples from national corpus of Russian language. Words, which can use the second locative case, were divided into three groups. We found out that approximately during 1930's appeared evidence of change in use of the local case ending. This is described by the results from the analysis of the lexemes of the first group, where is the use of the second locative obligatory. We also found out, that in the group, where use of locative endings varies, there are some tendencies to distinguish the meaning of the lexemes with the local case endings. In the third group, where the local case endings distinguish meaning of the word, we can claim that there are evidence of the tendencies to unify meaning of the nouns in the local case. Therefore, the choice of the ending does not strictly determine the meaning of the word. Keywords Declension; noun; Russian; second locative; 19th century; 20th century; corpus linguistics

Characteristics of suffixal noun derivation in 21st century Russian
Ziganshina, Diana ; Giger, Markus (advisor) ; Stranz-Nikitina, Veronika (referee)
Ziganshina Diana Abstract (in English): One of the largest directions of Russian language evolution goes into nouns generated by suffixes. The most active dictionary expanding with suffix-based forms of words happened in the beginning of XXI. Based on on research and analisys of lingustic literature the thesis attempts to describe main features of suffics-based noun generation in Russian language in the beginning of XXI. Thesis operates with three groups of nouns in modern Russian language: - suffix-based nouns that stand for abstractions - suffix-based nouns that stand for objects - suffix-based nouns that stand for animacy

Non-finite Verb Forms as Semipredicates in Russian, Czech and German. A Typological View
Kocková, Jana ; Giger, Markus (advisor) ; Izotov, Andrey Ivanovič (referee) ; Berger, Tilman (referee)
Title: Nonfinite Verb Forms as Semipredicates in Russian, Czech and German. A Typological View. Author: Jana Kocková Supervisor: doc. Dr. phil. Markus Giger Abstract: This research paper presents a comprehensive picture of nonfinite verb forms in Russian, Czech and German supported by a corpus analysis based on the parallel corpus InterCorp CNC. Equivalents of each of the nonfinite verb forms were analysed manually in each of the monitored languages. The data obtained served for typological classification focused on nonfinite verb forms as secondary predicates. Different frequencies of the individual forms and mutual competition of various means in language also indirectly result from the analysis. In Czech we may observe generally a strong tendency to express the semiprediaction by means of a finite verb form in a sentence structure. As regards non finite verb forms, the actively used forms are participle and verbal nouns, i.e. forms which relate to the existing partofspeech paradigms. Due to being inflectional they express explicitly syntactic relations. Czech uses the possibility to express the secondary predication by means that are not contrary to morphological regularities of the inflectional type. Russian uses actively all the nonfinite verb forms. A high...

The dynamics of Southern Carpathian dialects
Vašíček, Michal ; Giger, Markus (advisor) ; Rabus, Achim (referee) ; Dudášová, Júlia (referee)
The dynamics of Southern Carpathian dialects - abstract The aim of this work is to describe the development of Southern Carpathian dialects in two state entities, in northeastern Slovakia and the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine, in the last 70 years. Starting material are recordings of dialectal speech and their transcription obtained in own field research conducted since 2011 within the studied area, especially in villages located close to the Slovak-Ukrainian state border. The focus of this work is a description of the dynamics of the phonetic, morphological and lexical system of the dialects of two villages, Ublya, which was chosen due to the long tradition of dialect research, and Malyi Bereznyi, the nearest neighboring village on the territory of Ukraine. Here until World War II closely related Southern Carpathian dialects had been developing in the same sociolinguistic conditions. After World War II they were separated by the Czechoslovak- Soviet border and came under the influence of different standard languages - Slovak, on the one hand, and Ukrainian and Russian on the other hand. A comparison of older material with the results of our field research enables to observe a dialectal divergence caused by leveling processes oriented to different standard languages. Data obtained in Ublya and Malyi...

Morphological defectiveness as a problem of teaching Russian as mother tongue and foreign language
Kopcová, Tereza ; Giger, Markus (advisor) ; Rajnochová, Natalie (referee)
The Diploma Thesis "Morphological defectiveness as a problem in teaching Russian as a mother tongue and a foreign language" occupies with the cases of explicitly codified defectiveness in morphological system of standard Russian. The chapter on verbs describes the issue of defectiveness paradigm in the 1st person singular in a certain group of verbs. It also includes the illustrations of such defectiveness forms from the internet forums and references about the problem both from prescriptively grammars and studying materials intended for native speakers and students of Russian as a foreign language. The chapter on nouns occupies with broken paradigm of nouns in genitive plural. This problem is taken from the historical perspective and again it contains the examples from the internet forums, codified grammar books and individual books. The chapter on participles examines the formation of active participles of the future tense which are codified as no normative but also illustrations from the literature of the past centuries and present, which can be found on the internet forums, show us that the problem is quite topical. The outcomes of the questionnaire investigation are summarised in an individual chapter, in the process the attention is focused on three main topics which were concentrated on in...
