On the semantics of cardinal numerals
Poncarová, Alena ; Bozděchová, Ivana (advisor) ; Vaňková, Irena (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to examine the semantics of cardinal numerals, specifically numeral one (Chapter 2.3), numeral three (Chapter 2.4) and numeral five (Chapter 2.5). The data proceeding method used is as follows. Firstly, paragraphs dealing with various given numerals have been examined in explanatory dictionaries with special attention being paid to different semantic types. Secondly, the occurence of numerals one, three and five in Czech National Corpus have been examined especially with regards to different collocations, in which these numerals usually occur. A detailed description of the method used can be found in Chapter 2. The results of both approaches have been compared and conclusions drawn concerning the semantic validity of the given numerals. In addition, using this comparison, the relevancy and actuality of the information provided in explanatory dictionaries for current language usage have been examined. Conclusions are included in Chapter 3.

The text discusses the appellativisation and the appellativised names first from the general point of view, after which the focus changes to the analysis of appellativised names which were taken from a two part dictionary Nová slova v češtině. The analysed material is accompanied by examples of the appellativised names which appear in the articles and discussions on the internet, which were published over the last five years.

The lexical means of indefinite quantification in the current Czech
Veselý, Vojtěch ; Bozděchová, Ivana (advisor) ; Nebeská, Iva (referee)
Neurčité lexikální kvantifikátory kvantum jenom udávají (několik), jenom hodnotí (přinejmenším), nebo udávají i hodnotí (většina kvantifikátoru, např. mnoho). Kvantum pouze hodnotí kvantifikátory synsémantické (částicové), ostatní kvantifikátory jsou autosémantické. Částicové kvantifikátory hodnotí nejen kvantum vyjádřené explicitně, ale též kvantum implikované. Autosémantické kvantifikátory mohou být adjektivní, číslovkové nebo příslovcové. Hodnotící složka kvantifikace má relační povahu. Udávané/udané kvantum je velikostně porovnáno s kvantem bázovým a na základě toho hodnoceno jako velké, nebo jako malé. Některé částicové kvantifikátory hodnotí také velikost rozdílu mezi oběma kvanty. Báze kvantifikace může být vázána subj ektivně/intersubj ekti vně, nebo objektivně. Subjektivně/intersubjektivně vázáno je kvantum, které mluvčí v určité situaci pociťuje jako standardní nebo jako nejmenší (už) žádoucí, popř. jako největší (ještě) žádoucí. Objektivně vázáno je kvantum reálné nebo kvantum, které odděluje uskutečnění děje od jeho neuskutečnění. Udávané/udané kvantum může mít povahu mnohosti, rozsahu nebo intenzity. V případě kvantifikace sloves mohou být potenciálně vyjádřeny všechny tyto významy (současně). Rozlišujeme kvantifikaci primární a sekundární: sekundární je takový kvantifikátor, který kvantifikuje...

Aspectual structure of -pad- radix verbal derivates
Jindra, Vojtěch ; Bozděchová, Ivana (referee) ; Uličný, Oldřich (advisor)
The work is based on a novel approach of associating verbs with various affixes on the basis of similar meanings. Using electronic sources data, the thesis paper captures the system of verbal derivatives of the -pad- radix in 53 entries that comprise their dictionary definition, an analysis of characteristic valence structures and, above all, a large number of examples. More than thousand various records extracted from the Czech National Corpus and the internet may be found in this paper. Verbs with the -pad- radix exist in three aspectual forms - as -nou- suffix perfectives, -a- suffix imperfectives, and -va- suffix secondary imperfectives. Moreover, these forms form combinations with 14 various prefixes (in addition to non-prefix forms and povy- and zprodouble- prefix forms): do-, na-, o-, od-, po-, pro-, pře-, při-, roz-, s-, u-, v-, vy-, za-. As I have shown, certain verbal meanings are characteristic for each of these prefixes; in addition, the positions of some aspectual forms do not have to be realised in the structure.
