English verbs appear, look, seem, look like, etc. and Their Particular Characteristics.
BLAŽKOVÁ, Ivana
Abstract This thesis is concerned with English verbs with different renderings of the meaning ``seeming``. In particular, it deals mainly with verbs ``appear``, ``look``, ``seem``, ``sound`` and marginally also with a verb phrase ``strike one as``. The thesis focuses on the particular characteristics of above given verbs. It deals with the lexical meanings of the verbs based on the comparison of dictionary entries and a comparison of English and Czech translated fiction. It also shows syntactic and semantic classifications of the verbs, their possible complements and the types of phrases in which they appear. The thesis has been divided into two main parts {--} a theoretical and a practical section. The theoretical section copes with the comparison of dictionary entries of researched verbs and their classifications as well as their complements and the phrases in which they are included. The practical part is based on the analysis of excerpts of my own choosing. It studies the behaviour of given verbs in the practical use of language and compares the results with the theoretical section of the thesis.
