The pronunciation of Latin and Greek Words in Present-Day English/Výslovnost slov latinského a řeckého původu v současné angličtině
ŠMAHOVÁ, Alžběta
This thesis deals with varying pronunciation of words of Latin and Greek origin in present-day English. At the beginning, this thesis outlines the historical background, i.e. when and how these words penetrated into the English language. The rest of this work will explore Latin and Greek loans that became settled in English, their idiosyncrasies in plural formation and their Germanic equivalents. The thesis also includes an alphabetical list of the most frequent Latin and Greek loans occurring in English that are interesting with respect to their pronunciation.
Word Order Patterns in Old and Modern English
REHÁKOVÁ, Zuzana
This thesis focuses on the patterns of the word structures in Old English and Present Day English. It is based on an analysis of two different texts. The theoretical part of this study concentrates on the evolution of the language itself which, is vital for understanding all the changes that have occurred during the evolution of English language. Different sentence structures and word order patterns are analysed in the practical part. I chose the poem Beowulf, because it is the best preserved work from the Old English period and a book by the author Agatha Christie who is a world-famous writer of the 20th century. Samples were selected from both written texts, and analysed with a focus on the word order patterns of different types of sentences (simple sentences, subordinate clauses of time, purpose, manner, conditional, etc.).
