English existential and existential-locative constructions (there + be) and their Czech counterparts
Rubešová, Michaela ; Malá, Markéta (advisor) ; Šaldová, Pavlína (referee)
The analysis of the syntactic structure of the notional subject NP confirmed the indefinite and zero articles to be the most frequent determiners. Being used to introduce the S on the scene, they occur mainly with the common nouns denoting concrete entities in the Exist and Exist-loc types. The newness of the S in Czech is implied by the word order, in which it typically occupies the end position indicating its rhematic function. The indefinite article is also the prevailing determiner of the singular count nouns in the Actional constructions, whose Czech counterparts may be subjectless verbal or nominal clauses. The Actional constructions containing notional subjects determined by a zero article are usually reflected in Czech sentences containing both the subject and predicate; the predicate reflects the subject action noun and the subject is added to the Czech structure to express the agent of the verbal action. There is a tendency for the adjectival premodifiers of the English notional subjects to become the adverbial premodifiers of the corresponding Czech predicates. Another determiner often appearing in the subject NP is the negative quantifier no. Interestingly, it has proved to be the most common means of forming negation in there constructions as opposed to the negative particle not. Again, Czech...

The principle of end focus in the English clause and the means of its realization. A comparison of older and contemporary literary text
Rubešová, Michaela ; Dušková, Libuše (advisor) ; Brůhová, Gabriela (referee)
In the present study we have attempted to determine the means of realization of the end-focus principle in the English clause. Conducting an analysis of two sample literary texts, an older one and a contemporary one, the aim was to trace the mutual influence of two word order principles, the principle of end-focus, which projects itself in the basic distribution of communicative dynamism over the sentence elements, and the grammatical principle, which represents the main word ordering tool in the English clause and as such may prevail over the functional sentence perspective. The analysis presented here had in its focus the possible outcomes of the application of the two principles. After dividing the material according to the clauses underlying word order, i.e. into clauses with and without transformation, analysis of the aspects influencing the FSP - linearity, the semantic aspect and the contextual aspect - was performed and several distinct types of clauses were identified depending on the extent to which either of the principles asserts itself in them. In the first type, both GWO and BDofCD were displayed by the clauses. These comprised 54.6% of the total of 441 clauses accepted for the analysis. The aspects monitored in them included the context-dependent character of the initial subject and the...

Influence of international non-governmental organizations on the creation of international legal regulation of sports
Rubešová, Michaela ; Balaš, Vladimír (advisor) ; Hamerník, Pavel (referee)
1 ABSTRACT The Effect of International Non-governmental Organizations on the Creation of International Sport Regulation Key words: international sports law, international non-governmental organization, lex sportiva The thesis researches international non-governmental organisations in the area of sport, their legislation and influence on international sports regulation and concerns also with the question of international sport law. It consists of four main chapters. In the first part, the relationship between state and law is analysed as well as the existence of the sports law itself. The chapter deals also with the specifics of sports rules and content concepts of sports law. The majority of rules in the sport sector is formed by the regulation which is not source of law in the formal sense. The second chapter defines the concept of an international non-governmental organization and tries to submit a definition with regard to diverse activities exercised by these entities standing on the border of private and public law. The third chapter aims to describe the organizational structure of sport as well as regulatory mechanisms. First, the International Olympic Committee is analysed from which the organization of sport unfolds followed by other stakeholders of the Olympic Movement: National Olympic Committees...
