This diploma thesis researchs the collocability of the german adjectives and gives some suggestions for the presentation of the collocability in the microstructure of the adjectival entries in the German-Czech translatory dictionary. The diploma thesis is a secondary product of the project of The Large German-Czech Academic Dictionary which has been realized in the Institute for German studies of the Phaculty of Arts of Charles University in Prague since 2000. The lexicographs use the methods of the corpus linguistics, especially a combination of the concepts corpus-based and corpus-driven. Analogous methods were used in this diploma thesis. By means of the Cooccurrence Data Bank (CCDB) of the Institute for the German language in Mannheim the most frequent cooccurrence partners of an adjectiv were found, concrete dictionary examples were found out in the corpus DeReKo of the IDS Mannheim using COSMAS II or on the Internet using the search engine Google. The dates were saved in a special numerical chart of a data bank which is structured on the basis of word classes. The diploma thesis comes to the conclusion that each adjectival entry can be carried out in more ways depending on the preferred criterion which can be frequency based, syntactical, semantical or didactical.

Translation dictionaries with Vietnamese;
Vuongová, Thao Linh ; Vachková, Marie (advisor) ; Šemelík, Martin (referee)
The thesis entitled "Übersetzungswörterbücher mit dem Vietnamesischen" aims to examine the quality of Vietnamese-German dictionaries (print and online) using examples of selected verbs and verb idioms. The first step is to compile a bibliography of dictionaries that are available on the Internet and in the printed form, to briefly characterize them (author, year of publication, introduction, designation of address, scope, presence of a grammatical overview and other appendices, such as a list of literature used to make the dictionary). The focus of the thesis is a critical analysis to examine how dictionaries consider the needs of native Vietnamese speakers who learn German as a foreign language and need to translate into it (dictionaries focused on production, so-called active - Vietnamese-German) and those of them, who translate from German into Vietnamese (so-called German-Vietnamese passive dictionaries)

Near Synonyms from a Corpus Linguistic Perspective - Verbs in Focus
Salačová, Helena ; Šemelík, Martin (advisor) ; Vachková, Marie (referee)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with the near synonymy of German verbs whose usage is oft very problematic for non-native speakers. Word meaning and identical or different context of synonyms (anfangen - beginnen - starten; herstellen - erzeugen - produzieren) are researched using the German reference corpus DeReKo, more specifically the coocurrence databank CCDB. The first part of the thesis is a brief introduction to the vast field of synonymy; the other, empirical part is dedicated to analysis of CNS-maps contrasting co- ocurrence profiles selected verbs. Using these maps we are enabled to determine the different similarities in the usage of these verbs.
