Expressing Probability and Approximation in Spanish
Škodná, Agáta Anna ; Kratochvílová, Dana (advisor) ; Čermák, Petr (referee)
(in English): The bachelor thesis deals with the themes of probabilities and approximations in the Spanish language. The thesis consists of two parts: theoretical and practical. The first two chapters analyse terms in a theoretical way: modal meaning of the potential probable paradigm hablaré and periphrastic construction deber (de) + infinitive, venir a + infinitiv and venir + gerund. We will address the problematic elements of the aforementioned terms via literature of Spanish or Czech authors. The chapter focuses on the semantic and syntactic aspects. The second part involves a corpus compiled in the Intercorp parallel corpus based on the themes from the theoretical part. The goal of the analysis is to construct a typology of translations from the acquired results and focus on (not) preserving an epistemic modality with the meaning of probability and approximation in translations of given verbal constructions: periphrases deber de + infinitive / venir a + infinitive and probabilities of presentum / anti-presentum. Key words (in English): Spanish, modality, verbal periphrases, probability, approximation
