The aim of this thesis is to analyze the methods used by translators when translating spoken language in contemporary Danish fiction into Czech. In the first chapter, the Czech translation tradition is defined. This tradition influences Czech usage and tendencies. The second chapter introduces the features of stylized language reflected in literature written in Czech.

Literary myth in Torny Lindgren's novels
Thomsen, Jana ; Březinová, Helena (advisor) ; Hartlová, Dagmar (referee)
The purpose of this paper is to analyse four novels by the contemporary Swedish writer Torgny Lindgren in terms of the concept of "literary myth". Novel Ljuset (1987, Light, English 1992) is studied most thoroughly as it shows to be the clearest example of the given concept. Further, analyses of Lindgren's three later novels follow: Hummelhonung (1995, Sweetness, English 2000), Pölsan (2002, Hash, English 2005) and Dorés bibel (2005, Dore's Bible). These three novels were afterwards published together in one volume titled Nåden har ingen lag (2008, Grace Knows No Law). In each of these novels and in the collection as a whole only one aspect of literary myth is studied in detail: the question of determinism and free will, the semantic opposites, the orality and the compact mythic structure. The paper consists of two parts. In the first, theoretical part, the concept of myth, its types, attributes and functions in the archaic society are set out, as well as the relation of myth and literature. Also, the concepts of "literary myth" and "mythological novel" are clarified here. In the second, analytical part of the paper, the above mentioned Lindgren's novels are analysed in terms of literary myth.

Symbol,Experiment and the Fantastic in the Dramas of Astrid Saalbach
Halounová, Lada ; Norup, Lis (advisor) ; Březinová, Helena (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to analyse the experimental construction of dramas by contemporary Danish playwright Astrid Saalbach as well as the fantastic and symbols in her plays. The theoretical-methodological introduction defines the literary term of symbol, allegory and sign with a brief introduction of the psychoanalytic reading of symbols. The second part of the theoretical opening introduces the term of the fantastic and also Tvzvetan Todorov's structural approach to this literary genre. The distinctions between different readings such as the poetry and the allegory, which both abolish the fantastic, are also pointed out in the introduction. The following definitions of literary genres of the uncanny and the marvellous focus on the narrow boundaries between these two genres and the fantastic, which is placed in between the marvellous and the uncanny. Furthermore, the introduction part also focuses on the genres of fantasy and science fiction, as they often mix or coincide with the fantastic in the literature of the 20th century. A shorter chapter also describes the term of Sigmund Freud's the uncanny (das Unheimliche), because it might be closer to the pure fantastic than to Thodorov's concept of the uncanny. The analysis of dramas focuses primarily on the construction, the fantastic and the...

Repetition as a means of expression in Jon Fosse's plays
Maxová, Pavla ; Humpál, Martin (advisor) ; Březinová, Helena (referee)
This thesis focuses on the phenomenon of repetition in the plays of the Norwegian author Jon Fosse. The concept of repetition is approached in a broader context. The analysis reveals that repetition in these texts is not merely a decorative aesthetic figure, but a deep structure which manifests itself in all components of the work. It can be observed on several levels, ranging from graphemic and phonemic to the compositional level, even transcending the boundaries of the individual works. As an example, the play Ein sommars dag was chosen and examined in the context of Fosse's complete dramatic output.
