PhDr. Petr Vavroušek, CSc. 2011 ABSTRAKT V ČESKÉM JAZYCE Univerzita Karlova v Praze Filozofická fakulta Ústav srovnávací jazykovědy Jazyky zemí Asie a Afriky Šárka Velhartická Kultovní terminologie starochetitských textů Cult Terminology in Old Hittite Texts Disertační práce vedoucí práce - Doc. PhDr. Petr Vavroušek, CSc. 2011 Cílem disertační práce "Kultovní terminologie starochetitských textů" je vytvoření uceleného přehledu všech dnes nám známých chetitských textů datovaných do starochetitského období s důrazem na texty rituálního charakteru. Základním východiskem jsou detailní kriteria datace klínopisných textů (paleografický rozbor, grafická a lingvistická analýza pramenů) a jejich přesná definice, které tvoří úvod k následné prezentaci jednotlivých textů. Hlavní část práce je rozdělena do dvou oddílů. První z nich je výčet starochetitských textů a jejich překlad do českého jazyka. V případech, kdy se jedná o dosud nezpracované rituální texty, nebo texty, jejichž transkripci je nutno doplnit a pozměnit na základě nově získaných fragmentů, přináší autorka i jejich...

King lists of the ancient Syropalestine
Čech, Pavel ; Zemánek, Petr (advisor) ; Oliverius, Jaroslav (referee) ; Prosecký, Jiří (referee)
King lists of ancient Mesopotamia are a well-defined and described part of the "scientific" literature of the era, known as the Listenwissenschanft. This work aims to put on the same level the king lists of the neighbouring area of Syro-Palestine - the lists discovered in Ebla, Mari, and Ugarit and published over the last twenty-five years. Its value as a historiographic source is questioned and the lists are understood primarily as an expression of the royal ideology. The study is based on the analyses of individual anthroponyms, examining the lists especially on the basis of intuitively selected criteria and studying their function and relation to the narrative fabric. The main difference is between the lists from Mari, which constitute a part of the Babylonian administrative tradition, and the lists from the west of the region. These are a synthesis of the legendary past, the cult of the dead and the political situation of the time, which is most apparent in the parts dedicated to the oldest rulers. The lists are therefore related to each other in space rather than in time.

Arabic as a Minority Language in Israel
Sedláková, Martina ; Zemánek, Petr (advisor) ; Oliverius, Jaroslav (referee)
Arabic as a minority language in Israel The objective of this diploma thesis is the analysis of the status of arabic as a minority language within the specific circumstances of the arabic-hebrew contact in Israel. In this context the language carries symbolic values that participate in forming identity of the native Arabic speakers. Their language is constantely exposed to the influence of hebrew and this study investigates this influence practically. The theoretical part provides the sociolinguistic foundation of the research and characterise the locus of the study. The core of the practical part is the analysis of tha data obtained during the field research in the Israeli city of Tira.

Quantitative view on the arabic text structure
Milička, Jiří ; Zemánek, Petr (advisor) ; Petkevič, Vladimír (referee)
The thesis suggests several general quantitative linguistic falsifiable hypotheses and tests them on corpora of standard modern Arabic, medieval Arabic and some European languages, including Czech and English. The hypotheses deal with structures built by word lengths and word frequencies within sentences and supra-sentential elements, with connection between sentence length - its constiuents frequency relation and Menzerath-Altmann Law, and with a view on text via so-called combinatorial mapping.

The ways of enriching the Arabic lexicon with a special respect to journalistic style
Bielický, Viktor ; Zemánek, Petr (advisor) ; Oliverius, Jaroslav (referee)
The present study consists of two parts. The first, theoretical part focuses on brief and mostly lexical characteristics of the Arabic media language style (Chapter 2) and describes in outline all word-formational methods used in Modern Standard Arabic for lexical innovation, especially in the field of scientific and technical vocabulary (Chapter 3), i.e. derivation (ištiqq), lexical borrowing (tacrb), composition (nah t), semantic extension (maz), and translation (tarama). The second part (Chapter 4), based on a digitalized corpus of newspaper texts (Lebanese daily newspaper al-H ayt), deals in detail with word-formational, structural, syntactic, and semantic analysis of selected one-word, compound and multi-word lexical units (collocations) in Modern Standard Arabic. An Arabic-Czech dictionary of all lexical material treated in the text is attached to the study (Appendix).

Formal analysis of Akkadian morphology
Schürerová, Lucie ; Vavroušek, Petr (referee) ; Zemánek, Petr (advisor)
In recent years we can witness tendencies to process electronically not only living languages, but also ancient languages. This trend has also its impact on the sphere of Semitic languages as well. My thesis deals with the situation at Akkadian language. The extent of this thesis does not allow to solve the issue of automatic morphological analysis - however, it is possible to specify the morphological model of the Akkadian language with regard to use of the defined categories and their values in tagging of Akkadian. When processing Akkadian electronically we need to face several important issues. Since Akkadian is a dead language, it is not possible to gather information from native speakers, we have to depend fully on written sources. The first problem is the written text itself - it needs to be transliterated from a cuneiform script, which was not originally mentioned for a Semitic language. Further we need to solve the issue of defining the word boundaries, so that we could proceed to the morphologic analysis and tagging. Last but not least we have to deal with phonetic changes in such cases as assimilation, dissimilation, contraction etc. In the practical part of the thesis I suggested a tagset and used it for tagging of cca 60 lines of the original Akkadian text from the preface to Hammurabi's Code....

Lexical analysis of the novel "Mahrem" by Elif Şafak
Farahat, Milena ; Kučera, Petr (referee) ; Zemánek, Petr (advisor)
one hand it deals with the litera! and stylistic aspects of the novel in relation to the use of vocabulary, dosely linked to the topic of the novel, on the other hand it focuses on inner structures of the text, which is analysed and demonstrated by strict use of mathematical means. The thesis i s divided in to three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the literary work and therefore each having its own method. From the perspective of the approach to the analysed subject, the first two chapters share many common features with regards to their interest in the aesthetic function of literary techniques, be they the narrative structure or the use ofvocabulary. The third chapter deals with textual structures while applying quantitative methods in accordance with text linguistics. It can be stated that the results ofthe first analysis serve as an introductory step into the second analysis, especially because of the use of the frequency dictionary ofthe novel that was created for the first analysis. The stylistic-lexical analysis confirms that Elif Safak deploys a wide range of archaic words, which is not very common in modem Turkish, but they are well incorporated in the novel's rhetorical style. This fact contributes to the high litera! quality ofthe novel. The study concentrates on different aspects of...

Greeting formulae in peripheral Akkadian
Mynářová, Jana ; Zemánek, Petr (advisor)
V jazykovém i historickém kontextu syropalestinské oblasti v pozdní dobe bronzové predstavují akkadsky psané dopisy zcela samostatný a intenzivne pojednávaný fenomén. Nedílnou soucástí techto textu jsou pak jejich úvodní pasáže tvorené adresou a zdravicí. S výjimkou mezinárodních smluv, které jsou však doloženy až z druhé poloviny tohoto období, tvorí práve dopisy jeden z hlavních pramenu našeho poznání jazykové situace i kulturne-historického vývoje tohoto regionu v 15.-12. století pr. n. l. Zde poprvé se v historickém vývoji akkadského jazyka objevuje v relativne standardizované podobe formální clenení dopisu. Ješte ve starobabylónském období je tato stránka dopisu pomerne jednoduchá a nevariabilní - vzorový dopis je tvoren výhradne jednoduchou adresou, jejíž odraz nacházíme i v námi zkoumaném korpusu textu (viz dále), která je bezprostredne následována vlastním sdelením. Ostatní, dobre známé floskule, jakými jsou projevy bezvýhradné poslušnosti a podrízenosti ve vztahu k nadrízené osobe, prípadne projevy prání všeho dobrého, zde nejsou zastoupeny. Jiste, v souvislosti se starobabylónskými dopisy hovoríme o textech z oblasti, kterou v tomto historickém období mužeme považovat za centrální a pisateli dopisu tak byli zejména rodilí mluvcí príslušného jazyka. Nicméne i obdobná korespondence pocházející ze...
