Description of Old Czech Common Nouns Declension (with regard to Automatic Morphological Analysis of Texts in Old Czech Text Bank)
Synková, Pavlína ; Oliva, Karel (advisor) ; Petkevič, Vladimír (referee) ; Vepřek, Miroslav (referee)
The thesis aims at explicit description of Old Czech common nouns declension with regard to its application in a tool for automatic morphological analysis of (digitized) texts in Old Czech. This means that this description is intended to serve as a basis for automatic generation of word forms (jointly with their appropriate morphological information and lemma) which will then be used for assigning morphological categories (gender, number, case) and lemma to word forms occurring in Old Czech digitized texts. The thesis thus develops a base for the first step in transformation of text banks (which currently exist for the Old Czech period) into an Old Czech corpus offering more possibilities for linguistic research. The Old Czech period is defined as a period from the beginning of the 14th century (more precisely from the period when first coherent texts written in Czech appeared) approx. to the end of the 15th century. Nouns were chosen for this work, because they cover approx. 30% of texts in current Czech (which is the highest percentage from all parts of speech). Old Czech texts are taken into account only in a transcribed form (based on transcription rules used in the Old Czech Text Bank developed at the Institute of the Czech Language of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic).

Declension of masculine nouns of foreign origin - tendencies in Contemporary Czech.
ZELENKOVÁ, Lenka
The subject of the bachelor work is the Declension of masculine nouns of foreign origin - tendencies in Contemporary Czech. For clarity, we divided the work into four parts. The first part examines the sloping borrowed masculine, which are not fully included in the Czech system of declination, language guides. We describe the rules under which they are foreign masculine decline. The second part summarizes the results of three surveys submitted by Czech speakers to fill. We are here declinations masculine borrowed in practical use. Verify that the speakers are currently trying to inflect or inflect borrowed masculine according to the rules of language guides. In the third part of this work deals with exploration, which we used when writing a term paper. We refer here to view the inflection of the respondents borrowed names and compare the three variants formed fictitious names with variations of existing names. We compare whether it is possible that both groups of names of inflection in the same way. The fourth part contains annexes which are some examples of declension masculine nouns mentioned in the first part, then surveys the various models and their results. We enclose a summary of the substantive declension types.

A Fluctuation in grammatical gender - tendencies in Contemporary Czech
DUŠÁKOVÁ, Lenka
The arm of this thesis is to explore the effect of nouns varying in gender on nouns with a stable grammatical gender. Nouns ending with a consonant in N sg are usually either masculine or feminine gender. In the Czech language, however, there are also nouns that can be codified in both genders. First, we will focus on these nouns, that is nouns varying between masculine and feminine gender and ending with a consonant. Afterwards, we will examine nouns similar to them, it means nouns ending with the same consonant. We will verify whether the nouns ending with the same consonants as the nouns varying between masculine and feminine gender have a tendency to vary between masculine and feminine due to this fact. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part, we will describe individual technical terms necessary for the research (gender, natural gender, grammatical gender, declension of nouns, appellatives and propria). The practical part is divided into the results obtained from the Czech National Corpus and internet search engine Google, and into the results obtained by evaluation of 56 questionnaires. These questionnaires were proposed, elaborated and evaluated by the author of this thesis.
