Automatic Identification of Paraphrases
Otrusina, Lubomír ; Schwarz, Petr (referee) ; Smrž, Pavel (advisor)
Automatic paraphrase discovery is an important task in natural language processing. Many systems use paraphrases for improve performance e.g. systems for question answering, information retrieval or document summarization. In this thesis, we explain basic concepts e.g. paraphrase or paraphrase pattern. Next we propose some methods for paraphrase discovery from various resources. Subsequently we propose an unsupervised method for discovering paraphrase from large plain text based on context and keywords between NE pairs. In the end we explain evaluation metods in paraphrase discovery area and then we evaluate our system and compare it with similar systems.

An Old Testament text and its paraphrases
ŠTĚPÁNOVÁ, Alena
The aim of the bachelor thesis is the comparison of the book of Esther from the Old Testament with its selected paraphrases and a critical evaluation of the work of the authors of the paraphrases with the text. The thesis first briefly introduces the story of the book of Esther and its main character. Then the contents of the book of Esther in the Czech study translation of the Bible (Masoretic text) are compared with the contents of the book of Esther in the Czech translation of the Jerusalem Bible (Septuagint). Subsequently, selected paraphrases in both versions are compared according to a predetermined structure. The assessment of the texts was carried out using the method of comparative analysis, where the main differences and similarities of the compared works were pointed out. As a result, it was also evaluated how the paraphrase changes or does not change the original point of the book of Esther. At the end of the work, the findings of these comparisons are summarized.

Incredible Adam Spark. Between translation and transformation
Náprstek, Marek ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Matuchová, Klára (referee)
This BA thesis is concerned with the translation of a part of the novel The Incredible Adam Spark written by a Scottish author Alan Bissett and its consequent stylistic analysis. This thesis deals mainly with the question of reproduction of a literary work in a different socio-cultural environment that it was created in, it discuses the achievable degree of objectivity and authenticity during the process of translation and finally it concentrates on the role of a translator as a mediator between the writer and the reader. One of the examined fields is also the question of the translator's involvement in the reformulation of the translated material, in other words, his role as a partial co-author, who is incapable of depersonalized transmission of information between the writer of the source text and its recipient. The thesis itself is divided into three main parts. First part provides theoretical framework dealing with the general question of the process of translation and its principles. Second part consists of the translation of a part of the text in question. Third part concludes by analysing the chosen procedures and encountered problems in relation to the theoretical framework mentioned above.

Symbol, sign. Citations and use of work of art as a creative principle
Fricová, Soňa ; Velíšek, Martin (advisor) ; Bláha, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis is dedicated to a postmodern use of symbol and sign. It is based on set definitions of major terms in the fine art and maps the space between a word and a picture as well as impersonal understanding of computer-generated codes. Didactic part enables to work with symbol and sign in art education. An analytical and syntactical thinking, the knowledge of the art history and the ability of intellectual fabrication are the basic ideas of the thesis. Art works, that use multilevel symbol expressions and are formally based on a postmodern thinking, are introduced in a practical part of the thesis.

Žbirková, Nikola ; Mareš, Petr (advisor) ; Šebesta, Karel (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the intertextuality in advertising. The theoretical part first of all defines the basic concepts, such as advertising, intertextuality and its types or transtextuality, and in addition includes selected approaches to intertextuality in advertising and their subsequent comparison. The practical part contains a design of an information system for working with a corpus and the introduction of the corpus itself, accompanied by comments and evaluation.
