Existential quantifier "some" in determinative and pronominal functions, and its translation equivalents in Czech
 Řenčová, Andrea ; Šaldová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Quinn Novotná, Veronika (referee)
This thesis deals with existential quantifier some and its compound forms someone, somebody and something. The English pronoun some has two basic functions: pronominal and determinative. In Czech the grammatical category of definiteness is missing. The lack of the category of definiteness is reflected in the use of the translation equivalents that are manifold. In many cases there are no explicit correlates. The pronunciation of some in determinative or pronominal function is also the subject of this paper as well as the occurence of some in assertive or non-assertive contexts. The use of someone and somebody differs stylistically. The English pronominal compounds are also compared with the Czech translation correlates. By means of ParaConc, a parallel concordance software, the total number of 105 examples of some, 30 examples of something, 30 examples of someone and 9 instances of somebody was gathered. The collected material is based on both American and British English, the main sources being A Widow for One Year by John Irving and The Holy Thief by Ellis Peters.
