Distribution of Adjectives and Restrictive Adverbials in Czech and Modern Greek
Pleskotová, Veronika ; Lehečková, Eva (advisor) ; Křivan, Jan (referee)
This paper deals with the distribution of adjectives and restrictive adverbials in Czech and Modern Greek. In the theoretical part the adjective classification within Czech and Modern Greek literature is presented, followed by the presentation of the scalar approach to adjectives and its basic notions. The second part covers the classification of the restrictive adverbials within Czech and Modern Greek literature. The empirical part consists of a corpus research which constitutes the base for the description of potential changes in the interpretation of adjectives in context of the restrictive adverbials. Follows a suggestion of a possible translation of the combination of adjectives and restrictive adverbials in Modern Greek.

Bír Šawíš, Malá Oáza: Ostraka a další nápisový materiál
Dospěl, Marek ; Bárta, Miroslav (advisor) ; Ast, Rodney (referee) ; Coppens, Filip (referee)
MAREK DOSPĚL Bīr Shawīsh, Small Oasis: Ostraka and Other Inscribed Material ABSTRACT The present dissertation is primarily a publication of a group of primary sources. These sources come from the recent archaeological exploration by Charles University in Prague of the site of Bīr Shawīsh in the Baḥrīya Oasis ("Small Oasis" in Classical Antiquity) in Egypt's Western Desert and consist of inscribed material written in Hellenistic Greek or koinē. Their majority belongs in the family of documentary texts, while a smaller group consists of informal inscriptions. Both texts and inscriptions are written or incised on fired potter's clay supports and can be dated to around 400 CE. The core of this dissertation consists of an annotated edition of these texts and inscriptions (Chapter 3), immediately followed by a synthetic and interpretative Chapter 4 in which the cardinal issues inherent to the published material are treated in detail. An important part of the edition are the analytical indices and appendices. Chapter 1 serves as a general introduction to the work; Chapter 2 presents the historical and archaeological context of the edited inscribed material. The dissertation ends with Reference Bibliography and Plates of individual text-bearing artifacts. This work is the first comprehensive treatment of a group of...

Greek as a Source of Enrichment of the Czech Vocabulary
Petáková, Helena ; Rejzek, Jiří (advisor) ; Dittmann, Robert (referee)
Helena Petáková, Greek as a source of enrichment of the Czech vocabulary Abstract: The Masterʼs thesis examines the influence of the Greek language on the Czech vocabulary from different angles. In the introduction, we define basic terms, which we use in the text, especially "loanword" and with it synonymous "lexical borrowing". Next chapter is devoted to the issues of lexical borrowing in general (motivation, ways of involvement of foreign words in the system of the recipient language, and the sorting options of the loanwords). The third chapter maps borrowing of the Greek words into the Czech language in various periods of development. Furthermore, we are interested in the Czech reception of the Greek language (the admiration of Greek, comparison of Czech with Greek) in the crucial moments of modern history and its connection with national and linguistic defensive trends. After this cultural-historical insight, in the fifth, sixth and seventh chapter we return to the lexical borrowings from Greek. We follow various means by which they entered the Czech language, the way of their involvement in the Czech vocabulary, and finally the semantic and stylistic spheres, in which the Graecisms were most applied in our country. As a separate attachment following the final summary, we attach a list of words of Greek...
