On the issue of past tenses in Portuguese and Spanish: a constrastive study based on a selected work
Weisová, Alžběta ; Hricsina, Jan (referee) ; Jindrová, Jaroslava (advisor)
In our thesis entitled On the Issue of Past Tenses in Spanish and Portuguese: Constrastive Study Based on a Selected Work we have compared the past tense system in contemporary Spanish and Portuguese, in order to discover main differences on the temporal as well as on the extratemporal level. In general, the complexness of the repertory of past tenses in Romance languages makes the full comprehension of the problem by not native speaker extremely difficult. Moreover, the linguistic proximity of both languages can cause many interferences and the phenomenon called "false friends". In the first "theoretical" part we have observed the principal theories of the most significant linguists and tried to demonstrate their statements on an authentic linguistic material. We have discovered many secondary meanings at every paradigm, which implicates difficulties during the study or translation. As we expected the essential difference on the temporary level consists in the use of perfeito composto in Portuguese and perfecto compuesto in Spanish, which also have different aspectual characteristics. On the other hand, most secondary (mainly modal) values are in both languages represented by imperfeito / imperfecto. In case of mais-que-perfeito / pluscuamperfecto there is an asymmetrical relation between the morphological...

Character of pilot in the writings by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
ŠIMONOVÁ, Kristýna
This thesis focuses on the research of the pilot´s character in chosen writings by the French author. While we can divide his writings into both historical and cultural context there is also an analysis of the pilot´s characterization together with the main themes contained in the writings. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who was an aviator and script writer but primarily an author, has come under the scrutiny of many biographers and movie adaptations so that Saint-Exupérys' legacy remains alive. The Little Prince is probably the writers' most famous work and although his others writings are comparable with The Little Prince, these have been overshadowed by the work. A lot of attention has been paid to Saint-Exupéry´s conception of morality, fear and death which are topics united into the pilot´s character and so it is interesting to mark out the main typical features. This thesis analyses and compares individual writing and identifies the common features which creates a simplified model of the pilot. If possible, the model will be compared with the author and we will mark his function in the tale together with his influence on readers.
