Colors and their collocations in the Czech National Corpus
Špetová, Leona ; Kováříková, Dominika (advisor) ; Martínek, František (referee)
This bachelor thesis discusses the basic color terms in the Czech language and their collocations. The work aims to examine and determine which adverbs connect with color terms the most. The data for the research are gained from synchronous corpora of written Czech called SYN2015. The thesis describes relevant terminology and presents the main linguistic approaches to research of color terms in the language. To compare differently frequented color terms, the frequency was relativized, and depending on it, the connections were differentiated into collocations and combinations. Four categories of collocations were defined based on the analysis: category of connections with other colors, category of reference to physical objects, category of brightness, saturation and intensity, category of specific characteristics. Collocations of each color term (in case of the first category also combinations) are examined and described within each category.
