Slovak-Czech interlingual homonymy - lexical analysis on the base of Slovak-Czech dictionary (U-Ž)
Fořtová, Eva ; Nábělková, Mira (advisor) ; Šimková, Mária (referee)
The subject of the thesis is the interlingual homonymy between Slovak and Czech, which is a topic that has been paid little attention by the Slovak and Czech linguistics. The fundamental part of the thesis is represented by a mirror dictionary of Slovak and Czech interlingual homonyms, based on The Slovak- Czech dictionary ranging from the letter U to Ž. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first, theoretical part is concentrated more generally on the lexicology and the theory of homonymy, interlingual homonymy, and other paradigmatical relations between lexical units. The second, lexical part is devoted to the principles of making a dictionary; next, it analyses some of the phenomenons that showed up as problematic while making the mirror dictionary of the Slovak- Czech interlingual homonyms.

The Role of Czech-English Interlanguage Homonyms in Second-language Acquisition
Šupová, Marie ; Lancová, Klára (advisor) ; Jančovičová, Ivana (referee)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with the role of Czech-English interlanguage homonymy in the process of second-language acquisition. The aim is to prove or disprove that the Czech learners are not in general very well acquainted with Czech-English interlanguage homonyms and that various factors heavily influence the depth of their knowledge. The theoretical part provides a brief overview of the synchronic and diachronic development of both the Czech language and the English language, including the influence of the English language on Czech and their mutual history. A further focus is on explaining homonymy and the theory of interlanguage and its influence on second language acquisition. The practical part is based on a questionnaire and attempts to discover whether Czech learners are aware of the phenomenon of "false friends" and the differences between particular instances. Special emphasis is put on the individual factors that impact the learners' command of knowledge, such as depth and quality of knowledge, work or educational experience in an Anglophone country, length of learning English, and frequency of using English. The analysis and evaluation of the results confirmed the hypothesis as valid. KEYWORDS interlanguage, homonymy, second language acquisition, treacherous words

Interlingual Russian and Czech homonymy within nominal parts of speech
Rajchert, Natalia ; Rajnochová, Natalie (advisor) ; Nyklová, Ljudmila (referee)
The topic of the following Bachelor thesis is concerned with Russian-Czech interlingual homonymy research within the system of nominal parts of speech (theoretical and practical analysis of the above mentioned languages). In the thesis we give a claffication of interlingual homonyms and analyse the linguistic processes leading to semantic contradictions within the words of the same origin. For fulfilling the tasks stated we use literature written in Russian and Czech. Key words: homonymy, Czech homonymy, Russian homonymy, nominal parts of speech, linguistic process, semantic field, word meaning, comparative method, descriptive method, Czech national corpora, Russian national corpora

Characteristics of the context differentiating homonyms of the same word class (e.g. "bank"," palm") in written language
Šefčík, Dominik ; Dušková, Libuše (advisor) ; Tichý, Ondřej (referee)
Homonyms present considerable difficulties not only for the theoretician of language but also for any lexicographer who aims to adequately represent the state of lexical relations within a language. Mapping the principal causes of fuzziness in understanding homonymy, the present thesis first seeks to systematize the usage of the concept by discussing the two poles that characterize each homonymic pair: the notion of sameness on the one hand and the notion of difference on the other. The theoretical part of the thesis concludes with a brief disputation over the usual practice of subsuming homonymy under the heading of ambiguity. The research project uses ambiguity as a springboard for a detailed three-tier analysis of the homonyms bank and palm. Since the point of convergence of almost any treatment of homonymy is the disambiguating role attributed to context, the principal points that are analysed are all to do with context albeit on various levels of abstraction. The first tier looks at the structure of the noun phrases that contain the analysed homonyms. The second tier expands the understanding of context in order to embrace the whole clause with a view to discovering systemic variation in the type of clause element the examined homonyms tend to occur in. Finally, the third tier analyses the...

Lexicological view of the language of sport commentaries/Lexikologický pohled na jazyk sportovních komentátorů
MESZ, Marek
The diploma thesis deals with the speech of sport commentaries and expressions used by sport commentators during sport broadcast. The thesis focuses on the lexicological level of their speech. The theoretical part at first presents a short summary of language of sport journalism and then the major part of the theoretical part is dedicated to meaning. Several different approaches to meaning are presented in this part as well as definition of meaning itself. Theoretical part also defines semantic change and it focuses on polysemy and homonymy and their distinction. The practical part is dedicated to the occurrence of polysemous and homonymous words among arbitrary chosen sport terms. The diploma thesis should contribute to the further study of the language of sport commentaries. The thesis should also be useful for the scientific and public society and it should serve as a link between those two areas.

Mezijazyková homonyma z perspektivy historického vývoje
KRAHULÍKOVÁ, Karolina
This bachelor thesis studies the topic of international homonyms, so-called false friends, in the framework of applied linguistics. This linguistic study is aimed at words that are formally alike in Czech and English, but have a different meaning. This is often caused by the same origin of the two words but different semantic development. The main importance rests in the dictionary part where the origin and usage of one hundred expressions is explained as well as in the practical study focused on Czech students of the English language and their knowledge of Czech?English interlanguage homonyms, which was explored by the method of questionnaire with at least eighty respondents. This linguistic study could be useful for the pedagogical purposes, it may help to explain the different meanings and help students to understand the development of the interlanguage homonyms instead of learning them by heart.
