Hindi, Urdu and Hidustani - language development and socio-linguistic aspects
Večeřová, Lucie ; Kostič, Svetislav (advisor) ; Hons, Pavel (referee)
(in English) The aim of this thesis is to describe the language development of Hindī and Urdū from the same grammatical and lexical basis (the Kharī bolī dialect). The development divergence will be described in terms of both the historical development at different stages, which were conditioned by cultural and political influences, and the internal development (phonological, morphological and syntactical). The current linguistic situation is closely linked to the political development and language policy of India and Pakistan, where the two languages, Hindī and Urdū, are establishing themselves as official languages. The relationship between these two languages will be explored more deeply in sociolinguistic terms. The author will describe the conditions and circumstances of the use of languages on colloquial and literary levels.

Khadimetova, Nilufar ; Kostič, Svetislav (advisor) ; Marková, Dagmar (referee)
Charles University, the Faculty of Philosophy Department of South and Central Asia Diploma Thesis Student: Nilufar Khadimetová Language features of the modern Hindi short-story in diaspora Annotation The objective of the thesis is a description of the language of modern Hindī short- stories by Indian authors who live and write in diaspora. Analysis and description are made on a limited sample of short-stories that have been written since the beginning of the 21st century. Philological analysis includes both the lexical borrowings and the way of word formation and phraseology. It focuses on onomasiological phenomena such as "loan translation" or calc and creation of hybrid words as well as syntagmas. No less attention is devoted to syntax which we can assume that may be affected by English or another language in which the authors write. In conclusion we set out the main features of the English language influences on literary Hindī as reflected in selected stories, and indicate further possibilities for research in this area. Key words: Hindī, diaspora, modern hindī short story, language contact, code switching or mixing, language impacts, lexical borrowings, onomasiology, phraseology, verbo-nominal expressions, verb syntagmas etc.

Repetitive formations in Hindi
Diatka, Vojtěch ; Kostič, Svetislav (advisor) ; Hons, Pavel (referee)
The main goal of this bachelor thesis is systematization of classification of morphological operation known as repetition. Even elaborated studies on repetition either deal only with small part of this big topic or suffer from fragmentariness. After distinguishing repetition from reduplication we formulate definition for recognizing each case of examined phenomenon. Then we pursue the need to introduce theory of prototypes into thoughts about repetition that helps us to solve some problems concerning classification of this morphological operation. The greatest part of this thesis consists of classification of repetition itself. In introductory part of each chapter we briefly analyze the way in which other linguists treat the concrete type of repetition. Important two parts of each chapter are structural aspect and semantic aspect. By first we mean formal changes which word undergoes when reiterated. By the latter we mean semantic shifts. Both aspects are treated in detailed manner. Each type of repetition we exemplify by words taken from grammars and words taken from our corpus. Another important topic is onomatopoeic reduplication. We try to demonstrate why it is not type of reduplication and at the same time we propose how to account for this phenomenon. These words are best to describe when we...
