Kubáčková, Jana ; Jettmarová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Čermák, František (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to discuss the notions of generalization and specification as universal trends in translation and potential candidates for the status of universals of translation. Methods used in empirical research are also discussed in some detail. Chapters 1 and 2 focus on generalization and specification in the context of Descriptive Translation Studies, Corpus-Based Translation Studies and the work of the translation scholar Jiří Levý. Chapter 2 further attempts to present a comprehensive picture of both potential universals by examining the notion of lexical meaning and the issue of synonymy in the context of lexicology and stylistics. Finally, it draws attention to typological (systemic) differences between Czech and English and the impact these differences have on shifts of lexical meaning in terms of generalization/specification and on the use of electronic corpora. Chapter 3 outlines the three following stages of empirical research in terms of materials and methods. It presents a description of the three sets of corpora (a large monolingual comparable corpus, a parallel unidirectional English-Czech corpus, and a parallel corpus of one original and two translations), the choice of texts, reference corpora and corpus-processing software tools. Texts analysed in the three types of corpora...

Zápotocká, Pavlína ; Nebeská, Iva (referee) ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor)
The paper analyses a part of the linguistic picture of the world in Czech by means of methods of cognitive and cultural linguistics. It deals with an analysis of the linguistic picture of wind in contemporary Czech. Individual chapters illustrate how native-born Czech speakers perceive phenomena around themselves, how they think and speak about wind (and air as a related phenomenon). The analysis is divided into two parts. The first part analyses the linguistic picture of wind from the point of view of the system. It examines its lexical definitions, derivatives and its paradigmatic and syntagmatic relationships. The first part deals likewise with etymology of selected words and discusses the designation of wind in Czech dialects and idioms and in old Czech, thereby contributes to a great degree in illuminating the current vocabularies pertaining to wind and related phenomena. The excerptions of historical semantics based on contemporary literary and lexicographic products can also demonstrate the changes and shifts of meaning.

Concert and recording dramaturgy of the Czech philharmonie orchestra in the years 1948-1968 in context of the contemporary music scene
Němečková, Milena ; Douša, Eduard (referee) ; Slavický, Milan (advisor)
Historická kapitola orchestru Ceské filharmonie, kterou se zabývá tato práce, zacíná už v roce 1945. V ríjnu tohoto roku podepsal Edvard Beneš Dekret prezidenta republiky c. 129 o zestátnení Ceské filharmonie. Od této chvíle hradí náklady na provoz orchestru stát a Ceské filharmonii se tak dostává stálé jistoty financního zabezpecení. K dalšímu významnému zlomu došlo v roce 1948, nekolik mesícu po únorovém komunistickém puci - tehdejší šéfdirigent Rafael Kubelík odchází do emigrace. V sezóne 1948 - 1949 se vedení ujal Václav Neumann, 20. ríjna 1950 byl na místo šéfdirigenta jmenován Karel Ancerl, který na tomto míste setrval až do roku 1968, kdy také on zvolil odchod do zahranicí. Jak je na první pohled zrejmé, historie orchestru svými mezníky do znacné míry odráží spolecensko-politický vývoj v tehdejším Ceskoslovensku a jeho zásadní prelomy. Proto má svou logiku vymezit období, které nás bude zajímat, roky 1948 - 1968. S výjimkou prvních dvou let vyplnuje tuto etapu vedení Karla Ancerla. Literatura se shoduje, že Ancerlovým hlavním prínosem bylo proniknutí orchestru na mezinárodní pódia a repertoárové oživení - predevším z okruhu skladatelu 1. poloviny 20. století, z okruhu skladatelu moderny. Dodejme, že tehdy se ve vetšine jednalo o skladatele žijící. Celá Ancerlova éra se odehrávala v dobách nejtužšího...
