Seková, Miroslava ; Štajnerová, Petra (advisor) ; Tichý, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis explores the use of the Web for solving some issues regarding Norwegian grammar. The theoretical part presents the principals of corpus linguistics, the possible use of the Web for linguistic purposes, the way internet search engines and the web corpus WebCorp work, and finally the basic terms like frequency and regular expressions. The practical part introduces the selected internet tools - the online Norwegian dictionary Norsk ordbok (Ordnett), Oslo-corpus, WebCorp and Google - with the focus on their search features. In the research itself the given tools are compared on the grounds of the search results for the queries simulating students' inquiries when uncertain about the grammar, most often about the right preposition. In conclusion, advantages and disadvantages of the individual tools are considered, particularly the extent of their accuracy and dependability.
