 Košťálová, Eliška ; Hricsina, Jan (advisor) ; Jindrová, Jaroslava (referee)
The main intention of this study is to describe the pluperfect verbal tense and its evolution in European Portuguese. This study consists of two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part starts with a short description of the portuguese language. The following chapter is focused on description of portuguese verb and its gramatical categories, portuguese modotemporal system and classification of portuguese verbs. There is an explantaion of how the verbal tenses and nominal forms are constructed in portuguese, using the example of constructing the imperfect and participle.

English past perfect in translation from Czech

After the examples were excerpted, the complete parts of the Czech texts (used for excerption) were analysed. I tried to assess the constructions that should be translated by the past perfect myself. This should help to identify the Czech indices/motives leading to the use of the pluperfect in the English translation. My accuraccy in assessing the Czech constructions translated by the pluperfect was 38.5% (I managed to identify 77 out 200 examples found in the corpus). The examples found in the corpus were later classified according to the supposed reason for the use of the past perfect in the English translation, found in the Czech original. The groups were as follows: An adverbial or another lexical device contributing to specification of temporal relations (72 examples, 36%), Hypothetical past meaning (11 examples, 5.5%),...
