Phylogenetic assesment of cultural characters
 Gillová, Lucie ; Frynta, Daniel (advisor) ; Rexová, Kateřina (referee)
Phylogenetic methods have been used for analysing cultural characters extensively in the last ten years. This bachelor thesis starts with a brief overview and characteristics of the methods used for these analyses and then it deals with all three main fields where these methods have been applied. The first one of them is the analysis of manuscripts and their relations which is unique in that even non-cladistic methods bring usually good results. The second field discussed in this thesis is the anthropological characters, including both artefacts of material culture and various features of social orders. The last one deals with the analysis of languages and language families. In all the chapters, different approaches to different data are listed and the most important studies are described in detail. The thesis also attempts to find negative and positive sides of different approaches.

Aplication of Cladistic Methodology to the study of culturally transmitted characters
 Rexová, Kateřina ; Frynta, Daniel (advisor) ; Hypša, Václav (referee) ; Blažek, Václav (referee)
Summarv The PhD thesisis basedon thefollowing papers: Cr.a,orsrrc ANALysrs oF LANGUAcBS:INoo-Eunopo,c,N CLASSIFICATION BASED ON LEXICOSTATTSTICAL DATA RexováK' FryntaD,Zrzaý J (2003) Cladistics19:120-127 Phylogeny of the Indo-European (IE) language family is reconstructed by application of the cladistic methodology to the lexicostatistical datasetcollected by Dyen (about200 meanings,84 speech varieties, the Hittite language used as a functional outgroup). Three different methods of character coding provide treesthat show: (a) presenceof four groups,viz., Balto-Slavonic clade, Romano-Germano-Celtic clade, Armenian-Greek group,and Indo-Iraniangroup (the two last groups possibly paraphyletic), (b) unstable position of the Albanian language,(c) unstablepatternof the basalmost IE differentiation, but (d) probable existence of the Balto-Slavonic-Indo-Iranian(''satem'') and the Romano-GeÍnano- Celtic ( + Albanian?) superclades.The results are compared with the phenetic approach to lexicostatistical data, whose results are significantly less informative concerning the basal pattern.The results suggest a predominantly branching pattern of the basic vocabulary phylogeny and little borrowing of individual words. Different scenarios of IE differentiation based on archaeolosical and geneticinformation are discussed.
