The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to compare the somatic idioms (phrasemes) of two related Slavic languages, Czech and Ukrainian. On the basis of various examples of somatic idioms, it attempts to demonstrate the wealth and idiosyncrasy of both of these languages, to identify the differences between them and to find common elements in this aspect of phraseology. The results should lead to a deeper understanding of this topic and its usage in the practice of translation. The thesis is divided into two sections: theoretical and practical. The theoretical section elucidates the disciplines of phraseology and idiomatics. In addition to this the thesis gives definitions of phraseme and idiom, classifying various types of phrasemes and a brief characterisation of phrasemes containing names of parts of the human body. The theoretical section is concluded with a subsection addressing the development of phraseology and idiomatics and the tendencies found by research in the Ukrainian language. The theoretical section is concluded by a subchapter addressing the evolution of phraseology and idiomatics and tendencies found by research in the Ukrainian language The practical section presents individual types of phraseme in found in Czech and Ukrainian.

Verbal aspect in Czech-German and German-Czech dictionaries
Schleiff, Ute ; Mareš, Petr (advisor) ; Pešička, Jiří (referee)
The present bachelor thesis is focused on dealing with verbal aspect (perfectiveness and imperfectiveness) in contemporary Czech-German and German-Czech dictionaries. This category, which occurs in the Czech language, unlike in German, is on the boundary of grammar and semantics. The theoretical part of this thesis summarizes the general concept of this verbal aspect and the ways of expressing it in German. The extent to which dictionaries deal with this category depends on the target groups of dictionary users. After the introduction to the problem of bilingual dictionaries, three currently used Czech-German and German-Czech dictionaries were chosen for the detail analysis. The present research of verbal aspect as it is tackled in these dictionaries, the Czech verbal perfectiveness and imperfectiveness, and their counterparts in German dictionary entries may lead to the improvement in the usage of correct forms. The German user needs information both on relevant aspectual forms (perfective and imperfective) and on semantic differences between them.

A comparison of global data on the fundamental frequency of Czech and Polish speakers
Bołbot, Katarzyna ; Skarnitzl, Radek (advisor) ; Pešička, Jiří (referee)
The present thesis has been based on numerous surveys testifying the differentiation of the global speaking fundamental frequency characteristics according to the language, or the dialect, of the user and attempts to put them to the test in the Polish-Czech context. The research was divided in two parts: monolingual and bilingual. In both phases we analysed 64 and 42 recordings of 64 speakers in total, i.e. 43 Czechs (18 females and 14 males) and, by analogy, 32 Poles. All the recordings were obtained at the Phonetics Laboratory of the Institute of Phonetics FF UK in Prague. The subject matter of our description was the values of the alternative baseline as the most suitable representative of neutral tendencies of the global frequencies of the individual's F0. The analysis has been aimed at testing the alternative hypothesis, which presupposes the existence of differences in the fundamental frequency of Czech and Polish speakers, in particular in the higher values of Polish speakers. The basic monolingual phase of the research has proved a higher F0 value of the Polish sample in all the cases. The difference within the selective group of males has reached the highest degree of significance with the probability of its existence within the whole population being 89% (p > 0.11). After we took an unexpected...
