Functions of Passive Voice Structures in Various Genres of ESP compared with Czech Language Use.
Zemánek, Dominik ; Ellederová, Eva (referee) ; Baumgartnerová, Alena (advisor)
Tato práce popisuje pasivní konstrukce a jejich tvoření, význam, použití a funkce na základě rešerše související literatury. Trpný rod a s ním související změna slovosledu dávají autorům více možností uspořádání textu a zároveň umožňují zdůraznit, či naopak vynechat některá slova. To může především ve vědeckém a administrativním stylu pomoci soustředit pozornost čtenáře na popisované téma, což činí text neosobním a věcným. Jednotlivé rysy pasivních konstrukcí jsou popsány z pohledu gramatiky, sémantiky, stylistiky a překladu a jejich používání v češtině je také vysvětleno a porovnáno s angličtinou. Následně je charakterizována angličtina pro specifické účely a poslední kapitola pak analyzuje četnost a funkce trpného rodu v technických textech tří různých žánrů. To má za úkol potvrdit a znázornit rozdíly mezi danými žánry i jazyky, jelikož je každý anglický text porovnán s podobným českým textem.

Passive forms in Italian and Czech from the perspective of functional styles
Čechová, Petra ; Obstová, Zora (advisor) ; Štichauer, Pavel (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to theoretically describe periphrastic and reflexive passive in both Italian and Czech language, to establish approximate frequency of Italian periphrastic passive in different functional styles with the help of parallel corpus InterCorp (version 8) and to analyse the means of its translation into Czech. The initial theoretical part deals with a brief description of grammatical categories of verbs, then it focuses on grammatical voice and diathesis and it discuss further the differences in the notion of these terms. Subsequent chapters deal with formal aspects of the passive in both Italian and Czech, with its function and with the restrictions of its use. The last chapter describes the use of the passive in functional styles. The following practical part describes in brief InterCorp and subsequently deals with the problem of analysing the approximate frequency of periphrastic passive in the belles-lettres, newspapers and official type of texts. Finally, it analyses 200 instances of the periphrastic passive in each of the previously mentioned functional styles and it focuses on the means of its translation into Czech.

The Use and Grammatical Description of the Form "allgemeine reflexive Zustandsform"
Svobodová, Lucie ; Dovalil, Vít (advisor) ; Doležal, Jiří (referee)
This paper deals with a grammatical structure, so called "allgemeine reflexive Zustandsform". It consists of the second participle from a reflexive verb that can build neither passive nor "Zustandsreflexiv" and of an auxiliary verb. This form occurs also in attributive Position which does not correspond to the contemporary codification. The frequency and occurrence of this structure in various genres and themes was analysed by means of a corpus analysis of empirical examples from newspaper "Frankfurter Rundschau". Another important issue was to carry out the co-occur analysis and the determination, wether the examined articles lean towards the conceptually written pole or not. All these factors co-decided, if the "allgemeine reflexive Zustandsform" despite its frequent usage should be classified as non-standard. This form turned out to appear often in standard, exemplary and conceptually written articles. Therefore, we can assume that this structure shows a movement toward the standard variety of German.

The passive voice in old Awadhi
Sokolkina, Polina ; Strnad, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Melnikova, Nora (referee)
This thesis concerns with an investigation of the passive voice in Old Awadhi on the basis of one of the most important and extensive works composed in this literary dialect of Hindi - Padmávat of Malik Muhammad Jayasi (ca. 1494-1542). The main objective of the work is to compare different kinds of passives in Old Awadhi to the ones of modern standardized Hindi, both in terms of form and and in terms of its possible modal meanings. Besides theoretical description of formal and semantic aspects of the passive voice and analysis of passive verb forms in Old Awadhi, supported with a numer of specific examples, the thesis contains a description of the literary and linguistic context of Padmávat and a brief characteristic of Old Awadhi. Key words: Hindi, passive voice, modality, Old Awadhi, Jayasi, Padmavat

Frequency analysis of means of expression of Passive in Spanish
KANTOROVÁ, Anna
My bachelor thesis named Frequency analysis of means of expression of Passive in Spanish is divided into two parts; theoretical and practical. In the first section of the theoretical part, I examine how the problematic of Spanish passive is seen and explained by Czech linguists. In the second section I describe the attitude of Spanish linguists towards the passive voice. I focused in detail mainly on the chosen periphrastic verbal structures whereby it is possible to express passive in Spanish. The practical part is concentrated to the corpus analysis of the chosen periphrastic verbal structures their frequency of use in specific fields and methods used by Czech linguists for their translation into the Czech language. The aim of my piece of writing was to present and explain periphrastic verbal structures, whereby we can express passive voice in the Spanish language, as a method which is new or unusual for the most of us and thanks to which we can elevate our speech in Spanish even more.

The passive voice: an analysis of selected verbs in German
Rajn, Aleš ; Dovalil, Vít (advisor) ; Šemelík, Martin (referee)
The thesis aims to analyze passive forms of selected German verbs; focusing on experiencer and cognitive verbs. The use of selected lexemes is compared considering the question of "agentivity" by experiencer verbs. First, the issue is analyzed and commented with regard to selected codifications. By means of corpus analysis is examined if the current state of language use corresponds with the codification and also what is the motivation for the use of varieties.
