Quantified subjects and their agreement with the predicate
Jochová, Marie ; Giger, Markus (advisor) ; Stranz-Nikitina, Veronika (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the subject-predicate agreement in sentences with a quantified subject. The theoretical part informs the reader about the general issue of agreement, and shows its various forms in the Czech and Russian languages. It also summarizes the basic knowledge of the predicate agreement with a quantified subject in Russian, and maps the factors that influence this agreement. It focuses only on the predicate number, which is exactly in these cases variable. The practical part verifies findings from the theoretical part with the help of data from the Russian national corpus. Four factors have been verified, which should influence the predicate number. These were: word order, animacy, agentivity of the subject and quantifier itself. The corpus data have shown that the word order and quantifier have a fundamental influence on the predicate number. The animacy has a significantly lower impact and the agentivity of the subject is negligible.
