iv Abstract This Ph.D. thesis deals with light verb constructions (LVCs), such as provádět kontrolu (to perform a check) or chovat úctu (to show respect). It demonstrates how to apply theoretical knowledge of these constructions into practice, exploiting it during morphological disambiguation and thus potentially improving syntactic analysis. The theoretical part of the thesis covers three areas: light verb constructions, corpus annotation, and LanGr rule-based morphological disambiguation tagging. At first, LVCs are characterized, including their identification criteria, followed by a description of the current state of research on LVCs and a summary of papers published on the topic over the last fifteen years, with a particular emphasis on the syntactic approach to these constructions. A compilation of existing LVC inventories is also provided. Furthermore, Czech National Corpus written corpora tagging process is outlined, as it is closely related to the LanGr tool. Finally, LanGr rule creation and code implementation are covered. The practical part of the thesis addresses nominative-accusative case homonymy. New rules for the LanGr system are also developed to improve morphological annotation. In a case study, the most frequent forms of direct object LVCs are retrieved using data from the SYNv10 corpus....
