Greek lexicography in antiquity
Vaněk, Adam ; Muchnová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Pultrová, Lucie (referee)
This thesis analyses the scheme of Ancient Greek lexicographic works. Each dictionary is classed into groups by shared word comment method, and by the type of vocabulary. Each group of works contains, if they were preserved, samples and analyses of the method of commentation which is typical for that particular group, author, or time of creation. The influence of the ancient works on later Byzantine lexicographic tradition is briefly mentioned, as well as which later works are origins for reconstruction of lost dictionaries. The table of known lexicographers and their works with references has been added to the thesis.

On the concept of composition in the writing On literary composition of Dionysius of Halicarnassus
Pavlík, Jiří ; Dostálová, Růžena (advisor) ; Muchnová, Dagmar (referee) ; Kurzová, Helena (referee)
The text relates to rhetorical theory, stylistics and the history of literary criticism. It deals with a theory of style which has been presented by Dionysius of Halicarnassus in his treatise On literary composition. The literary style is treated in his writing in view of its compositional aspect so-called synthese (gr. ) that is the manner in which the words are connected. The thesis is based on a critical and analytical reading of primary sources as well as to technical literature. It surveys the recent research into several questions and deals with the compositional aspects of style in context of contemporary interest in the Hellenistic euphonic poetics. After two introductory chapters which deal with the Dionysius extant critical writings and the manuscripts and structure of the treatise On literary compositon, the thesis introduces the Dionysian concept of the synthese and its historical and conceptual background. The third chapter deals with a delimitation of the synthese and the other stylistic fields relating to the word selection (gr. ) as well as with the pre-eminence of the synthese considering its aesthetic impression. The next chapter presents three patterns of the conception of the synthese which appear in the Dionysian writing in different measure. Dionysius focuses on the third of them...

Osthoff's law and vowel shortening in Ancient Greek
Bakyta, Ján ; Pultrová, Lucie (referee) ; Muchnová, Dagmar (advisor)
Osthoff's Law which has been formulated by Hermann Osthoff as a rule explaining the alternation of the long and short vowels (diphtongs) in some Ancient Greek pardigmata in a better way than the assumption of an old ablaut does is investigated in the present study by considering the possibilities of econstruction and the alternatives of historical development of the paradigmata in which is the Osthoffian vowel shortening usually supposed. r * The results are e. g. that Greek nouns in - have used the generalized full grade suffix -- in original inflection, that the desinence of the accusative plural of -stems -ans can be derived immediately from the Indo-European *-ah2ns and that the desinence of Indo-European thematic instrumental plural was *-oh1is. The general conclusion reached is that there is no need to postulate the former operation of Osthoff's Law in any of the considered morphological issues. The Law, in consequence, is loosing his utility at least in the field of Greek historical morphology.

Bláhová, Magdalena ; Krylová, Barbora (referee) ; Muchnová, Dagmar (advisor)
In the fi.rst part of this study I have tried to introduce the schema and content of the oldest preserved Greek grammar known as the Techne Grammatike of Dionysios Thrax and show it in the light of its historical background. Attention has been also paid to the authenticity problem connected with the Techne and its dating. The problem is rather complex and has not been solved yet. . · ;j::;"'J.,.,c ť~, · In the main part I ha ve translated the Greek text /and pr~vided a tommentary to particular parts.

Verbal aspect in ancient Greek
Vařeková, Jarmila ; Pultrová, Lucie (referee) ; Muchnová, Dagmar (advisor)
V této práci jsem načrtla hlavní body a problémy slovesné kategorie vidu, její realizace a jejích funkcí ve starořečtině. Vycházela jsem z definice kategorie vidu, jak ji podúvá obecná lingvistika, nikoliv primárně z klasicko-filologického přístupu. Domnívám se, že tento přístup může být přínosný pro gramatiku starořečtiny, neboť dovoluje nahlížet jazykové jevy z nového úhlu pohledu. Vidový systém ve starořečtině má rysy společné se současnými neslovanskými indoevropskými jazyky i rysy společné se specifickým vidovým systémem slovanským. Stejně jako např. v angličtině či francouzštině se ve starořečtině vidová opozice imperfektivní : perfektivní realizuje v indikativu pouze na úrovni minulého času (opozice indikativních forem imperfekta a aoristu). Vidová opozice se však uplatňuje i v modálních a nominálních formách slovesa. podobně jako ve slovanských jazycích. Vid v řečtině totiž nevyjadřují samotné slovesné tvary (jako v angličtině a francouzštině), ale slovesné kmeny (prézentní, aoristový. perfekta). Ve slovanštině tak vid pronikl hlouběji do slovesného systému, slovesa vytvářejí vidové dvojice a v indikativu je vid uplatňován nejen na úrovni minulého času, ale i na úrovni času budoucího. Řecké futurum je narozdíl od slovanského vidově neutrální. V kapitole 2.5.3. jsme se podrobněji zabývali...
