Míka, Kryštof ; Balanescu, Eleonora Olivia (advisor) ; Valentová, Libuše (referee)
1 Summary The thesis entitled Diminutives and Augmentatives in Contemporary Romanian Language and their Stylistic Use is focused on determining a classification which could describe every stylistic function of expressive words. The method I chose was to analyze three stylistic areas, create lists of expressive words with context and evaluate the results. From the beginning, it was evident that there were many connections between diminutives, augmentatives on one part and pejoratives on the other. That is a reason why I extended this thesis to cover also pejorative words. Firstly, I would like to describe the structure of this study. I decided to divide it into two parts. The first one is theoretical (1.0), and its aim is to synthesize information about suffix derivation and about diminutives, augmentatives and pejoratives in the Romanian language. In different linguistic studies, we find different classifications of observed suffixes and also their different quantities. Having reviewed these linguistic studies, I chose one which I found the best organized and, based on my own analysis, I also added some observations regarding the theory (2.4.5). Basically, there are two more suffixes which should be classified as diminutive (-ež, -uşă) and two as augmentative (-ime, - andru). Next theoretical topic to...

As for Bessarabia, since the territory between the Prut and The Nistru River was annexed to the Russian Empire, the development of the Romanian language began to be made towards a significantly different way from that in neighboring Romania. During this period, 1812 - 1918, the Romanian language was gradually losing its position in Bessarabia. In 1829, the use of the Romanian language was forbidden in the administration. In 1833, the use of Romanian language had been forbidden in churches. In 1842, the teaching in Romanian was forbidden for the secondary schools; it was forbidden for the elementary schools in 1860. After a century of Russian occupation, in the whole of Bessarabia there were released only a few hundred books in the Romanian language and primarily it was a religious literature. Also mass media were influenced by russification and their...
