Japanese Character Description
Holáň, Jakub ; Zámečníková, Eva (referee) ; Horáček, Petr (advisor)
The Japanese language has from historical reasons a very complicated orthographical system based on more interconnected alphabets where the characters can be logograms (characters representing whole words) as well as phonograms (characters representing single sounds or syllables of a language). When searching or compiling a japanese dictionary various nontrivial methods of sorting these characters have to be used, e.g. sorting them by number of strokes or by radicals (basic building elements of a character). The aim of this thesis is to find an ideal database structure to accurately describe japanese characters and relationships between them. For good measure, a demonstration application has been developed, which can be used as a learning and revision tool for japanese students. The application is intended for internet use and it has been put together using the most up to date web technologies, such as Google Web Toolkit and Java servlets.

As expected Japanese proved to be one of the languages in which pronouns are omitted, even if they indicate the possessor of something (generally speaking). Even though, the general as well as individual rates of respective renditions were higher, than in the original Japanese texts on which the results were verified. This...
