Charles University, the Faculty of Philosophy Department of South and Central Asia Diploma Thesis Student: Nilufar Khadimetová Language features of the modern Hindi short-story in diaspora Annotation The objective of the thesis is a description of the language of modern Hindī short- stories by Indian authors who live and write in diaspora.

No less attention is devoted to syntax which we can assume that may be affected by English or another language in which the authors write. In conclusion we set out the main features of the English language influences on literary Hindī as reflected in selected stories, and indicate further possibilities for research in this area. Key words: Hindī, diaspora, modern hindī short story, language contact, code switching or mixing, language impacts, lexical borrowings, onomasiology, phraseology, verbo-nominal expressions, verb syntagmas etc.

Morphophonological parallels are researched in the context of the relationships between Indo- Iranian and Balto-Slavic languages, what helps to distinguish common features between the separated language branches: e. g. common features between Baltic languages and Sanskrit or common features between Slavic and Iranian languages. Iranian and Slavic language contact is analysed in the special chapter. The common features between Sanskrit and Slavic languages supposed to be generally the remnants of common Indo-European principles, which are preserved in both language branches. The special chapter is also devoted to the RUKI sound law, which is regarded as one of the most important common feature between Balto-Slavic and Indo-Iranian languages.

Verbo-nominal syntagmas in Hindi
Varmuža, Martin ; Kostič, Svetislav (advisor) ; Hons, Pavel (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with description of linguistic phenomena of Verbo- Nominal Syntagmas (VNS) in Hindi, which is a connection of a noun or an adjective with a verb forming together a single predicate. These so called complex predicates are characteristic feature of Hindi and can be traced here more frequently than for example in Czech or English. There are two elements in VNS: Semantically weakened verb - it becomes rather a functional word, which means that it is a subject to conjugation. Sometimes term light verb is used. Though we can still perceive that the verbal element somehow modifies the new concept in accordance with it's basic meaning. The other element is a noun or an adjective. This part is the cornerstone of VNS from the semantic point of view. Concerning syntactic relations between the two components of VNS this thesis follows and summarizes descriptions made by Graham Bailey and Burton-Page and it also gives insight into research that has been carried out in this area.
