The dialect of Quintus' epic Posthomerica compared to the Homeric dialect
Kodetová, Jana ; Muchnová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Bakyta, Ján (referee)
The thesis explores the Book 5 of the Posthomerica and discusses the issue of the occurrence of augment and contraction of verbs compared to the Homeric dialect. Unlike Classical Greek, where verb forms with stems ending in -ε and -α were almost always contracted and augmentation occurred in all verb forms of the indicative of the secondary tenses, both phenomena were attested in Homeric texts on a seemingly irregular basis. The Posthomerica, written more than 1,000 years after the emergence of Homeric texts, mimicked Homer's language, including the irregular distribution of augmentation in the indicative forms of the secondary tenses and the irregular occurrence of contracted and non-contracted forms. The thesis aims to analyse the occurrence of augmentation and contraction of verb forms with stem endings in -ε and -α in Book 5 of the Posthomerica and compare the analysis's conclusions with Homeric texts. Key words: Augment, contract verbs, verb, Posthomerica

Veronika Půlpánová Abstract: The first part of the thesis includes a definition of the term preposition and its general use and here it's represented as an outline of the evolution of the Greek language and prepositions together with the Greek Language tendency to lose declination and its transformation to the modern form. Second part tells about all kinds of prepositions in the Modern Greek language based on scientific grammar books. Prepositions are arranged according to the alphabet based on their types and there is an explanation of its use together with an example from a text from the ETHEG (Εθνικός Θησαυρός Ελληνικής Γλώσσας). In a case of the ancient prepositions based on their frequency and a reason of their preservation, possibly their influence on the preserving cases.

Non-prototypical uses of Ancient Greek imperfect of the verbs of saying in narrative prose
Sekáčová, Kristína ; Muchnová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Pultrová, Lucie (referee)
v angličtině 1) To create brief characteristics of particular functions of the Greek imperfect based on papers from reputable scientific handbooks of the greek grammar: Rijksbaron, Smyth, Schwyzer - Debrunner, Kühner - Gerth, Duhoux, Humbert. 2) To look up the secondary literature relevant for the topic in bibliographic handbooks and databases L'année philologique, GoogleScholar, Gnomon, Buijs etc. 3) The thesis won't follow the ussual distinction between imperfect: imperfectivity and aorist: perfectivity. Contrariwise, the student's task will be to find cases which don't corespond with the standard distinction and to comment, classify and find an explanation for these non-standard occurences. The material will be excerpted from adequately extensive passage from a narrative work of the student's own choise.

Verbal aspect in ancient Greek
Vařeková, Jarmila ; Muchnová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Pultrová, Lucie (referee)
V této práci jsem načrtla hlavní body a problémy slovesné kategorie vidu, její realizace a jejích funkcí ve starořečtině. Vycházela jsem z definice kategorie vidu, jak ji podúvá obecná lingvistika, nikoliv primárně z klasicko-filologického přístupu. Domnívám se, že tento přístup může být přínosný pro gramatiku starořečtiny, neboť dovoluje nahlížet jazykové jevy z nového úhlu pohledu. Vidový systém ve starořečtině má rysy společné se současnými neslovanskými indoevropskými jazyky i rysy společné se specifickým vidovým systémem slovanským. Stejně jako např. v angličtině či francouzštině se ve starořečtině vidová opozice imperfektivní : perfektivní realizuje v indikativu pouze na úrovni minulého času (opozice indikativních forem imperfekta a aoristu). Vidová opozice se však uplatňuje i v modálních a nominálních formách slovesa. podobně jako ve slovanských jazycích. Vid v řečtině totiž nevyjadřují samotné slovesné tvary (jako v angličtině a francouzštině), ale slovesné kmeny (prézentní, aoristový. perfekta). Ve slovanštině tak vid pronikl hlouběji do slovesného systému, slovesa vytvářejí vidové dvojice a v indikativu je vid uplatňován nejen na úrovni minulého času, ale i na úrovni času budoucího. Řecké futurum je narozdíl od slovanského vidově neutrální. V kapitole 2.5.3. jsme se podrobněji zabývali...

Pragmatic Analysis of Vocative in Latin
Ctibor, Michal ; Pultrová, Lucie (advisor) ; Muchnová, Dagmar (referee)
The thesis presents several so far unnoticed functions of (not only) Latin vocative. It argues against previous believes that vocative is used either for addresses, calls and summons, evaluation of addressee and emphasis, or is otherwise only conventional, polite, and thus lacking any real function. Firstly, the author describes vocative from the Speech Act Theory view-point and offers definitions of speech acts call and address. In chapters 3 and 4, he pays attention to vocatives so far considered as lacking function. Relying on the analysis mostly of Cicero's speeches and old Roman comedies, he presents two crucial functions of vocative in non-initial position in a text: 1) vocative as a mean of cohesion which helps to make the organization of the text more transparent and which emphasizes the structure of the text; 2) vocative of assurance/guarantee. In chapter 5, several minor functions of vocative are mentioned (mostly of pragmatic character): triumphal vocative, vocative as a disgrace and vocative as a parody. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Greek lexicography in antiquity
Vaněk, Adam ; Muchnová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Pultrová, Lucie (referee)
This thesis analyses the scheme of Ancient Greek lexicographic works. Each dictionary is classed into groups by shared word comment method, and by the type of vocabulary. Each group of works contains, if they were preserved, samples and analyses of the method of commentation which is typical for that particular group, author, or time of creation. The influence of the ancient works on later Byzantine lexicographic tradition is briefly mentioned, as well as which later works are origins for reconstruction of lost dictionaries. The table of known lexicographers and their works with references has been added to the thesis.

Syntactic construction depending on verba declarandi in Classical Greek
Procházka, Pavel ; Muchnová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Bakyta, Ján (referee)
The thesis "Syntaktické konstrukce po slovesech declarandi v klasické řečtině" analyses obligatory complementations conditioned by some selected predicates of verba declarandi in ancient Greek. It focuses especially on the types and frequency of obligatory complementations governed by verbs ἀγγέλλω, ἀποφαίνω, δείκνυμι and δηλόω in the writings of ancient greek historians: Herodotus, Thucydides and Xenophon with the aim to verify whether the supplementary participle as an obligatory constituent of these verbs is mostly following. The thesis also summarizes the current status of research in this field.

On the concept of composition in the writing On literary composition of Dionysius of Halicarnassus
Pavlík, Jiří ; Dostálová, Růžena (advisor) ; Muchnová, Dagmar (referee)
The text relates to rhetorical theory, stylistics and the history of literary criticism. It deals with a theory of style which has been presented by Dionysius of Halicarnassus in his treatise On literary composition. The literary style is treated in his writing in view of its compositional aspect so-called synthese (gr. ) that is the manner in which the words are connected. The thesis is based on a critical and analytical reading of primary sources as well as to technical literature. It surveys the recent research into several questions and deals with the compositional aspects of style in context of contemporary interest in the Hellenistic euphonic poetics. After two introductory chapters which deal with the Dionysius extant critical writings and the manuscripts and structure of the treatise On literary compositon, the thesis introduces the Dionysian concept of the synthese and its historical and conceptual background. The third chapter deals with a delimitation of the synthese and the other stylistic fields relating to the word selection (gr. ) as well as with the pre-eminence of the synthese considering its aesthetic impression. The next chapter presents three patterns of the conception of the synthese which appear in the Dionysian writing in different measure. Dionysius focuses on the third of them...
