The suffix -bile in present-day Italian and its equivalents in a parallel corpus
Weinertová, Veronika ; Štichauer, Pavel (advisor) ; Špaček, Jiří (referee)
This thesis deals with functional equivalents of Italian adjectives with the suffix -bile in present-day Italian based on the Czech-Italian parallel linguistic corpus InterCorp. In the opening theoretical part the main objective of the thesis is introduced - a comparison of the Czech suffix -telný with the Italian suffix -bile. In the next chapters the thesis focuses on corpus material characteristics - on frequency list - from qualitative and quantitative aspects and on Czech equivalents' typology. The last part concentrates on statistical evaluation of Czech translation solutions, on the individual percentage representation of Czech equivalents' variants and on general trends while translating these adjectives with the suffix -bile into Czech.

The passive in Italian and its Czech translations in a parallel corpus
Somrová, Karolína ; Štichauer, Pavel (advisor) ; Špaček, Jiří (referee)
(in English): The aim of this thesis is to theoretically describe the Italian and Czech passive voice constructions and consequently analyse the translations of the Italian passive voice into the Czech language. In the theoretical part the different passive voice constructions will be listed. The focus will be laid upon their use, occurrence and the alternative ways of the passive voice interpretation will be mentioned. The goal of the empirical part will be to analyse the Italian literary works and to find out the frequency of the passive voice used together with the auxiliary venire. Afterwards, it will be compared with the passive voice constructions containing the auxiliary essere. Then the translations of the passive voice into the Czech language will be analysed. The results will be displayed in graphs and tables showing the various ways how the passive voice was translated into the Czech language. The empirical part contains also the comments on the various translation methods.

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.

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.

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.

Parallel Text Alignment
Kadlček, Filip ; Grézl, František (referee) ; Smrž, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis is concerned to align parallel corpus. In the first part of thesis are describe acceses to align and some tool to align. As first describe a statistical align, but the main part is specialize to align with use dictionary, which is the main part of this thesis. In the midle part is introduce the princip of dictionary align and a simple example of align. At the end of work are sumarize obtained results and are noted proposals for future develop.

Czech-Slovak Statistical Machine Translation
Astaloš, Lukáš ; Kouřil, Jan (referee) ; Smrž, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to design, implement and evaluate the translation system capable of translating texts from Czech to Slovak language. It describes theoretical foundations of statistical machine translation and then the phase of design and development of system. The chosen strategy was to build phrase-based translation model using one large parallel corpus in combination with language model from local institute of linguistics. The statistical machine translation Moses was used to achieve this goal. The vocabulary translation of unknown words using stemming was proposed and tested. Precision of build system was evaluated with BLEU score and it achieved comparable results with other systems.
