In the practical part, we first introduce the research methodology and set the assumptions that are evaluated in the...

Comparative constructions in Spanish with regard to the acquisition of structures
POHANKOVÁ, Alžběta
This bachelor thesis focuses on comparative constructions in Spanish. The work is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part explains the issue of gradation of adjectives and adverbs, distinguishes classes of comparation in Spanish (superior, inferior, and equal grade of quality) and presents the constructions in corresponding examples. The constructions are also discussed here from the semantic point of view, because in addition to the comparative meaning, they also have other secondary meanings. The practical part is analysing language levels and knowledge of comparations at individual levels. The analysis was performed using the study plan of the Cervantes Institute. According to the results of the analysis, a design of an annotation system for comparative constructions is created, as well as an annotation system of possible errors in the constructions.
