On the Presupposition Projection in Czech
Veselý, Vojtěch ; Macurová, Alena (advisor) ; Hajičová, Eva (referee) ; Bílková, Jana (referee)
On the Presupposition Projection in Czech I understand presupposition as both an implication and a set of requirements which have to be fulfilled by the (passive) context, i.e. a set of realized propositions and logico- semantic relations between them shared by the communicants. The content of presupposition is formed by information which the speaker characterizes as predetermined, i.e. known to the communicants. Presupposition is a semantically narrower notion than implication: every meaning expressed indirectly is implied, but not every implied meaning is presupposed. Contextually bound constituents express a proposition which is included in the active context, i.e. a set of propositions on which the communicants are actively focused. Contextual boundness is a type of presupposition trigger: information included in the active context is a necessary part of the passive context (it doesn't hold true vice versa, of course). Context shared by the communicants can not be incremented by the primary (i.e. directly expressed) proposition of a clause, unless all the presuppositions semantically entailed in the primary proposition are satisfied. Presupposition is satisfied if and only if proposition p which forms a content of the presupposition is part of the (passive) context. In case that the context...

Analysis and Actual Interpretation of Chapter 3,1 - 4,17
MÁDROVÁ, Lenka
In this paper the biblical passage dealing with the vocation of Moses is analysed. At first, the beginning and end of the passage is determined, the function of the passage within the context of Exodus narration is examined and several Czech translations of the text are compared. The examination is based on the Czech Study Translation. The second and third part of the paper is devoted to text analysis. At first the text is analysed on the linguistic-syntactic level, i.e. the grammar, stylistics and structure are examined. Next it deals with semantic analysis, i.e. with the meaning of the text, certain words are explained and semantic fields analysed. The last part attempts to find incentives for the life of contemporary youth in the passage. The way of communication of man and God in the case of biblical characters and of contemporary people is compared. 21st century youth is characterised as well as barriers which prevent it from hearing the voice of God. The issue of vocation recognition is discussed.

Separated chapters give a brief summary of the events in the years 1971 {--} 75 and explain history and structure of the most significant Czechoslovak journals in the time of my observation. The second and also the most important part of my thesis is searching lexical methods used in texts: fashion words, cliché, phraseologisms, foreign words etc. Thesis is focused on the description of these methods and the characteristic of their practical use in the text.
