Homosexuality in Romani Community
Tišer, David ; Červenka, Jan (advisor) ; Beníšek, Michael (referee)
Despite the fact there is a need to deal with marginalized groups within LGBT community, there are no comprehensive researches or studies which could provide sufficient information about Romany LGBT minority. In general we can say that the social discussion is only focused on the LGBT from the mainstream society and on seeing the differences between LGBT minority and mainstream society. Likewise it is in another countries. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to provide enough basic information about Romany LGBT community living in the Czech Republic. Also to be able to see the destinies of other people who are repeatedly keeping in touch with discrimination more deeply and to localise whether the relationship of Romany society is changing to the LGBT minority. Key words Roma : Homosexuality : Coming out : Ritual purity : Identity : Transsexuality : Punishment : Prostitution : Culture

Eastern Uzh varieties of North Central Romani
Beníšek, Michael ; Elšík, Viktor (advisor) ; Adamou, Evangelia (referee) ; Tenser, Anton (referee)
The dissertation provides a grammatical description of a cluster of Romani varieties, called 'Eastern Uzh Romani', which are spoken in Transcarpathian Ukraine in an area adjacent to the Slovak border. These varieties are associated with five traditional locations, two of which are situated in the city of Uzhhorod, representing an eastern margin of a North Central Romani dialect continuum. The focus is not only on describing the common characteristics of the entire Eastern Uzh dialect, but also on highlighting its variation with respect to specific features of the individual varieties. The description is based on first-hand data collected during numerous fieldwork trips of the author between 2007 and 2016. The dissertation is organised into thirteen chapters. Alongside the proper grammatical description, it provides a detailed overview of the speakers' historical, ethnocultural and sociolinguistic background. The main attention is given to describing inflectional, derivational as well as functional patterns of word classes. In addition, it discusses issues of phonology, including historical phonology within the North Central Romani context, and also covers various syntactic structures.

Notes on proto-romani
Beníšek, Michael ; Kostič, Svetislav (referee) ; Vacek, Jaroslav (advisor)
This M.A. thesis, entitled Notes on Proto-Romani, attempts to outline an introduction to research into Romani in the context of an historical and comparative linguistics of Indo-Aryan languages. It summarizes the research carried out so far, beginning with the discovery of the Indian origin of Romani and placing particular emphasis on the Turner's theory about its Central Indo-Aryan provenance. The core of the diploma paper lies in the notion of "Proto-Romani", which is here considered a label for the development between the direct Middle Indo-Aryan forerunner of Romani and Early Romani. The aim is to demonstrate ways and methods of reconstructing such development, based on the comparison of (Common) Romani with various Indo- Aryan languages and with those of the Middle Indo-Aryan period in particular. The definition is accompanied by some in-depth linguistic analyses illustrating the reconstruction of Proto-Romani development on various language levels (phonology, morphology, syntax). The final chapter pertains to etymology and lexical development, in that it tries to analyse and resolve issues concerning some words for which both an Indo-Aryan and an Iranian source have been proposed.

A grammatical sketch of the Romani dialect of Versend, Hungary
Bodnárová, Zuzana ; Beníšek, Michael (referee) ; Elšík, Viktor (advisor)
The primary goal of the thesis is to provide a grammatical description of the Romani dialect of Versend (southern Hungary), an isolated and endangered South Central variety, which is transitional between Vendic and non-Vendic (Rumungro) subgroups of South Central Romani. The body of the thesis is divided into four main chapters. The first chapter deals with phonology and morphophonology, including a description of the phoneme inventory, vowel adaptation and quantity, and various sound changes. The second chapter is devoted to morphology and includes a description of the inflection and derivation of nouns, adjectives, and verbs. The third chapter deals with basic and complex syntactic structures and basic word order. The fourth, last, chapter is a brief analysis of the vocabulary of Versend Romani; it focuses on diachronic layers of lexical loans - especially from South Slavic languages - and provides a lexical analysis of selected semantic areas. The thesis also contains a brief description of the current sociolinguistic situation of Versend Romani and a vocabulary of Versend Romani translated into Hungarian and Czech. The linguistic data is based on both recordings of spontaneous narratives and linguistic elicitation by means of standardized dialectological questionnaires.
