Czech-German interpreting in the Habsburg monarchy between 1740 and 1918
Klein, Anna ; Ešnerová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Mračková Vavroušová, Petra (referee)
The subject of this thesis is interpreting in the Habsburg Monarchy between 1740 and 1918. The aim is to analyse the communicative situations in which interpreting may have taken place in the space and time being studied. The whole issue will be tackled from the perspective of the language pair in question, that is Czech and German. This thesis consists of three parts. In the first part, we will introduce the context of the Habsburg Monarchy, focus on the definition of interpreting as an activity and as a profession, and then define the various factors that affect the presence of interpreting in the given context. In the second part, we will apply these factors to the reality of the Habsburg Monarchy and to individual communicative situations. The output of the second part will determine in which areas interpreting between Czech and German occurred and whether we can consider it to be a profession or not. In the final part of this thesis, we will focus on one area in which interpretating between Czech and German occurred most frequently in the given period and present it in greater detail.

New technologies in interpreting and the future developments in the interpreting profession
Kasík, Jan ; Ešnerová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Mračková Vavroušová, Petra (referee)
This master's thesis deals with new technologies in interpreting. It aims to describe technologies that are breaking through (or will be in the near future) to help predict how the interpreting profession will change. The thesis focuses on remote interpreting, computer assisted interpreting, and machine interpreting. The theoretical part describes the state of those various technologies and how they work. The empirical part consists of two parts: interviews and questionnaires. The goal of the interviews is to find out how the technologies in question are approached by not only professional interpreters but also experts and researchers who take part in developing them. The questionnaires survey the attitude of interpreters on the Czech market towards these technologies. The research showed that interpreters see technology mostly as a new possibility; however, for many, it still poses a threat. Despite the fast technological development, everything suggests that technology will not replace professional interpreters in the near future. Nonetheless, we can expect an increasing use of technology in interpreting. Keywords Interpreting, technology, remote interpreting, computer assisted interpreting, machine interpreting

Selected Aspects of Linguistic Analysis of the Source Text from the Perspective of Human Simultaneous Interpreting and Automated Simultaneous Translation from English into Czech
Purchartová, Petra ; Kloudová, Věra (advisor) ; Ešnerová, Kateřina (referee)
This interdisciplinary thesis focuses on linguistic features that might potentially cause problems both for human simultaneous interpreting and spoken language translation. The thesis also compares these features with actual human interpreting. The aim of the theoretical part is to define terminology, describe existing research and outline main bases of natural language processing, translation studies and linguistics. The theoretical outline then determines the second, empirical part of the thesis. The empirical part also uses a primary data source - a data corpus of European Parliament speeches, that were segmented into minimal translation units and translated during a student research project at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University. The empirical part is overall based on qualitative analysis of the annotated English source texts and actual interpreting into Czech, and tries to identify the most problematic linguistic features. The findings of the analysis together with the theory of translation then offer possible solutions for the spoken language translation technology.
