Morphological and syntactic characteristics of expression sto (hundred), tisíc (thousand), milion (milion) and miliarda (bilion)
Nováková, Anna Josefína ; Adam, Robert (advisor) ; Šimík, Radek (referee)
The presented thesis aims to provide an analysis of morphological and syntactical characteristics of expressions sto "a hundred", tisíc "a thousand", milion "a million" and miliarda "a billion". The first part deals with the description and characteristics of numerals in specialized literature, with focus on the explored expressions, and it then proceeds to define the research questions (e. g. to what extent are the forms frozen; forms of the noun denoting the counted object (JPP) etc.), which are then explored in the practical part, using corpus analysis. The data used in the analysis are taken from the SYN v8, ORAL v1 and ORTOFON v2 corpus. The analysed sample contains 1 000 of the sto lemmas and the same number of the tisíc lemmas. For the expressions milion and miliarda, the analysed sample was half as large. The analysis showed that the range of numeral and substantive characteristics of the expressions varies: the expression sto "a hundred", has the most prominent numeral characteristics: a high degree of constancy of form (e.g., do sta korun "within one hundred crowns", do sto čtyřiceti mil "within one hundred and forty miles", na dvě stě kilometrech "at two hundred kilometres"), a predominant adjectival congruence of numeral (e.g., bylo tam osm set lidí "there were eight hundred people")...

Morphological and syntactic charakteristics of the expressions half and quarter

1 Abstract This bachelor's thesis aims to provide a morphological and syntactical analysis of Czech expressions půl "a half"and čtvrt "a quarter". The first part deals with the description and characteristics of numerals in specialized literature, with focus on the explored expressions, and it then proceeds to define the research questions (e. g. to what extent are the forms frozen; forms of the noun denoting the counted object (JPP) etc.), which are then explored in the practical part, using corpus analysis. The data used in the analysis are taken from the SYN2015 corpus. The analysed sample contains 1 000 of the čtvrt lemmas and the same number of the půl lemmas. The analysis shows that the expressions resemble one another in several aspects: e. g. the low number of non-frozen forms (e. g. do půli stehna "halfway up/down the thigh"); JPP have mostly genitive form in direct cases (e. g. půl dne "a half of a day", čtvrt měsíce "a quarter of a month"); and in indirect cases, the form of JPP is mostly dependent on higher sentence structure (e. g. s půl dnem "with a half of a day", o čtvrt roce "about a quarter of a year"), and they have the same predicate agreement like the numerals of the pět "five" type (e. g. půl roku uplynulo "half a year passed", čtvrt koláče zbylo "a quarter of the pie is left").
