Czech for foreigners online
Záleská, Michaela ; Šebesta, Karel (advisor) ; Hrdlička, Milan (referee)
The present thesis focuses on current options of on-line study of Czech available to foreigners. The initial chapters are devoted to selected theoretical problems of teaching Czech as a foreign language and to a definition and description of e-learning. In these I concentrate mainly on teaching methods and their development, on Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, on basic language skills and the options of exercising them, on institutions supporting teaching Czech to foreigners, and on various forms of e-learning. In the practical section of the thesis I analyze available on-line materials on teaching Czech as a foreign language and propose a concept of an educational Internet server czech-online.cz.

Problems of Czech morphology in selected handbooks
Prohorenco, Dmitrii ; Hrdlička, Milan (advisor) ; Holub, Jan (referee)
Czech language is inflective, that is one ending/suffix cumulates many categories. Many words (especially nouns, verbs and adjectives) have many forms. There are seven cases, fourteen basic types for nouns, five verb conjugation classes, ten parts of speech in czech. Verbs have categories of voice, aspect, person and tense. Nouns have gramatic categories of number, case and gender. There is a variety of irregularities, dual forms etc. in czech. Czech orthography is complicated when compared to croatian or finish, but is relatively simple when compared to french or english. One can say that czech orthography is phonological, but it takes into consideration also morphology and etymology. Czech is spoken primarily in Czech republic. There are some czech minorities in Australia, Argentina, Romania and USA. Czech is quite popular for foreigners to study, also it is spoken only by aproximately 12 mln. of people. The czech word order is different from the word order of english or french, that is relatively restrictive. The czech word order is on the other hand relatively free. Often all the permutations of words in a clause are possible. The concept of czech word order introduced Vilem Mathesius - the co-founder of Prague Linguistic Circle. Usually there exists the basic word order. Observing discourse patterns,...

Imperfect in Bulgarian language and its equivalence in Czech language
Krasteva, Vesela ; Hrdlička, Milan (referee) ; Gladkova, Hana (advisor)
The subject of my work is imperfektum in Bulgarian language and its equivalence in Czech. The work is divided into three main parts. The first one describes a general characteristics of Bulgarian imperfektum. It is a tense with double temporal orientation representing an action realized in a specific moment in the past. The goal of the second part is to determine a way of finding a Czech equivalent of Bulgarian imperfektum. The theory behind this relies on analysis of relations between different pieces of translated text where the meaning or substance of the text after translation stays unchanged. The third part outlines examples of the imperfektum and its translated equivalents. The main goal of this work is to introduce the topic to the reader, and not to write it out.

The reflexiv personal and possessive pronouns in Czech and in Romanian
Florea, Ileana ; Holub, Jan (referee) ; Hrdlička, Milan (advisor)
In the diploma work, we have treated of the problems concerning retlexive and possessive pronouns "se" (oneself) and "svůj" (my, yOUf, and so on) above aH. In the introduction, we have orientated our attention first to deictic words, and successively we got the general description of pronouns in Czech language, where we came principally to possessive and retlexive pronouns. We have concluded that these pronouns are very difficult for foreign student s learning Czech language. We stopped at personal retlexive pronoun "se" (oneself) and "si" (to oneself), pronoun expressing that a person or a thing, this is indicating, is identical with the originator of an action. This originator of an action is usually expressed by the subject and the action by a definite verb but it is possible that it can be expressed by another way as object or infinitive for instance. (see l.2.) From the point of view of the delimitation of lexical language it is necessary to give attention to the ambiguity of the retlexive pronoun ,,se" (oneself). If this is fulfilling the function of an article of object in a sentence construction (myl se - he washed himselj), it is real retlexive pronoun, and consequently an independent lexical unit. If it is part of a retlexive verb (přiznat se - to confess himselj), ifthe case may be of a retlexive...

Selected problems of literary translation from Turkish to Czech
Barta, Elif ; Bischofová, Jana (referee) ; Hrdlička, Milan (advisor)
Cílem této diplomová práce bylo odhalit jevy, které při překládání současné umělecké literatury vyplývají z odlišnosti dvou jazykových systémů i reálií. Na základě analýzy tureckého literárního textu a jeho českého překladu byly pozorovány jazykové jevy a jejich korespondence mezi oběma jazyky, které byly posléze ohodnoceny z hlediska funkčního přístupu v překladu. Předmětem analýzy se stal překlad povídky "Frau Eva ya da karş komşu - Frau Eva aneb sousedka od vedle" předčasně zesnulé turecké novinářky a spisovatelky Duygu Aseny (1946-2006), která je považována za nejvýraznější představitelku ženské prózy v Turecku. Pro pochopení postojů tohoto žánru jsme se snažili v první kapitole stručně přiblížit historii a vývoj ženského hnutí a popsali situaci žen v dnešním Turecku a v Čechách. Rovněž jsme se domnívali, že tyto informace alespoň částečně mohou přispět k porozumění kulturních a historických odlišností v oblasti reálií a k zjištění, do jaké míry jsou reflektovány tyto problémy v turecké a české společnosti.
