Subjunctive in Italian and its Czech equivalents in the parallel corpus InterCorp
Kordošová, Karolína ; Štichauer, Pavel (advisor) ; Špaček, Jiří (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to describe the problems of the Italian subjunctive and its appropriate translation into Czech. At first, we will put forward the general definition of this verbal mode itself, then we will proceed to the description of its form and function in Italian. The major part of the thesis will be focused on the comparison of selected verbs in subjunctive with its Czech equivalents. Its expressions will be often ambiguous due to the absence of this verbal mode in Czech. That is why we use the parallel corpus InterCorp which will help us to analyse this part. We will introduce its useful function and wide application too. Finally, we will summarize the data.

The Italian gerund and its Czech equivalents: a parallel-corpus based study
Jarkovská, Jana ; Štichauer, Pavel (advisor) ; Špaček, Jiří (referee)
The Italian gerund and its Czech equivalents: a parallel-corpus based study The Italian gerund is a frequent indefinite verbal form. It's usually used in different verbal constructions or in implicit phrases. In those it can have various functions. We can classify gerundio modale, strumentale, temporale, causale, ipotetico, concessivo and gerundio coordinato. In this study is used a Czech-Italian parallel corpus InterCorp to analyze the gerund closer. It was found out that the most frequent gerunds in italian texts are these: facendo, cercando, guardando, dicendo, parlando, essendo, lasciando, pensando, avendo, passando, seguendo, andando, ridendo, sorridendo, indicando, vedendo, diventando, tenendo, correndo and dando. A sub-corpus, texts by I. Calvino, was chosen in order to compare these most common forms in general with the most frequent gerunds from single texts. The study analyzes particular examples of the gerunds, their functions and their translations into the Czech language in this sub-corpus. The different types of translations are classified according to the classification made by S. Hamplová in her Mluvnice italštiny (Italian Grammar). In accordance with this source the gerund in the sub-corpus is mostly translated by a coordinated or subordinated phrase, a nominal construction or by a...

The verbs of movement in Spanish and their equivalents in Czech
Kindermannová, Marie ; Čermák, Petr (advisor) ; Zavadil, Bohumil (referee)
The bachelor thesis is based on assumption that the Spanish verbs of movement differ se-mantically from their Czech equivalents. The paralel corpus proves this statement and works as the basic instrument for the numerical and semantic research of the equivalents. The meanings of the Spanish verbs are described consequently emphasizing the elements which cannot be found in the Czech language or which are different and can cause difficul-ties to a Czech native speaker.

Passive forms in Italian and Czech from the perspective of functional styles
Čechová, Petra ; Obstová, Zora (advisor) ; Štichauer, Pavel (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to theoretically describe periphrastic and reflexive passive in both Italian and Czech language, to establish approximate frequency of Italian periphrastic passive in different functional styles with the help of parallel corpus InterCorp (version 8) and to analyse the means of its translation into Czech. The initial theoretical part deals with a brief description of grammatical categories of verbs, then it focuses on grammatical voice and diathesis and it discuss further the differences in the notion of these terms. Subsequent chapters deal with formal aspects of the passive in both Italian and Czech, with its function and with the restrictions of its use. The last chapter describes the use of the passive in functional styles. The following practical part describes in brief InterCorp and subsequently deals with the problem of analysing the approximate frequency of periphrastic passive in the belles-lettres, newspapers and official type of texts. Finally, it analyses 200 instances of the periphrastic passive in each of the previously mentioned functional styles and it focuses on the means of its translation into Czech.

Finnish Epistemic Modals in Contrastive Perspective
Janoušková, Kateřina ; Fárová, Lenka (advisor) ; Čermáková, Anna (referee)
This corpus based diploma thesis takes stock of Finnish epistemic modal verbs voida, saattaa, taitaa and mahtaa and surveys their translational counterparts as they can be found in the parallel corpus InterCorp. The aim of the thesis is to find out what tendencies there can be found in the translation of the modals in question. In the theoretical part, there is, firstly, a description of both modality and modal verbs in Finnish and Czech, secondly, of the differences between the approaches to modality in both languages and, thirdly, of the features of translated language. In the analytical part, the translations are sorted out into categories based on the particular modal specifiers. The description of the different modal specifier categories follows.

Epistemic modality in Italian in comparison to Czech: the Italian \kur{forse} and its Czech counterparts in the parallel corpus InterCorp
KOCLÍŘOVÁ, Kristýna
The main theme of this bachelor thesis is the epistemic modality in Italian in comparison to Czech: the Italian forse and its Czech counterparts in the parallel corpus InterCorp. The thesis is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical ones. The theoretical part deals with the term of modality, the classification of modality and with the epistemic modality and with the ways and the means of its expression in Italian. In the practical one there follow chapters about adverb forse, introduction to the topic of corpus lingustics, corpus and the itself analysis which shows some ways of translation of the above mentioned adverb. The last mentioned matter is going to be realized with the aid of two subcorpuses created in the parallel corpus InterCorp. In the final section of the last chapter is to be found a table of results of various ways of translation and a graph showing the frequency of these occurrences.

"Etoffement" in French as a problem of translation and linguistics
LAPÁČKOVÁ, Nina
This thesis deals with the French Supplementations (étoffement), which when converted to Czech are usually resolved with a simple prepositions because word by word translation in this case was flawed. Its objective is based on the phenomena to be investigated to establish similarities and deduce a general theory of (general model) that would characterize the formation and use of French Supplementations and also ascertain to what extent is Supplementations translation and linguistic problem. For the purposes of the objectives was used parallel corpus Intercorp. The work is divided into five chapters, during which it is committed to the most comprehensive source of description and characterization of the French Supplementations and not least also to reveal the reasons why these constructions in French translation into Czech discharged.
