Dřízalová, Alena ; Lemeškin, Ilja (advisor) ; Montvilaite-Sabaitiene, Geda (referee)

Modality is the category by which speakers express attitudes towards the event contained in the proposition. Epistemic modality indicates the extent to which the speaker is committed to the truth of the proposition, deontic modality characterizes process expressed by predicate as necessary, enabled or intentional. Summary of lexical and gramamtical means of expression of modality is based on data obtained from Corpus of Contemporary Lithuanian language and Czech-Lithuanian Parallel corpus. Analysis of modal expressions of original Lithuanian fiction text and its translation to Czech follows.

Main motives in Lithuanian literature from the nineties of Twentieth Century. Analysis and comparision of two perspectives.
Adamová, Jevgenija ; Montvilaite-Sabaitiene, Geda (advisor) ; Lemeškin, Ilja (referee)
(in English): The subject of the thesis is to compare two works from the nineties of the twentieth century written by Lithuanian authors. Namely, Leaves of Fallen Trees by Grigory Kanovich and Land of Glass by Vanda Juknaitė. Methodologically we are situated in the comparative studies. We will compare phenomena such as language and style of the works, the symbolism of their names and recurring themes. Furthermore, we compare the image and a reflection of history in both works. After a brief but detailed introduction to the authors and their works we will gradually discover elements and features of the works and we will compare and confront them together trying to penetrate their perception of the world and the questions specific to the time when the works have been written. An important contribution of the work is also Czech translation of Land of Glass by Vanda Juknaitė and notes about way of thinking and language world of the work.

Kaucká, Šárka ; Příhoda, Marek (advisor) ; Montvilaite-Sabaitiene, Geda (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the mutual reflection of contemporary Baltic countries. Based on the characteristics of the region like chapters from the historical development of the space, in which the Baltis states nowexist, and defining for our topic some specific cultural facts of countries, we find common and different features of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania and peoples, who inhabit it. Bachelor thesis on this scale similarities and differences indicates some of the mutual stereotypical ideas and automatic associations of Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians to the states in which they live and certain perceptions about each other and the Baltic mutuality. The bachalor thesis also touches orientation of states to other regions, or differences in the perception of proximity to other regions and nations.
