The Development of the Form -m.u to Forms -ó/ -jó and daró as an Example of Grammaticalization and Subjectification
Kanasugi, Petra ; Švarcová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Fiala, Karel (referee) ; Barešová, Ivona (referee)
The thesis is a continuation of studies of Japanese modality, however its theme is not defined based on a particular kind of modality as is commonly done in synchronic studies but based on completely or to a degree shared common origin of the studied forms. Usage and properties of Early Middle Japanese -m.u are compared with usage and properties of Modern Japanese {-ō /-jō} a darō, schematic meanings of respective forms are suggested and grammaticalization and subjectification shifts which have taken place during approximately one thousand years of development are mapped. The results of the analysis show that subjectification has taken place and that the main impuls leading to the subjectification changes was grammaticalization of suffix -m.u to ending {-ō /-jō} respectively to particle (in Narrog (1998) terms) darō, which lead to split of one schematic meanings "inclination" in general control cycle (Langacker 2002, 2009) to two separate schematic meanings "inclination" in factual respectively epistemic control cycle.

Verbal resources for affective stance display in Japanese conversational interactions
Zawiszová, Halina ; Barešová, Ivona (advisor) ; Jabłoński, Arkadiusz (referee) ; Rosen, Alexandr (referee)
This thesis focuses on verbal resources for affective stance display in Japanese conversational interactions. Its aim was to determine the major types of linguistic forms and formats that are systematically and methodically employed by Japanese speakers for the purpose of constructing affective stance displays in their everyday informal conversational interactions and to demonstrate some of the ways in which they may be used together with other resources to accomplish particular affective stance displays in the context of specific actions and activities. The thesis considers various affective-stance-display-related uses of lexical categories, verbal morphology, demonstratives, zero-marking, topic-marking, person reference, connective expressions, non-predicate-final constituent order, direct speech constructions, question forms, syntactically incomplete utterance constructions, and utterance-final elements. It is based on the study of recordings of spontaneous conversational interactions primarily of Japanese young adults in close personal relationships. Methodically, the thesis draws mainly on conversation analysis and interactional linguistics.

Characteristics of Ibuse Masuji's literary work "Honjitsu Kyúshin". Cohesion masterpiece
Šimůnek, Petr ; Švarcová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Tirala, Martin (referee) ; Barešová, Ivona (referee)
The detailed analysis of the novella "Honjitsu Kyúshin" ("No Consultations Today") showed some of the significant aspects of cohesion in composition techniques used by the author Ibuse Masuji. The novella as a whole as well as its parts (stories) can be classified as perfectly coherent with a clear depiction of the characters and story lines. This cohesion masterpiece includes the following types of cohesion. Firstly, grammatical cohesion - the most important is the pronominal reference. This kind of reference uses pronouns and pronominal expressions to organize the inter-sentential relations and participates in the co-refferential chains, usually in the shorter ones. The cohesive conjunction plays less important role in the intra-sentential structure of some parts of the novella. The morphological contiguity is used sometimes to serve the purpose of compactness of specific texts. Secondly, lexical cohesion - this kind of cohesion is very important and its analysis gives us deeper insight into author's composition techniques. The most frequent type in this novella is the cohesive substitution with incredible variety of expressions used to retain the identity of certain character or entity in the story. By means of continual substitutions the author can form co-refferential chains that easily go through each...

Aspectuality in Japanese
Šmídová, Hana ; Švarcová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Barešová, Ivona (referee) ; Fiala, Karel (referee)
This thesis strives to survey the category of aspectuality in Japanese. In the beginning the general definition of aspectuality is presented and consequently applied in the language context of Japanese. In respective chapters the thesis describes individual levels of expressing aspectual meaning. It provides a detail study in the categories of grammatical tense, aspect and modality and in their means in Japanese. The aim of the thesis is to show that in Japanese, although it does not assign a separate grammatical category of aspect as Czech language does, the aspectual meanings are being expressed, even if using different linguistic means than those used in Czech. The thesis contains many examples from the current language usage.
