Light verb constructions and their using in German journalistic texts
Pekárková, Ludmila ; Zeman, Dalibor (advisor) ; Martschini, Elisabeth (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with issue of light verb constructions and its usage in German journalistic texts. The objective of the theoretical part is to explain on the basis of scholarly literature basic terms such as light verb construction (LVC), function verb and full verb. After that light verb constructions are also distinguished by syntactic and semantic criteria, which specify the rules for usage of light verb constructions in practice. The individual rules are shown on example sentences. The objective of practical part is to analyze and compare usage of light verb constructions in German journalistic texts (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Bild) using tables as well as graph sands identify from semantic view point which types of light verb constructions were in texts most often. On the basis of this observation it was found out that serious newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung contained more of these constructions than tabloid Bild. This fact derives from usage of nominal style, which is preferred in official and journalistic texts nowadays. Keywords light verb construction, function verb, full verb, journalistic texts

Passive in Legal language in German and Czech. Contrastive analysis
Pekárková, Ludmila ; Zeman, Dalibor (advisor) ; Martschini, Elisabeth (referee)
The presented diploma thesis is concerned with German-Czech comparison of the passive voice in legal language. In the theoretical part, the issue of German and Czech passive voice is explained through technical secondary literature. One can find there their basic forms differentiation, the way of their formation, their use in sentences and other basic characteristics. Furthermore, this part introduces the issue of technical language as the current area of today's linguistics. The theoretical findings are employed in the practical part, namely on the Maastricht contract. Firstly, the passive of the German variant of the document is analyzed followed by the analysis of the Czech version. Both of these parts are the starting point of the contrasting exploration of the two language varieties of the mentioned legal document. Czech alternatives to their German passive voice constructions were found, following these three criteria: substitution of German passive voice by Czech active voice, semantic dissonance between the two variants, and the absence of certain passive constructions in the Czech contract. At the end of the thesis, there is an evaluation of the following four hypotheses which were stated at the beginning. The first three hypotheses, which are concerned with matters such as the superiority...
