HAJNÁ, Jitka
This diploma thesis consists of two parts: the theoretical part focuses on linguistic terms as synonymy, synonymic group, synonymic dominant, collocation, context etc. The exact specification of these terms serves as a background for practical analysis of extracted examples. The purpose of the practical part is a detailed analysis of the most frequented synonyms of the notion of ´cesta´ in present-day English and their collocational restrictions. The research is based on information acquired both from theorethical sources and from various authentic English texts written in the past 50 years.

Anglicisms and their synonymic relations
Martinec, Karel ; Vachková, Marie (advisor) ; Šemelík, Martin (referee)
The thesis aims to analyze the selected anglicisms in terms of their synonymic relations with the corresponding German synonyms. By means of corpus analysis and the so called self- organizing maps (SOM) will be examined to what degree these pairs overlap or vary in their lexical meaning and what is the nature of their cooccurrence profiles and their stylistic marking. The appendix comprises some of 100 database entries.

English synonyms from the syntagmatic perspective in intrasentential context
Šefčík, Dominik ; Klégr, Aleš (advisor) ; Tichý, Ondřej (referee)
Sense relations, traditionally regarded as primarily paradigmatic, have been shown to carry syntagmatic implications. The present thesis explores intrasentential synonym co-occurrence in order to identify characteristic patterns of such co-occurrence and to explain it with reference to the functions it performs in discourse. The theoretical part provides an overview of both general treatments of synonymy and the studies that deal with co-occurring synonyms. The analysis itself is based on two hundred and thirty sentences retrieved from the British national corpus that contain pairs of co-occurring adjectival synonyms such as confident-sure, faithful-loyal or brave-courageous. The findings suggest that adjectival synonyms co-occurring in the same sentence are typically coordinated (60% of analysed sentences) in order to signal semantic inclusiveness (e.g. a covetous and grasping man). Minor patterns of synonym co-occurrence, which accounted for 2% of the analysed sentences, include the scalar pattern (e.g. smooth, nearly urbane) and the negated pattern (e.g. cruel, not savage). The remaining sentences featured synonyms which did not form distinct patterns and were, accordingly, classified as instances of variation as their co-occurrence is likely to have been influenced by a desire to avoid...

Krucká, Barbora ; Ungureanu, Dan (advisor) ; Našinec, Jiří (referee)
(in English): The aim of this paper is to examine the role of Slavic substantive borrowings in Romanian vocabulary. Selected substantive loans are divided into five semantic areas. Analysis of each of them contains a series of synonyms, functional and stylistic inclusion in the Romanian vocabulary, idioms of which is part given lexical unit, and its derivatives. The result is a semantic classification of lexems of Slavic origin in the Romanian vocabulary, their stylistic stratification and position within the synonymic series.
