Pragmatic lemmatizer of Czech language
Vacek, Matěj ; Strossa, Petr (advisor) ; Kliegr, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis is focused on lemmatizing of nouns and adjectives. It is based on morphology of Czech language. The goal is to create a lemmatizer which can stem words with success rate 90% (at least). At the same time the lemmatizer should be very easy, it should consist as little rules as possible. Lemmatizer will be created to work with real estate adverts, especially houses for sale. In this thesis there will be made an analysis of specific characters of this area. Lemmatizer will be created according to results of this analysis. Lemmatizer was written in Java. Only three types of rules were used and generally the lemmatizer created correct stems in 96.4% of all words.

Czech as a foreign language. Modified linguistic description of the selected grammatical categories of Czech
KUTLÁKOVÁ, Michala
The goal of this dissertation is to propose and develop theoretical linguistic basis for the branch of Czech as a foreign language. Specifically, it deals with the complex linguistic description of Czech grammar in the function of a foreign language, which would introduce a theoretical solution for the processing of didactic grammars of Czech for foreigners. This description is supposed to provide such a range of linguistic information, which depending on the purpose, enables the variable processing of language structures and simultaneously clarifying the relationships and connections between them. Above mentioned linguistic description of Czech as a foreign language is focused on a specific group of non-native speakers, in our case, a group of non-native speakers, whose mother tongue is German. As it is a model process of description in this dissertation, the attention is only paid to the selected grammatical categories of Czech, namely the grammatical category of the genitive of substantives and verbal aspect. The issue of the description of the grammar of a natural language is initially discussed in general terms, in the part where we define the types of grammars that are relevant to our work. Subsequently we characterize both languages, i.e. Czech and German, in the terms of their differentiation, stratification and typological point of view. The particular linguistic description and its model application, which is the core of this work, is called a modified linguistic description with the reference to Dolník J. (1993). This description is based on five sources. These are the theoretical works of leading Czech and Slovak linguists, dealing with the issue of natural language and works describing Czech grammar. Further starting points for the proposed comprehensive description of Czech grammar is to define particular reference levels according to SERR for Czech as a foreign language, a research unit focused on the target group of non-native speakers and their perception of the difficulties of Czech grammatical phenomena, and last but not least, the research probe carried out in the particular corpora of the Czech National Corpus.

The Transgressive Constructions in the Baroque Texts
KAMENÍK, Josef
The topic of this diploma thesis is an analysis of the baroque period's transgressives. Both the contemporary norm relative to the transgressives and its theoretical reflexion are observed on the base of five grammar writings from the given historic age. An obtained knowledge is then compared with a material excerpted from the writings corresponding to their date of origin during the period in baroque. The oldest of these scholarly writings is "Mappa katolická" by Jiří Plachý, followed by "Kronika klattovská" written by Jan Florián Hammerschmid and a late baroque polemic "Obzvláštné pravdy náboženství katholického" by Jan Hubálek. In this thesis, the transgressives are examined from both phonological and morphological point of view, but the greatest emphasis is placed on problematic facets, such as the gender congruence, the aspect of source verb and the transgressives' meaning derived from the primal participles. The diploma thesis sets its goal to describe the state of baroque transgressives and their using in contemporary literature as exactly as possible. Beside of these, it aims to specify the trend, on which end is the current wither of these grammatical forms.

Effect of the Czech Stemming Algorithm on the Document Retrieval
Pytelka, Petr ; Strossa, Petr (advisor) ; Pinkas, Otakar (referee)
This thesis deals with the measurement of the quality of the stemming/lemmatization algo-rithm for the Czech language in document processing systems and provides an analysis of the results. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the principles of the full-text search, the possibilities of implementation as well as the common problems which have to be solved in connection with the processing of natural language. Methods of evaluating the quality of lemmatization, using recall and precision, are discussed. In addition, the theoret-ical part covers the method of measuring the index of under-stemming and over-stemming, which can be applied for the purposes of a more detailed evaluation. An experiment for evaluating the lemmatization algorithms is proposed in the second part of the thesis. A specialized application has been developed to perform the experiment in three different systems, namely Apache Lucene, the PostgreSQL database systems and the Microsoft SQL Server. The experiment is based on the Prague Dependency Treebank cor-pus. It has been carried out both for the corpus as a whole and for selected word classes separately. Further analysis of the results for Czech stemmer in Apache Lucene leads to a proposal for several modifications of the algorithm. Such modifications result in measurable improvements. The results achieved show how metrics discussed, together with the values measured, can be used for improving the lemmatization algorithms and thus to improve the full-text search for Czech language.

The Education for Czech Languague at the Family of Johann Nepomuk von Schwarzenberg
PSOTKOVÁ, Jana
The present Bachelor's thesis deals with the education for Czech language at the family of Johann Nepomuk von Schwarzenberg. Our account is based on the textbook Knjžka k učenj se česky, which was written in 1778 for the young prince Joseph of Schwarzenberg. The study endeavours to reconstruct the contents and the form of the manual. Secondly, I attempt to make a comparative analysis of our textbook with Czech grammar manuals from the 18th century. Furthermore, I try to identify its author. The Bachelor's thesis is divided into five chapters. The introduction surveys the current scholarship related to the subject of our research and the archival sources. The first two chapters discuss the development of Czech language in the 18th century. I describe the situation of the Czech language in the 18th century and the developments of the Czech linguistic research in the 18th century. The third chapter explores the Bohemian aristocracy?s relation to the Czech language in the period from the 16th to the 18th century. The fourth chapter presents the history of Czech language within the Schwarzenberg family. The fundamental part of our work is the fifth chapter, which analyzes the Schwarzenberg textbook and addresses the following problems: the method of the linguistic education, the contents, the language and the authorship of the textbook. In conclusion I sum up the results of my research.
