Šorsáková, Gabriela ; Štichauer, Pavel (advisor) ; Ebrová, Agáta (referee)
Title: Italian similes in the construction ADJ come ... and their Czech counterparts in the parallel corpus InterCorp. Objectives: Outline the possibility of translating specific types of Italian similes into Czech, evaluate translation options in terms of equivalence and construction, with an emphasis on potential changes in construction copared to the given "ADJ-come-N" structure, and determine the occurrence rates of Italian similes in the SYN corpus. Methods: Conduct a theoretical analysis of the "ADJ-come-N" simile structure and define the concepts of phraseology and idiomatice. Utilize the itWaC corpus to obtain samples of comparisons and subsequently select examples for detailed examination. Lastly, propose and select translations in the Dicitonary of Phraseology and Idiomatics (Volume Similes), simultaneously using the InterCorp (version 16). For defining Italian similes, employ Italian dictionaries such as Dizionario dei modi di dire della lingua italiana and Grande dizionario italiano. Results: Theoretical delineation of similes and their structure, including the definition of phraseology and idiomatice. Identification of simile samples for practical analysis and proposal of translations based on the analysis results using relevant sources. Conclusion: Evaluate the possibility of...

Sequence of tenses in Italian and its possible translations into Czech
Králová, Anna ; Obstová, Zora (advisor) ; Ebrová, Agáta (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the topic of the sequence of tenses in Italian and its translation into Czech. The sequence of tenses in Italian represents a means of expressing temporal relations between sentences in a complex sentence. Since the sequence of tenses represents a complex and essential phenomenon of Italian grammar, which the Czech language does not possess, this thesis aims to outline an overview of the ways in which the Czech language copes with this difference when translating from Italian. The thesis is divided into two parts, the first part containing a theoretical introduction to the sequence of tenses phenomenon in Italian, and a theoretical overview of the morphological and lexical means used to translate temporal relations into Czech. The second part of the thesis presents the procedure and subsequent summary of the practical analysis results of selected translations of Italian sentences from the InterCorp corpus. The sentences selected for analysis were those that contained one of two chosen Italian verbs (pensare, credere) in indicative, one of the Italian past tenses (passato prossimo, passato remoto, imperfetto, trapassato prossimo) in the main clause that introduces a dependent clause connected with the Italian conjunction che as the linking expression between the...

Multi-Word Expressions in Calvino's Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno and Their Equivalents in Czech Translation
Ebrová, Agáta ; Obstová, Zora (advisor) ; Štichauer, Pavel (referee)
This diploma thesis is embodied in a wider phraseological project CREAMY (Calvino REpertoire for the Analysis of Multilingual PhraseologY) solved at the University of Rome La Sapienza. The aim of the thesis was to compare the Italian multi-word expressions from the novel Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno, written by Italo Calvino, with their counterparts in the Czech translation by Libor Piruchta, with the aid of a data-set obtained through the phraseological web database CREAMY. Processing of part of the Czech entries into the database was integral to writing the thesis. The work is divided into theoretical and practical part. The first chapter of the theoretical part provides basic information about the CREAMY project and the web application of the same name, which is the main tool used in the research within the project. The second chapter deals with the basic typological properties of the studied languages with emphasis on morphosyntax and word formation. The third chapter is devoted to multi-word expressions and their conception in the Italian and Czech linguistic tradition. The introductory chapter of the practical part describes the procedure of entry processing in the CREAMY application. In this chapter, we present two specific examples of processed entries but we also point out the...
