Verbal periphrase être sur le point de + infinitif and its Czech respondents
Braunová, Johana ; Nádvorníková, Olga (advisor) ; Mudrochová, Radka (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the French periphrasis être sur le point de + infinitive and its Czech counterparts. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the theoretical framework. It contrasts the verbal aspect and the Aktionsart in French and in Czech, with the focus on the ingressivity that the periphrasis être sur le point de + infinitive expresses. The second part consists of empirical research. It presents a corpus analysis conducted on the parallel corpus InterCorp and partly on the referential corpus for French language (Frantext). The aim of the corpus analysis will be to create a typology of Czech counterparts of this verbal construction (e. g. adverbs, verbal periphrases etc.), to determine their frequency within different types of texts and to determine the tendencies in the choice of translators. The research will be supplemented with the reverse corpus analysis of two of the Czech counterparts and their French respondents. This will allow to determine other constructions that enter to the same paradigm as the periphrasis être sur le point de + infinitive. Keywords: verbal periphrasis, ingressive aspect, corpus analysis, Czech, French
