Finite and participial postmodifiers in spoken academic discourse: natural and social sciences
Škodová, Kateřina ; Šaldová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Malá, Markéta (referee)
The subject of the present study is a comparison of two postmodifying constructions in noun phrases - finite relative adnominal clauses with the subject gap and nonfinite participial clauses - in spoken academic discourse: natural and social science. The comparison is based on the fact that both constructions realize the same clause element, i.e. a postmodifier in a noun phrase. The aim of the present study is thus to present major characteristics and functions of finite relative clauses and their reduced counterparts with respect to their distribution across the two subregisters of spoken academic discourse. The study is divided into three main parts: the theoretical background (Chapter 2) which defines the major characteristics and functions of the two postmodifying constructions and their mutual relationship, as are presented in the literature; the main part (Chapters 3 and 4) which provides the analysis of finite relative clauses and participial postmodifiers; and conclusion in Chapter 5.

This diploma thesis examines cases of existential there-constructions in which the notional subject of the clause is modified by the present participle. The theoretical part of the research is based on the scientific studies. It focuses on the description of some other variants of constructions functioning in the same way as the existential clauses on the FSP level. The practical part of the thesis is aimed at the analysis of the excerpts gained from authentic literary genres of fiction and journalism. The practical part also tries to quantify the frequency of appearance of the existential clauses modified by the present participle. Besides, the thesis also tries to compare the above-mentioned type of English existential constructions with their Czech translations. According to the results of such comparison, the thesis suggests which structures represent the Czech equivalent of these constructions.
