Finnish and Czech diminutives in contrastive perspective
 Střížková, Dominika ; Fárová, Lenka (advisor) ; Lindroosová, Hilkka (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with diminutives, a special type of words that can express something smaller than usual (i.e. quantitative modification) or the speaker's attitude and feelings (often positive) towards an object or a person (i.e. qualitative modification). In flectional and agglutinant languages (such as Czech and Finnish), diminutives are mostly formed by adding a diminutive suffix to the stem of a base word. This work aims to examine whether Czech diminutives are also translated to Finnish with the use of a diminutive form. If they are not directly translatable, this work is to find out what equivalent does the translator use instead. In the theoretical part, I give a brief description of diminutive suffixes in Czech and Finnish. Most of these suffixes can have more functions than just forming diminutives. Another problem is the process of lexicalisation when a diminutive form acquires a new meaning and becomes a new lexical unit of the language. This means that a selection is needed to be made to exclude words that have a diminutive form but not a diminutive meaning. The practical part is based on an analysis of data from a corpus that contains fifteen Czech books and their translations to Finnish. I selected fifteen frequent diminutives and attempted to find out how they are translated...

Verbal periphrases expressing future in Finnish
 Střížková, Dominika ; Fárová, Lenka (advisor) ; Lindroosová, Hilkka (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with four periphrastic expressions that can express the future in the Finnish language. In certain cases they can substitute the common use of the present which is useful especially in such sentences where it is not apparent whether the verb in the present form refers to the present or to the future. In this study, I first wanted to find out how these periphrastic verbal expressions are used in Finnish. I also wanted to answer the question under what conditions these expressions can be used or what it is that limits their use. In addition, I used a parallel multilingual corpus to find out how the use of the periphrastic expressions with future meaning differs in the translation language, in other words how the way to express the future in other languages influences Finnish.
