Jaromír Nohavica as a Translator
Borková, Anna ; Rubáš, Stanislav (advisor) ; Klimeš, Lukáš (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on the translation of Jaromir Nohavica's work. The aim of the thesis is to define Nohavica's translation style on the basis of detailed translatological analysis of his translations of Bulat Okudzhava and Vladimir Vysotsky. At the same time, the translations of Milan Dvorak and Petr Kovarik are analysed. The analysis is extended by a brief analysis of a song score which works as a verification of a hypothesis whether the chosen translations are songful not only in Jaromir Nohavica's presentation. The theoretical part of the thesis is dedicated to Jaromir Nohavica's personality, particularities of lyrics translation, author song and their authors. Thanks to a complex approach, the diploma thesis describes a translation style of a significant representative of Czech culture which has not been so far individually introduced. Key words Jaromir Nohavica, translation style, translatological analysis, authorial song, Bulat Okud- zhava, Vladimir Vysotsky, lyrics translation, score

Eugene Onegin in Czech translations
Rubáš, Stanislav ; Hrala, Milan (advisor) ; Král, Oldřich (referee) ; Honzík, Jiří (referee)
The paper covers five complete Czech translations of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin by Václav Čeněk Bendl, Václav Alois Jung, Josef Hora, Olga Mašková and Milan Dvořák. Translation quality assessment is based on the question of how each rendering reflects semantic complexities of the original. Analysis of each translation involves the significant phonetic, imaginative, ideational and structural features of Pushkin's novel in verse. Often a particular rendering is contrasted with another one to demonstrate its style more clearly, including some of the incomplete renderings of Onegin, especially that by Jan Evangelista Purkyně. All the translations analysed are put into their historical context. It follows that most of them were created at some crucial point in the Czech history (1860, 1937 and 1966) and in some way reflect "the spirit of their time". Bendl changed the structure of the original by a shift in metre. He replaced iambic tetrameter by iambic pentameter. As a result, he was given more room to develop the thoughts and imagery of Pushkin's novel in verse. However, he often turned his translation into renarration and contaminated his rendering with a great deal of semantic shifts. ...

Explicitation and translator's style
Kamenická, Renata ; Králová, Jana (advisor) ; Mánek, Bohuslav (referee) ; Rubáš, Stanislav (referee)
The aim of the thesis was to explore the role of explicitation as a potential parameter of individual literary translator's style, on the material of a parallel corpus of texts compiled for this purpose and covering the work of two translators along the temporal axis. The empirical study the results of which are presented in the thesis was based on the assumption that literary translators, too, are characterized by individual styles, i.e. regularities of their translation decisions typical of their work and distinguishing them from other translators (see e.g. Baker 2000). Another assumption was that explicitation, as a phenomenon studied so far especially as a potential translation universal, has also individual aspects, i.e. that by comparing the explicitation behaviours of several translators components of that behaviour contributing towards individual translator's style can be identified. Either of the two translators being compared, Radoslav Nenadál and Antonín Přidal, was represented in the corpus by 5,000-word samples of parallel text, taken from 9 translations of long literary fiction, published in the course of their translator's careers. For the purpose of this analysis a new typology of translation-inherent explicitation (and implicitation) was developed, based on the concept of metafunctions of...

Gumanská, Evženie ; Oganesjanová, Danuše (advisor) ; Rubáš, Stanislav (referee)

It substantiates the historical foundations of socio-political terminology in a certain period. Above all, the analysis focuses on the terms перестройка - perestroika, ускорение - uskoreniye, гласность - glasnost (openness of information) etc. It compares and contrasts the terms used in the original of Perestroika: New Thinking for Our Country and the World by M. S. Gorbachev with their translation equivalents and with the use of this terminology in the respective target language. The above terms are categorized within the system of socio-political terminology and defined on the basis of established classifications.
