Epistemic modality: the Spanish probablemente, posiblemente, acaso, tal vez and their Czech equivalents
Erbenová, Adéla ; Čermák, Petr (advisor) ; Zavadil, Bohumil (referee)
Epistemic modality expresses the speaker's degree of confidence about the content of the proposition. One of its realisations in Spanish is lexically through adverbials such as probablemente. If these adverbials are followed by a verb, it may be in indicative or subjunctive form. According to the norm, the choice of the verb mood depends on the degree of speaker's confidence. In this study the norm is compared with examples from the corpus - the usage. Factors that influence the choice of the verb mood are thoroughly described. Czech equivalents of the analyzed formulations are also analyzed.

Spanish determiners este, ese, aquel and their Czech equivalents
Erbenová, Adéla ; Čermák, Petr (advisor) ; Kratochvílová, Dana (referee)
The thesis is focused on the Spanish determiners este, ese, aquel, the definite article and their anaphoric function. First, the theoretical groundwork for the latter analysis is built: the deter- miners are characterized together with the anaphora as a device of discourse coherence. Then, the choice between the demonstratives este, ese, aquel and the defi- nite article in different types of nominal anaphora is analyzed using examples from the parallel corpus InterCorp. Diverse factors influencing this choice are examined. The analysis is extended with a comparative analysis in which Czech equivalents of the Spanish determiners in the same types of anaphora are compared.
