Feminization of agentive nouns in present-day French
Rytinová, Aneta ; Štichauer, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Loucká, Hana (referee)
(in English) The major aim of the thesis is to investigate the different ways of making feminine equivalents to masculine names of professions, titles and ranks based on the data acquired from French and Canadian press archives. Furthermore, the study explores the history of certain frequent feminine forms to analyse the evolutionary changes and, in particular, presents the view of the French-speaking public on this matter. The data collected from the press were compared to the hypothesis and consequently the most occurring feminine forms were selected. In addition, the possible factors causing or preventing the feminization of names are examined in this study. The objective of the questionnaire is to analyse responses depending on the age, gender, and origin of the tested subjects, and to provide an overview of the current trends.

Hypostasis, Conversion, Categoriality
Židek, Jan ; Bičovský, Jan (advisor) ; Starý, Zdeněk (referee)
In modern linguistics since the 1970s, there seems to be a general shift from langue to parole and from discrete categories to more "blurry" ones. With it comes a need for revitalisation of some older terms that fell out of usage because of the fact that they describe something (seemingly) outside system. One such term is hypostasis, a synchronic phenomenon of word- formation under certain constrains (e.g. null derivation from an inflected form). This work's aim is to probe its usefulness in modern linguistics and the viability of its revitalisation. In this work, I agree with now generally accepted idea that every grammatical system is in itself inadequate with regard to completeness of its function, and that it needs from time to time adapt to new situational contexts through compensation strategies; some of the ways it does that can collectively be called "hypostasis".

Nominal derivative suffixes in Slavic and Latin
Pernicová, Jana ; Rejzek, Jiří (advisor) ; Voleková, Kateřina (referee)
The present thesis treats one of the word-formative processes, derivation, in two Indo-European languages, Latin and Slavic. It focuses on the description and comparison of nominal (substantive) derivative suffixes and whole word-formative types that in these languages correspond to each other. The main focus of the thesis is to make a classification of these parallels from a functional point of view and to describe particular word-formative types from a scope of the onomasiologic categories. Since Latin and Slavic do not display similar parallels regarding other language levels, the considerable similarity of the derivative suffixes (and whole word-formative types) is a noticable phenomenon. One of its possible explanations is the fact that both languages have retained the original Indo-European word structure. Therefore this thesis uses as a base the Latin language as the older one which is thus formally and functionally more likely closer to the original (Indo-European) forms than Slavic, and traces particular suffixes (word-formative types) throughout their developement and attempts to reveal their formal and semantic shifts.

Diminutives: types, use and changes in contemporary Czech
Choulíková, Klára ; Bozděchová, Ivana (advisor) ; Vaňková, Irena (referee)
The goal of this paper is a reflection of the use, word-formation and semantics of diminutives in the contemporary Czech language. A special focus is given on new or marginal phenomena. A description of the system of the word-forming category of diminutives serves as a background for our analysis. The research is based on the comparison of different approaches described in specialized linguistic handbooks which are supplemented with findings from particular linguistic studies.

Negative Prefixes in the present-day French
ŠTĚPÁNKOVÁ, Lucie
The aim of this work is to describe, with use of specialised literature, the characteristics of negative prefixes in present-day French. Then we will observe the correctness of observing the rules of application of these prefixes and study the frequency of their use. For this research, we will employ the methods of frequency and corpus analysis. This work is divided into two main parts and both contain several subchapters. In the theoretical part, we will explain the terms connected to language and word-formation in general, then we will focus on derivation and prefixes. On the basis of the Le Petit Robert dictionary and the other specialised literature, we will define the negative prefixes and describe their rules of usage. The following practical part will deal with corpus analysis of these prefixes.

Automatic Computation Control
Opálka, Jan ; Šátek, Václav (referee) ; Kunovský, Jiří (advisor)
This work deals with the automatic control of numerical calculations. The reader is acquainted with the numerical solution of differential equations and the parallel, serial, and series-parallel numerical integrator. The practical aim of this work is to design control circuits for the three mentioned variants of integrators. The design includes the development of a software simulator of the control circuit for the series-parallel integrator in a fixed point.

Real Time Dynamic System Control
Adamík, Pavel ; Kaluža, Vlastimil (referee) ; Kunovský, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the methodology of controlling dynamic systems in real time. It contents a review of the control theory basis and the elementary base of regulators construction. Then the list of matemathic formulaes follows as well as the math basis for the system simulations using a difeerential count and the problem of difeerential equations solving. Furthermore, there is a systematic approach to the design of general regulator enclosed, using modern simulation techniques. After the results confirmation in the Matlab system, the problematics of transport delay & quantization modelling follow.

Derivative in apllied problems - a digest of solved examples.
SEKAL, Tomáš
The theme of this diploma thesis is to create a collection of exercises on the differentiation in application tasks. It focuses primarily on tasks of everyday situations, physical problems and problems from technical disciplines. Exercises are sorted from easy to advanced ones. For each example there is a solution procedure provided and illustrated with sketches of given situations created in majority with Google SketchUp, graphs of functions created in GeoGebra, eventually 3D graphs of each function created using mathematical program Maple. In the very introduction of this theses there is theoretical base and "first aid" provided in the form of instructions on solving this kind of exercises.

On the research of word formation in Czech dialects
Hlubinková, Zuzana
The Czech dialectological word-formation studies have started to develop particularly since the 1960s following the research of M. Dokulil. A number of dialectological monographs of that period contained only brief sections devoted to word formation. Monographs exclusively dealing with dialectological word formation were usually written later; the dissertation by M. Racková (1965) and by F. Fic (1984) remained in manuscript, whereas the work by Z. Hlubínková Tvoření slov ve východomoravských nářečích was published in print in 2010. The authors of these books have arrived at the following conclusions: a number of word-formation features are shared both by the standard language and the dialects, specific are only the very few formants, and a large part of them is of expressive nature (the contribution provides its list). The specific features are typical not only to nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs, but also to pronouns and prepositions. Moreover, it is possible to account for their regional distributional (a sample map is included, too).
