Stiborová, Noemi Anna ; Smažíková, Adéla (advisor) ; Kratochvílová, Dana (referee)
This thesis deals with evaluative pragmatic markers in Spanish. It delimits them on the basis of literature from both Spanish and Czech ambient. Likewise, it defines the evaluative modal meaning. It concentrates primarily on the analysis of selected markers (afortunadamente, desafortunadamente, desgraciadamente, lamentablemente, por desgracia a por suerte) in the corpus InterCorp and it describes their translations to Czech. It characterizes the Czech respondents as emotional particles. Also, it summarizes clasifications of Spanish pragmatic markers and pays attention to evaluative adverbs of utterance in Spanish. Everything is based on the accessible relevant literature. Partly, the work focuses on the position of the markers in a sentence. It comes to a conclusion that the positive pragmatic markers por suerte and afortunadamente are mostly translated as naštěstí. The most frequent respondents of the other, semanticly negative markers, are bohužel and naneštěstí. Key words: Pragmatic markers, modal meaning evaluative, utterance, corpus, Spanish

Kavko, Marharyta ; Krinková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Kratochvílová, Dana (referee)
The purpose of this bachelor's thesis was the analysis of the Spanish gerund and its translated analogues in Czech and Russian languages along with a comparative analysis of the translations. The main goal of the thesis is to discover which translation equivalents were chosen for the Czech and Russian languages, if they have any similarity and what kind of difference in the translation tradition appears. The main sources for the theoretical part were prominent Spanish, Czech and Russian grammatic and linguistic works. As the source of material for the contrastive analysis of the translation from Spanish to Czech was used the parallel Czech-Spanish corpus InterCorp. For the contrastive analysis of the translation from Spanish to Russian was used the method of manual excerpting from the officially published Russian translation. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Tajbl, Tadeáš ; Čermák, Petr (advisor) ; Kratochvílová, Dana (referee)
This thesis focuses on the distribution of the regular and irregular participles of the verbs elegir, freír, imprimir, prender and proveer, and aims to determine whether the theoretical language description given in Nueva gramática de la lengua española corresponds to the actual language usage. The thesis is divided into two parts: a theoretical one and a practical one. The theoretical part presents a classification of participles and covers its grammatical features in terms of morphology, syntax and diachrony (language evolution). Furthermore, the theoretical part explains the methods of research, that is, the corpus analysis, and describes the characteristics of the corpora used. The practical part introduces the process and the results of the corpus data analysis. It examines the occurrences of the regular and irregular participles in the following contexts: (a) Participle in a compound verb form (meaning the perfect verb tenses, the passive voice, and the verbal periphrases); (b) participle with an adjectival function; and (c) participle with a substantive function. The conclusion of each chapter and of the thesis itself summarizes the key findings, generalizes them, and compares them with the "rules" mentioned in Nueva gramática de la lengua española.
