Comparison of the most frequent lemmas in written and spoken Czech
 Špetová, Leona ; Kováříková, Dominika (advisor) ; Adam, Robert (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the 20 most frequent lemmas in the SYN2020 corpus of written Czech and the ORAL corpus of informal spoken Czech. The aim of this thesis is to find out what functions and meanings studied lemmas have and, above all, to investigate whether these meanings and functions differ in spoken and written communication. The data for the research were extracted from the SYN2020 corpus of written Czech and the ORAL corpus of informal spoken Czech. A semantic analysis of the lemmas is based on a random sample from both corpora. The results of the comparison of the 20 most frequent lemmas in the written and spoken corpora show that the most frequent lemmas in both corpora are expressions with a grammatical function, which are involved in the construction and organization of the text. These lemmas often have multiple meanings. The analysis shows that the most frequent expressions in the SYN2020 corpus are prepositions and conjunctions and in the ORAL corpus pronouns and deictic expressions. The most frequent expressions in the ORAL corpus often also have a pragmatic function. These expressions can be described as discourse markers. By comparing the most frequent lemmas we can observe different characteristics of written and spoken communication.
