Expressing Concessivity in Spanish: from Meaning to Form (with Reference to Czech)
Součková, Tereza ; Kratochvílová, Dana (advisor) ; Čermák, Petr (referee)
The present work deals with expressing concessivity in Spanish, both from the point of view of the meaning and from the point of view of the form. The aim of the research, by means of analysis of language corpora, is firstly to create a well-arranged list of the means of expressing concessivity in Spanish and compare them with respect to the frequency and the type of concessive meaning, and secondly to create a typology of Czech translations of investigated constructions. General conclusions are drawn from these observations.

Antipredatory behaviour of Red-backed Shrike: the role of sign stimuli in a predator recognition
Součková, Tereza ; Fuchs, Roman (advisor) ; Hořák, David (referee)
This thesis summarizes findings on a recognition and categorization of different sorts of stimuli at birds, it deals with predator recognition in the Red-backed Shrike (Lanius collurio) in its practical part. The aim of my study was to examine if Red-backed Shrikes follow by sign stimuli or colour of stimulus during the predator recognition. I performed my research by means of experiments with dummies, I have observed antipredatory reactions of Red-backed Shrikes on various types of dummies which differ in the presence or absence of features of raptor or in the different coloration. I concluded according to Shrikes' reactions that during the predator recognition the information on sign stimuli playes the principal role, but only this information alone is not fully sufficient. Antipredatory behaviour of the Red-backed Shrike was also influenced by sex of bird apart from type of dummy, males were more active during the nest defence than females.

Use of Mood in Relative Clauses in Spanish (with Reference to Czech)
Součková, Tereza ; Kratochvílová, Dana (advisor) ; Krinková, Zuzana (referee)
The present work deals with the use of mood in relative clauses in Spanish and its translations to Czech. The aim of the research, by means of analysis of language corpora, is firstly to find out if the everyday language used in these clauses corresponds to the norms of Spanish grammar, and secondly to observe Czech translations, particularly if the subjunctive is situated in the Spanish relative clause. General conclusions are drawn from these observations.
