Language analysis of the early printed book Life of the blessed Agnes... from 1666
Turková, Táňa ; Adam, Robert (referee) ; Kučera, Karel (advisor)
This thesis gives a basic language characteristic of the ear1y printed book Life ol the Blessed Agnes... from 1666 from the orthographical, phonetic, morphological, syntactic and lexical perspective. Transcription of the text of this record is also part of the thesis. The examined text is a translation from Latin which originated at the beginnig of the 15th century and was printed according to an old manuscript in 1666. The printing contains extra explanatory marginalia which were added by the publisher. The legend was printed using the Moravian orthography and contains some mistakes due to trascription of the digraphic orthography which was used in the old manuscript. The quantity of vowels is marked, however the graphic form of the printing gives information more about the quantity of Czech in the 1 i h century rather than of Czech in the 15th century. The graphics of the legend reflects some changes which were happening in the phonetic system at that time but the phonetic Czech of the legend basically agrees with the Czech today. More differences in comparison with present Czech can be found in morphology. Compared to today' s Czech concrete formative differences which originated in Old Czech (system oftenses, participle forms, dec1ination of some nouns and numerals) show themselves within particular...

The Latin-Czech dictionary of Clementinum (general characteristics, verb translation analysis, edition)
Voleková, Kateřina ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (referee) ; Kučera, Karel (advisor)
The Latin-Czech dictionary of Clementinum is presented in this study as a medieval work, on which creation participate two main ways of medieval literary production, imitatio and aemulatio (imitation and competition). These two ways show themselves above all in the structure of the dictionary, which is characterised by the following features: combining partial glossaries, ordered both by subject and in alphabetical order; the way of handling its sources; the dependence on its models; the method of translation. Apart from the general characteristics of the text, this study analyses the translation of the verbs in the verbal part of the dictionary, concentrating mainly on loans, calques and hapax legomena. It also includes an edition of the dictionary.

The verb smět and its competitors in the corresponding modal meanings in contemporary Czech texts and Czech texts of 1550-1650
Čermáková, Alena ; Rejzek, Jiří (referee) ; Kučera, Karel (advisor)
This dissertation is dwelling on the comparison of meanings and functions of verbs (ne)smě? (may, mustn 't) and their meaning a function competitors in the Kralice Bible and in the ecumenical translation of the Holy Scriptures. It is divided into two parts. The first one tries to put (ne)smět into a wider language context. The introductory chapter is dedicated to language fields, which means of expression (ne)smět belongs to, it means to modality, voluntative modality and communicative function of speech. Various conceptions of their delimitations and divisions are shown there. The next part is dwelling on modal verbs. Their specific semantic and morfosyntactic features, the process of forming of this group of verbs and various views of the number of its members are introduced. The fourth chapter is dwelling on verbs (ne)smět, their etymology, way of their presentation in various Czech dictionaries and meanings and functions, which they expressed and express now. In the final chapter of theoretical part the theory of functional semantic field, which was one of the methodological starting points of this work, is briefly represented, then the competitors of (ne)smět in its individual meanings and functions are mentioned. The second part of the work is dedicated to the research itself. At first the...

The present state in declension of Czech nouns belonging to types kámen, břímě
Šimandl, Josef ; Čermák, František (advisor) ; Kučera, Karel (referee) ; Rusínová, Lenka (referee)
There are two groups of noun in Czech - the type kámen 'stone' among inanimate masculine nouns, and the type břemeno/břímě 'burden' among neuters - that vary between the "hard" and "soft" declension. The kernel of both groups was n-stems in Old Slavonic. Their ancient endings are reflected as soft endings in present-day Czech. During the development, former n-stems acquired also hard endings, for the plural commonly, for the singular to a various extent. Acquiring newer endings was reflected in language handbooks; however, long-term processes were sometimes overestimated and a development was anticipated that in fact still did not happen. The thesis submitted tries to describe the state of form variation according to approachable data about the present usage. The data source was the representative corpus of present-day Czech SYN2000, as a supplementary source other corpora (incl. user-defined subcorpus SYNod2000), and the Internet. Findings from the diachronic corpus DIAKORP, supplemented by electronic excerpts from further diachronic texts, partly illuminate the development of the variation observed, as well as electronic excerpts from Kralice Bible (1613). ...

Word order in late Old Czech (1500-1620): status of a synthetic predicate in the main sentence
Zikánová, Šárka ; Kučera, Karel (advisor) ; Hajičová, Eva (referee) ; Šlosar, Dušan (referee)
The word order of Slavie languages is an important point of interest of both Czech and foreign linguists. The Czech word order has been described e.g. by L. Uhlířová, by the so called Prague School of Functional Sentence Perspective (P. Sgall, E. Hajičová, E. Buráňová), by J. Firbas and A. Svoboda. Recently, new works referring to the theme are published abroad. (Franks - King 2000, Zybatow et al. 2001 ). The word order- or, more exactly, the ordering of the verb, the subject and the object in a sentence constitutes a basis for the word order typology of languages. The typology distinguishes SVO-languages (subject - verb - object), SOV -languages and others (Encyklopedický slovník češtiny, 2002: 503). According to the typology, present Czech is an SVO-language: the verb usually follows the subject and the object is placed after the verb (cf. the term systemic ordering in the Czech linguistic tradition, Sgall - Hajičová- Buráňová, 1980: 77). As the handbooks of the history of the Czech language show, there was a phase in the development of Czech during which a predicate verb was often placed at the end of a sentence. 1 This characteristics is mentioned in the linguistic literature usually in connection with the Czech in the period of humanism (cf. Havránek, 1979). (This period begins in the 14th_15th century...

Czech grammatography and cultural reflection of Czech language in the years 1533-1672
Koupil, Ondřej ; Kučera, Karel (advisor) ; Šlosar, Dušan (referee) ; Berger, Tilman (referee)
Čtyři kapitoly, kterými jsme prošli, měly gramatografickou reflexi češtiny v 16. a 17. století představit jednak v kontextu filologického jazykověreflexivniho úsilí, jak se rozvíjelo od starověku, jednak v její vnitřní dynamice. Vycházeli jsme z primárních textů samých a snažili jsme se syntetizovat poznatky dosavadního bádání, trvajícího v různé intenzitě zhruba od 60. let 19. století. Takové inventis addere, jak o něm mluví poslední motto, nebylo díky píli předchůdkyň a předchůdců tak obtížné. Na konci práce, post jinem, vidíme, že mnohé detaily musely být při pokusu o úhrnný obraz opomenuty, a že výsledkem práce je tedy spíše jakýsi vstupní přehled, který může posloužit jako východisko dalšímu bádání o gramatikách češtiny ajejich vydávání. Dluh zůstává hlavně ve zkoumání vztahů jednotlivých gramatik mezi sebou.
