Title: Italian similes in the construction ADJ come ... and their Czech counterparts in the parallel corpus InterCorp. Objectives: Outline the possibility of translating specific types of Italian similes into Czech, evaluate translation options in terms of equivalence and construction, with an emphasis on potential changes in construction copared to the given "ADJ-come-N" structure, and determine the occurrence rates of Italian similes in the SYN corpus. Methods: Conduct a theoretical analysis of the "ADJ-come-N" simile structure and define the concepts of phraseology and idiomatice. Utilize the itWaC corpus to obtain samples of comparisons and subsequently select examples for detailed examination. Lastly, propose and select translations in the Dicitonary of Phraseology and Idiomatics (Volume Similes), simultaneously using the InterCorp (version 16). For defining Italian similes, employ Italian dictionaries such as Dizionario dei modi di dire della lingua italiana and Grande dizionario italiano. Results: Theoretical delineation of similes and their structure, including the definition of phraseology and idiomatice. Identification of simile samples for practical analysis and proposal of translations based on the analysis results using relevant sources. Conclusion: Evaluate the possibility of...

Italian idioms containing the names of colors and their Czech equivalents
Žáková, Klára ; Obstová, Zora (advisor) ; Štichauer, Pavel (referee)
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to find and characterize Italian idioms containing names of colours and to determine the typology of their Czech counterparts. This work is intended to create a comprehensive, quantified view of idiom translations and phraseology in general. In the first chapter of the theoretical part, there are defined the concepts of phraseology and idiomatics, the difference between frazem and idiom with their functions, even from the point of view of Italian phraseology. The second chapter describes the issue of frazem translation and equivalency. Other chapters are devoted to colours, their physical characteristics, how they are divided and to their symbolism. In the practical section, the dictionaries and corpus used are briefly presented. The second chapter of the application section contains searched and classified colour idioms in dictionaries and their meanings. This is followed by an analysis of Czech respondents in the online Italian- Czech dictionary Lingea. The final chapter of the practical section contains the frequency of colour idioms in the InterCorp internet corpus. At the end, the agreements and differences between Italian and Czech idioms are summed up.

The evolution of reflexive verbs in Italian
Karabcová, Natálie ; Štichauer, Pavel (advisor) ; Obstová, Zora (referee)
(in English) This paper investigates the evolution of auxiliary verb selection in Italian reflexive verbs in the compound tenses based on data obtained from the CODIT diachronic corpus of Italian. In contrast to modern Italian, where only the auxiliary verb essere is obligatory with all types of reflexive verbs, in previous developmental phases, especially with indirect reflexive verbs, the auxiliary verb avere was possible. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the different types of reflexives, while the practical part deals with research on the choice of auxiliary verbs from the earliest times to the present.

Pranevská, Karolína ; Obstová, Zora (advisor) ; Štichauer, Pavel (referee)
The thesis focuses on the verb system of Italian language, specifically addressing areas that Czech students tend to find problematic. The theoretical section aims to provide a solid theoretical foundation in relation to L2 acquisition, error typologies, and an overview of the Italian verb system. This will enable a comprehensive analysis of student tests in the practical section. In the practical section, based on the disparities between the Italian and Czech verb systems and the peculiarities of the Italian system, hypotheses are formulated regarding the challenging nature of certain Italian verb phenomena for Czech students. Research questions are also posed to determine the areas of the language and types of test exercises where students make the most errors. The analysis results should also highlight error rates throughout students' the course and identify potential causes of these errors. Keywords: language learning/acquisition, system of verbs, verb tense, grammatical mood, L2 Italian, transfer, error.
