Contrastive analysis of passive voice in Norwegian and Czech
Grossová, Aneta ; Štajnerová, Petra (advisor) ; Dubec, Pavel (referee)
This thesis describes the various uses of the passive voice in Norwegian and Czech. The theoretical part defines the category of voice and describes different ways of expressing the passive voice in both languages. The practical part comprises two largely independent chapters. The first one uses text corpora to explore the ratio between the active and passive voice as well as the frequency of different passive constructions in technical, journalistic and literary styles. The second chapter focuses mainly on methods of translating the passive voice used in Norwegian literature to Czech; however, it also touches the topic of the overall frequency of the passive voice in translation.
"The Arts" - translation and commentary (20th chapter of Steven Pinker's The Blank Slate, Penguin Books 2003)
Grossová, Aneta ; Kalivodová, Eva (advisor) ; Tobrmanová, Šárka (referee)
This bachelor thesis comprises a translation of the 20th chapter of Steven Pinker's The Blank Slate and of a commentary on the translation. The commentary consists of translation analysis of the source text, which describes all relevant intratextual and extratextual factors and is loosely based on the model of Christiane Nord. Other chapters outline the chosen translation method, various translation problems that occured in the translation process and ways of solving them. The commentary also describes translation shifts that can be found in the target text.
