The ability of some Czech prepositions to follow their complement
Jiřička, Lukáš ; Milička, Jiří (advisor) ; Kováříková, Dominika (referee)
This bachelor thesis aims to provide initial insights into the phenomenon of Czech ambipositions, as the possibility of their existence tends to be overlooked, if not downright rejected. The early chapters introduce the traditional line of thought standardly applied in the analysis of Czech and provide commentary and authentic corpus-sourced examples (from SYN2020) to argue against it. In the following chapters, an attempt to create a tentative list of Czech ambipositions is made, alongside some initial observations and simple corpus studies. This way, several aspects, such as the possible motivation of speakers to postpose these ambipositions, the productivity of this way of using the adpositions or the impact of genre or source language, are examined briefly, before the thesis moves on to suggest some possible ways of studying the subject matter further.
