Attributive and Predicative Functions of Czech Adjectives
Manukjanová, Hana ; Lehečková, Eva (advisor) ; Synková, Pavlína (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the distinction of attributive and predicative adjectives in contemporary Czech. Although this distinction is very important for defining adjectives as a word class in many languages, there was only little attention paid to it in Czech so far. This thesis is based on the work of František Čermák Lexikon a sémantika (2010). It is strongly inspired by english tradition of linguistics, which is also a reason, why he introduces a new term predicative adjectives in Czech. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part contains theoretical description of predicative and attributive function of adjectives. It is based on information contained in czech and foreign grammarbooks, handbooks or research papers. The goal is to summarize these separate information. The theoretical part deals with the basic characteristic of both types of adjectives, it focuses also on description of their semantics, word form and valency, which depends on it. This part contains definitions of some questionable points or inaccuracies of these descriptions too. The second part of this thesis is given to corpus research. The questionable points or inaccuracies of the descriptions defined in the first part of this thesis are examined on the material of Czech national corpus, concretely the corpus SYN2010....

Specific Features of Functional Sentence Perspective in Czech of 16th Century (from the Point of View of Contemporary Recipient)
Stránská, Kateřina ; Janovec, Ladislav (advisor) ; Palkosková, Olga (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with specific feature of functional sentence perspective in Czech language of 16th century from the point of view of a contemporary reader. It is divided into two parts, such as theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part focuses on terminological background, which is crucial to know when reading this thesis. There is also a brief history of functional sentence perspective studies in Czech Republic. Other chapter in the theoretical part is also description of Czech language development. It is important to know it because of understanding the tendencies influencing the language in times the translation was written. The practical part targets on finding the specific features in the text with help of manifold examples and suggestions of how it could look today. It focuses on looking up features that could cause understanding or reading trouble to a contemporary reader.

Quantified subjects and their agreement with the predicate
Jochová, Marie ; Giger, Markus (advisor) ; Stranz-Nikitina, Veronika (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the subject-predicate agreement in sentences with a quantified subject. The theoretical part informs the reader about the general issue of agreement, and shows its various forms in the Czech and Russian languages. It also summarizes the basic knowledge of the predicate agreement with a quantified subject in Russian, and maps the factors that influence this agreement. It focuses only on the predicate number, which is exactly in these cases variable. The practical part verifies findings from the theoretical part with the help of data from the Russian national corpus. Four factors have been verified, which should influence the predicate number. These were: word order, animacy, agentivity of the subject and quantifier itself. The corpus data have shown that the word order and quantifier have a fundamental influence on the predicate number. The animacy has a significantly lower impact and the agentivity of the subject is negligible.

The complex predicate in Italian
Galli, Jitka ; Štichauer, Pavel (advisor) ; Obstová, Zora (referee)
The aim of the present thesis is to study the issue of complex predicates and their application in Italian language in order to help students of Italian language to understand the role and possible usage of these constructions. The paper is subdivided in a theoretical part and in applications. The theoretical part defines the basic concept of predication and the types of predicates (the verbal predicate, the verb- nominal and complex predicates). The second part is dedicated to possible applications of the presented phenomenon. The applications are structured in sample constructions drawn from language textbooks and in sample new constructions generated by the rules described in the theoretical part.

Upper Ontology UMBEL in Terms of Ontology Mapping
Vataščinová, Jana ; Zamazal, Ondřej (advisor) ; Vacura, Miroslav (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to introduce the topic of semantic web and linked data, to provide a description of the Upper Ontology UMBEL, its mappings to other ontologies, and to create new mappings to UMBEL Ontology. The source for this paper are publications and official web pages that are related to the topic. For viewing and browsing ontologies, editor Protégé is used. For mapping ontologies to UMBEL Ontology, application LogMap and UMBEL Web Services for searching for Reference Concepts are used. Contribution of the thesis should be the description of UMBEL Ontology in Czech language and creation of new mappings to UMBEL Ontology. The paper firstly provides a brief introduction to the topic of semantic web, linked data and ontology mapping. Then the thesis describes UMBEL Ontology, vocabularies in LOV and ontology mappings to UMBEL Ontology. Finally, newly created mappings to UMBEL Ontology are presented.

The ratio between verbal and nominal components of communication in administrative/legal texts in Spanish and Czech: legislative texts
KARPETOVÁ, Andrea
The legal and administrative texts have a range of common features. The aim of this Bachelor thesis is to prove one of them, namely the tendency to use nominal expression, and at the same time to determine the ratio between the nominal and verbal components. The work is divided into two parts; the theoretical and the practical. In the first part the author focuses on the theoretical definition of the syntax groups, especially on the nominal and verbal components, and also shows signs of a tendency to nominal expression, which is then proved in the texts in the second part. They are examined separately; Czech and Spanish texts and texts of an administrative nature are represented, as well as those of a legal nature. Then there is a comparison of both types of Spanish texts, and also the differences between Spanish and Czech texts have been found out.
