MDM is located on the websites Vokabulář webový (Web Vocabulary), run by Ústav pro jazyk český AV ČR, v. v. i. (Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic – Czech Language Institute). Begun in 2012, MDM contains digital „facsimilia“ of prints from the 16th to 19th century, mainly of grammars of the Czech language, and their characteristics in text, annotations and references.

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.

Selected Aspects of Czech Word Order - Three theoretical approaches
NOVÁKOVÁ, Veronika
Czech word order is considered rather flexible. Clitics are one case of restrictiv word order in Czech. The aim of this thesis is to come to know the concept of clitics in three approaches - classic czech approach, aproach of functional generative description and approach of generative grammar. Clitics are usually understood as one-syllable words, that can?t bear stress and for reasons of prosodic they form an accentual unit with the word that proceeds them or that follows them. If clitics form a unit with a proceeding word, they are referred to as enclitics, if they form a unit with following word, they?re referred to as proclitics. This thesis will deal mainly with pronominal enclitics. Enclitics have quite restrictive placement in the sentence structure. This thesis is divided in chapters. In the first chapter each theoretical approach is discussed. Then I discuss partial topic in works of three authors ? Václav Ertl, František Trávníček and Ludmila Uhlířová. In chapter 4 I define the topic of my research, which is manners of enclitics in complex sentences with infitives. In this chapter I also describe the way the three theoretical approaches discuss this topic. Last chapter is dedicated to the research. At first the methodology is established. Research was processed on the basis of data from the Czech National Corpus (CNC). The description of results comes after, by processing the data from CNC the lists of verbs were built, which verbs ehibit the similar manners of clitics.

The usage of an InterCorp parallel corpus to obtain equivalents for a Croatian-Czech dictionary
Jirásek, Karel
In the year 2010, the parallel Croatian-Czech corpus, which is part of the InterCorp project, exceeded 10 million tokens in both language versions and therefore it was possible to proceed to its practical use in finding equivalents for the Croatian-Czech dictionaries being prepared. The indicated size of the corpus has proved to be quite adequate for building a medium size dictionary, which should contain approximately 20 thousand entries. In the case of frequent entries, due to the confrontation of two languages, this corpus size is often adequate to capture the polysemy of words better than some existing explanatory or bilingual dictionaries. This is a great advantage, especially for the creation of bilingual dictionaries of two closely related languages.
