Mazaná, Vladislava ; Horák, Tomáš (advisor) ; Glomb, Vladimír (referee)
1 TITLE: Sino-Korean Lexicon in Modern Korean AUTHOR: Vladislava Mazana DEPARTMENT: Institute of East Asian Studies SUPERVISOR: Mgr. Tomáš Horák, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: This diploma paper is focused on morphological aspects of the Sino-Korean lexicon in modern Korean, the main topics are Sino-Korean word-formation and Sino-Korean classification of parts of speech.

Considering the multifunctional character of Sino-Korean morphemes it is extremely difficult to classify the words into parts of...
