The structure of scholarly texts in Middle and Modern Czech: a comparative syntactic analysis
Zitová, Anna ; Zikánová, Šárka (advisor) ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (referee)
This thesis deals with discourse relations as a parameter of style. Two sets of text samples were analysed, both of which are characterized by the same stylistics features within the cathegory of scholarly style but differ in the date of origin (1500-1620 for one set, 1950- for the other). Analysis is focused on the issue to which extent are semantic relations in the discourse structure marked up by explicit lexical means, i. e. by the discourse connectives. The sets of text samples were annotated according to the scheme used for the discourse annotation in The Prague Dependency Treebank. The hypothesis was confirmed that discourse relations are marked up by the discourse connectives more frequently in the set of texts from the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century than in the other set. It turns out in further investigation that the difference mentioned above was caused by different conventions in placing discourse connectives rather than by establishing different semantic relations between textual units.

Suffix -iný in the Old and Middle Czech Language
Chybová, Barbora
This paper is aimed at the problem of the existence and (non)productivity of the suffix -iný in old and middle Czech language. Although the suffix -iný represents one of the systemic members of the group of possessive adjectival endings -óv, -in, -ový, -iný, other possibilities of interpretation of this conclusion are being examined.

On the formation of the non-stem declension type píseň (focusing primarily on Old- and Middle-Czech periods)
Vajdlová, Miloslava
The new non-stem declension type píseň (earlier also dlaň, obec, etc.) has been established in the course of the Old-Czech period on the basis of three feminine groups: 1/ the i-stems ending with -sn, -zn, -z+C+n or -V+n (e.g. Old-Czech básn, piesn; bázn, kázn; prázdn; dan, dlan, sien, etc.); 2/ ja-stems with alternative nom./acc. ending with -ě/0 (Old-Czech ojě/oj, púščě/púšč, tvrzě/tvrz, etc.); 3/ ū-stems (Old-Czech břěskev, cierkev, húžev, etc.). The impact of the formal proximity of the ja- and i-stem nouns equal in gender (feminine), zero ending of nom. sg. and a number of identical case forms, has caused a new paradigm has been created gradually comprising endings of the ja-stem feminine declension and the i-stem feminine forms; following the change of ě > e, the ū-stems merge into these feminine nouns. Therefore, the new declension type can be considered as established towards 1500. Later, the type píseň has joined a number of i- and jo-stem masculine nouns (Old-Czech san, křěč, krádež, faleš, etc.) and some individual feminine nouns. The formation of the declension type píseň has been an age-long process and the transition of some nouns to it has been very slow. The key role in the process of transition has played the consonantal ending of nouns – the declension type píseň has formed, or gradually joined nouns ending with nasals, palato-alveolar fricatives, and labials above all.

To the development of the verb opposition of -ěti and -iti
Chybová, Barbora
This paper is aimed at the verb doublets of -ěti and -iti (the third and the fourth infinitive class case), that means the deadjective verbs that reflects the opposition of the intransitivity (the process of receiving qualities, černět) and transitivity (the process of giving qualities, černit). This opposition is observed in its development from the old Czech language to the modern one, with its emphasis on the Czech language of the 16th – 18th century.
