Černá, Daniela ; Müllerová, Eva (advisor) ; Jančík, Jiří (referee)
TITTLE: The Frequency of Non-finite Clauses (gerund, present participle, infinitive) in Works of French Literature. AUTHOR: Daniela Černá DEPARTMENT: Department of French Language and Literature. SUPERVISOR: PhDr. Eva Müllerová, CSc. ABSTRACT: The aim of the thesis is to examine the frequency and the function of non-finite clauses in selected works of French literature. It is possible to establish the characteristic features of non-finite clauses by means of a statistical research of the prevalence of particular clauses within the first ten pages of selected works of French literature. Another goal of the thesis lies in the definition of the influence of both the literary genre and the period in which the work was written on the choice of particular non-finite clauses. In conclusion, the thesis should underline the position of French non-finite clauses and could also serve as a tool for prospective French teachers in the form of a review of the representation of non-finite clauses in literary language. KEYWORDS: non-finite clause, gerund, present participle, infinitive, sentence elements

Gérondif in French and its Czech Equivalents (Corpus Analysis - Intercorp)
VÍTOVCOVÁ, Dagmar
Annotation The topic of the work is French gérondif. The work is divided into two main parts. The first part the theoretical one describes the form and deals with usage of Czech present participle, that is to say presumed system equivalent of French gerund. A current Czech usage usually opts for another form of formulation that is why the work tries to describe those minutely. In this part hypothesis about possible translation of French gerund into Czech are formulated. In the second part called corpus analysis, the work concerns with already formulated hypothesis that tries to argue against.
