The Place and the Minor Place Names around Třešť
BARTUŠKOVÁ, Barbora
The diploma thesis deals with toponyms around the village Třešt' in Vysočina. Oikonyms and anoikonyms are analysed. The thesis loosely follows my bachelor thesis Street names in Třešt'. The theoretical part introduces onomastics, toponomastics and etymology. The practical part will be divided into two main chapters. One chapter will deal with oikonyms, i.e. names of villages, their name motivation, the other will analyze anoikonyms. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the names of villages and non-residential objects around the village Třešt' and also to find their etymology with the help of oikonymic and anoikonymic dictionaries, cadastral maps, chronicles and narratives of eyewitnesses.

"Aegean list" from the temple of Amenhotep III at Kom el-Hetan: mapping the current stage of knowledge
Bělohoubková, Dana ; Mynářová, Jana (advisor) ; Coppens, Filip (referee)
The B.A. thesis deals with an "Aegean List" from the temple of Amenhotep III at Kom el-Hettân. It attempts to answer a question of a possible reconstruction of relations between the Aegean area and Egypt. In the first part of the thesis the list is set into a wider context, dealing also with others lists of toponyms, as well as the temple, in which the "Aegean list" was found. The next part of the thesis discusses different interpretations of this monument. An evaluation of the temple at Soleb is also covered. In this case a translation of the toponym list from Soleb was created, serving as a basis for a comparison with topographical lists from Kom el-Hettân. The temple at Soleb was also used for the reconstraction of decoration of the temple of Amenhotep III at Kom el-Hettân. Using decoration scheme a symbolic function of the "Aegean List" being a part of a concept of kingship was proven. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Between Morphology and Word-formation: the Grammatical Category of Number in Toponyms
Štěpán, Pavel
The paper deals with the specific functions of the grammatical category of number in Czech toponyms. As proper nouns form a specific sphere of the language, also their grammatical categories may display differences from the core of the lexicon. In many toponyms the plural ending does not fulfil the usual role of the grammatical ending, for it does not express the plurality or the multiple character of the object (e.g. the fact that the object consists of several parts). The use of the plural ending is merely analogical in many toponyms, the analogy is based on mechanical imitation of the form of other toponyms. In these cases the plural ending functions rather as a derivative word-formation suffix than a mere grammatical ending. On the other hand, in some toponyms the grammatical function of the plural ending is still kept. The decisive criterion for the detection of the function of the plural ending is based on the details of the given naming act.

This dissertation deals with a description of the attributive urbanonyms in two cities of Vysočina region. Accordingly, the aim of this work is to chart the street nomenclature using the attribute, namely in terms of historical development and semantic motivation. This work is divided into two parts. The theoretical section follows up onomastics as a discipline, its history, personalities, as well its characteristic, basic division and functionality. The next part of theoretical section is about toponyms, specifically attributive urbanonyms, making clear their progression and frequency in the Czech republic. The second part is the practical part dealing with attributive urbanonyms in my home region Vysočina.

Proper Names and Toponyms in Czech and Russian Translation of The Lord of the Rings
Tiagusheva, Tatiana ; Adamovičová, Ana (advisor) ; Hasil, Jiří (referee)
(in English): This bachelor's thesis compares translations of proper names and toponyms in the Czech and a chosen Russian versions of J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. The aim is to uncover the original meaning behind the names in the English version of the novel and to explain the logic behind the translators' decisions when trying to convey the meaning. The work also examines theoretical questions of translating proper names and toponyms, and gives opinions of a number of specialists in the field describing some of the existing methods of translation. Based on statistical data and diagrams, it compares the Czech and Russian approach to translating and reveals which methods of translation (e.g. word-for-word translation, transcription etc.) the translators prefered and where the translations were not appropriate. Part of the work is devoted to a general comparison and evaluation of the given translations.
