The linguistic analysis of The Apostle of Skopje
Pilát, Štefan ; Ribarova, Zdena (advisor) ; Bláhová, Emílie (referee) ; Vepřek, Miroslav (referee)
The linguistic analysis of The Apostle of Skopje Štefan Pilát The Apostle of Skopje (Skop) is a Macedonian Church Slavonic manuscript, which contains a short Praxapostle. The scribal inscription on the last page places its compilation to the city of Skopje in the year 1313 thus allowing for its inclusion among the north-Macedonian texts. The goal of the present thesis was to evaluate its paleographic, orthographic and phonological characteristics and its morphological and syntactic peculiarities. The established facts were then compared with other north-Macedonian manuscripts and writing traditions of the Ochrid, Preslav, Tarnovo and Raška schools. Another aim was to evaluate how much could the reception of individual scribal norms be impacted by the north-Macedonian dialect and identify the dialect elements of Skop. On this account, I conclude that Skop, while belonging to the circle of north-Macedonian manuscripts and reflecting rather evident influence of the local dialect, remains conservative, especially from the perspective of paleography, orthography and phonology, a feature typical of the older tradition of the Ochrid School. In the Apostle pericopes, Skop however rather consequently receives the standardized use of the full scope of the iotified vowels, which is the norm most probably taken...

Capitalization in Separately Published Czech New Testaments of the 15th and 16th Century
Nývltová, Martina ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (advisor) ; Dittmann, Robert (referee)
This thesis deals with the development of the capitalization in the old Czech prints of separately published New Testaments. Seven New Testaments (one incunabulum and six prints from the 16th century) were chosen for this research. Two excerpts were analysed from each of them. We use the method of the articles by Fidlerová, Dittmann and Vladimírová (2010) and Fidlerová (2013). These articles focused on the usage of capital letters in early modern prints of Czech Bibles. We deal with the capitals from the lexical point of view (according to parts of speech). Substantives, adjectives and numerals were divided into particular categories corresponding to the mentioned studies. Afterwards, the percentage of majuscules in each of these groups was calculated. The results are continuously compared with the initial studies. The thesis includes numerous graphs and tables which clearly present the discovered facts. In addition to the previous research we deal with the clusters of a word printed together with the previous preposition.
