The Ukrainian family names
Jarošová, Kateřina ; Lendělová, Věra (advisor) ; Savický, Nikolaj (referee)
In my thesis I follow the issue of Ukrainian family names. The study of anthroponymics in itself is still of live reflection due to the fact that both first and family names make it possible to get important data not only from philological point of view (for language structure research) but also from historical and ethnographical ones. Key guiding sources for this essay were: Publication "Sučasni ukrajinski prizvyšča" by J.K.Reďko and dictionary "Prizvyšča zakarpatskych ukrajinciv: Istoryko-etymologičnyj slovnyk" by P.Čučka. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the origin and history of the Ukrainian family names development and to examine family names word-making together with their grammatical and pragmatical special features. My analysis of individual word-making styles has proved that suffixation is the most common way of word-making in the Ukraine. Furthermore, this study deals with the variety and semantics of the Ukrainian family names. Special attention is being paid to family names of the Carpathian area, which are in typological terms (word roots of non-Slavonic origin) substantially different from family names coming from central and eastern areas. I have carried out detailed analysis of the most productive patronymic suffix in Carpathian Ukraine: "- / - / -" ("-ák" in Czech). I have...

Innovation processes in the Czech and Bulgarian language situation (based on media language material)
Niševa, Božana ; Martincová, Olga (advisor) ; Savický, Nikolaj (referee) ; Gladkova, Hana (referee)
The problems of the innovation processes in the present-day language systems have been essential to the current linguistic research. In general, this thesis is focused on a synchronic contrastive description of the types of innovation processes producing and inf1uencing the lexical dynamics of the Czech and Bulgarian languages. Doing so, it stems from the generally accepted view that, depending on the criterion applied, the individual innovation processes may be made correlative with various dynamic tendencies of a more complex and universal nature, L e. with signs of intellectualization and democratization, intemationalization and nationalization, terminologization and de-terminologization ofthe Czech and Bulgarian literary languages. Chapter I presents the methodological and theoretical starting points of the research. By means of a model designed by B. Havránek and developed by A. Jedlička, the following parallels between the Czech and Bulgarian language situations are being set in it: a) political and social changes in both societies and new orientation of interests of the members of the "language (communication) community"; b) widening the spheres of use of colloquial and non-literary linguistic devices; c) increase in the number of users of foreign languages, especially English; d) spread of new...

Neology a singular point of linguistics
Savický, Nikolaj
Neology can be considered a place, where oppositions between synchrony and diachrony, langue and parole, immanent description and sociolinguistics are abrogated (aufgehoben). This domain offers rich concrete material for application of such notions as open system, system-striving process and others, notions that play important part in neo- and poststructuralist theories, and also aren't fremd to the traditions of the Prague linguistic school.

Towards the typology of diachronic processes
Savický, Nikolaj
Oldřich Leška introduced for the description of Russian syntax the notion of syntactic polymorphism (i.e. great variety of sentence types), which he related to the weakening of inflexionality. This connection is dubious, because such non-inflexional languages as French or English are syntactically highly monomorphic while the syntax of highly inflexional old Indo-European languages is polymorphic in a way similar to the Russian. The weakening of inflexionality as well as monomorphization of syntax are analogical processes supported by language mixing.
