Neology in Contemporary French Lexicon
Hánková, Anna ; Listíková, Renáta (advisor) ; Müllerová, Eva (referee)
The present thesis deals with the study of neology and neologisms in contemporary French. The theoretical part defines the concepts of neology and neologism, word-formation processes in general and specific word-formation processes classified as formal neology, semantic neology and borrowings. The empirical part describes the formation of the corpus created for the purposes of the thesis, which is based on texts selected form current French press (the daily broadsheet Le Monde and the weekly tabloid Voici). The core section of the thesis presents samples and analyses of individual word-formation processes which appeared in the author's corpus. The data are accompanied by a basic statistical analysis of the relative proportions of individual word-formation processes. The research shows that borrowings, especially those from English, represent the most frequent word-formation process in both newspapers. Borrowings constituted nearly a half of all identified neologisms (45%) in Voici and nearly one third of the neologisms (28%) in Le Monde. KEYWORDS Neology, neologism, language registers, official word formation, word-formation processes, French press, Le Monde, Voici

Zíka, Ondřej ; Našinec, Jiří (advisor) ; Ungureanu, Dan (referee)

There is a comparison between adaptation of anglicisms in Czech and Romanian language. Next chapter describes also the difference between Czech and Romanian view on the definition of neologism. Examined are various cases including changing of the meaning, words that must be adopted, because they cannot be found in Romanian vocabulary or the opposite case - unnecessary anglicisms that have corresponding Romanian analogues.

Neologisms in Arundhati Roy's God of Small Things
Malá, Lucie ; Matuchová, Klára (advisor) ; Topolovská, Tereza (referee)
This thesis focuses on neologisms in the novel The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. It aims at describing their morpho-syntactic features, the word-formation processes from which they result, and their contextual function in the analysed text. The original text is compared with the Czech translation and the ways of translating neologisms in Czech are explored. The thesis explores three hypotheses. Firstly, the predominant word-formation process employed in creating neologisms in the text is likely to be compounding. Secondly, the Czech translation is expected to contain fewer neologisms than the original. Thirdly, it is supposed that the distribution of neologisms is not balanced throughout the book, and that their frequency will increase in those chapters which offer the children's perspective. Out of these three hypotheses the first and the third one were confirmed. The validity of the second hypothesis could be neither confirmed nor refuted, for that would require further research on the Czech translation of the text, which was beyond the scope of this thesis.
