DIPLOMOVÁ PRÁCE SERIAL VERB CONSTRUCTIONS IN ARABIC Konstrukce sériových sloves v arabštině Bc. Adam Pospíšil Abstract The aim of this thesis is to investigate multi-verb structures in Egyptian Arabic (EA) which show some characteristics attributed to the typological notion of serial verb constructions (SVC). After providing a preliminary definition of an EA-specific SVC notion, the author examines a substantial quantity of data from EA, gathered mostly on social networks, in order to describe the syntactic and semantic behavíour of constructions which are yielded by such definition. Finally, the results of this investigation are considered from the perspective of the definition of SVC as a comparative concept provided by Haspelmath (2016), so as to view the observed constructions in a typological context.

SIGNIFICANCE AND FREQUENCY OF LOAN WORDS FROM ARABIC LANGUAGE IN CONTEMPORARY CZECH
Zahran, Wail ; Vučka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hrdlička, Milan (referee)
Résumé The bachelor thesis is focused not only on the loan words from Arabic but also their frequency according to the Czech National Corpus, even from etymological point of view, if they are taken directly from Arabic or through other European languages with regards to the development and shape of these loanwords in the European languages. I have tried to prove the trace of the Arabic language already from the beginning, when the Arabs conquered Spain and started to spread their religion, culture and language there. The purpose of this work is also to emphasize the role of the Arabic scientists, who were born there, including their literature creations, which were translated to Latin and other European languages. I have also mentioned the school of translation in Toledo and the ways, how the Arabic words were spread in the contemporary Czech. A list of loan words according to different spheres was used as the core of this thesis. In conclusion of my work I have mentioned the final analysis of these words in the terms of frequency, length of their vowels and the principles of their domestication.
