The Theory of Communication as an Explanatory Principle for the Natural Multilevel Text Segmentation
Milička, Jiří ; Zemánek, Petr (advisor) ; Cvrček, Václav (referee) ; Altmann, Gabriel (referee)
1. Phonemes, words, clauses and sentences are not a logical necessity of language, unlike distinctive features and morphemes. 2. Despite this, such nested segmentation is very firmly present in languages and in our concepts of language description, 3. because nested segmentation and inserting redundancy on multiple levels is an efficient way to get the language signal through the burst-noise channel. 4. There are various strategies how redundancy can be added and what kind of redundancy can be added. 5. The segment delimiter is expressed by some additional information and the amount of delimiting information is independent from the length of the seg- ment it delimits. This principle can serve as a basis for a successful model for the Menzerath's relation.

Kolek, Michael ; Mikulicová, Mlada (advisor) ; Buben, Milan (referee)
Bachelor's work "Why is Arabic spoken in Christian Malta? The heritage of the Orient on the formation of Malta's culture first solves with in the Phoenician colonisation of the Mediterranean island of Malta. In addition, the information on the Christian-Jewish communities on the island is briefly outlined. Following the subsequent Arab government in the Mediterranean, the work focuses on the recatholicization of the island through the Inquisition. There will also be reference to the action of Jesuits, which paradoxically supported the Oriental heritage. The next part of the work is about Maltese, Semitic. The conclusion of the work looks at the current relationship of the Maltese to the Arab heritage, the effect of Arabic on the Maltese Catholic liturgy, and the attitude towards the Arab and Islam in general. Keywords Arabic, history, Islam, Christianity, Malta, Orient

Serial verb constructions in Arabic
Pospíšil, Adam ; Zemánek, Petr (advisor) ; Siegl, Florian (referee)
DIPLOMOVÁ PRÁCE SERIAL VERB CONSTRUCTIONS IN ARABIC Konstrukce sériových sloves v arabštině Bc. Adam Pospíšil Abstract The aim of this thesis is to investigate multi-verb structures in Egyptian Arabic (EA) which show some characteristics attributed to the typological notion of serial verb constructions (SVC). After providing a preliminary definition of an EA-specific SVC notion, the author examines a substantial quantity of data from EA, gathered mostly on social networks, in order to describe the syntactic and semantic behavíour of constructions which are yielded by such definition. Finally, the results of this investigation are considered from the perspective of the definition of SVC as a comparative concept provided by Haspelmath (2016), so as to view the observed constructions in a typological context.

SIGNIFICANCE AND FREQUENCY OF LOAN WORDS FROM ARABIC LANGUAGE IN CONTEMPORARY CZECH
Zahran, Wail ; Vučka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hrdlička, Milan (referee)
Résumé The bachelor thesis is focused not only on the loan words from Arabic but also their frequency according to the Czech National Corpus, even from etymological point of view, if they are taken directly from Arabic or through other European languages with regards to the development and shape of these loanwords in the European languages. I have tried to prove the trace of the Arabic language already from the beginning, when the Arabs conquered Spain and started to spread their religion, culture and language there. The purpose of this work is also to emphasize the role of the Arabic scientists, who were born there, including their literature creations, which were translated to Latin and other European languages. I have also mentioned the school of translation in Toledo and the ways, how the Arabic words were spread in the contemporary Czech. A list of loan words according to different spheres was used as the core of this thesis. In conclusion of my work I have mentioned the final analysis of these words in the terms of frequency, length of their vowels and the principles of their domestication.

Types of temporal verbal constructions in the Egyptian dialect of Arabic
Zbončák, Přemysl ; Zemánek, Petr (advisor) ; Bielický, Viktor (referee)
(in English): In this thesis several types of temporal verbal constructions in the Egyptian dialect of Arabic are to be discussed. The main focus was headed on the verbal forms connected with the most occuring auxiliary/temporal verbs kān and ba'a. An inextricable part of the thesis was a detailed insight in the theory of Arabic verbs, both in Modern Standard Arabic and Egyptian Dialect. Our aim was to find out the frequency of these verbal forms, comparing their appearance and their contextual embedding. For the purpose of the analysis an original corpus of texts in Egyptian dialect (more than 700 thousands words) was created. The sources of the corpus came almost exclusively from texts of Egyptian bloggers. Last but not least programm PERL served as the tool for our analysis - statistically and contextually allowing working out of all possible combinations of verbal forms in question.

Modern Varieties of Judaeo-Arabic
Morávková, Anna ; Zemánek, Petr (advisor) ; Bielický, Viktor (referee)
Modern Varieties of Judaeo-Arabic Author: Anna Morávková Abstract The thesis deals with modern variants of Judeo-Arabic. The theoretical part puts the Judeo-Arabic into a broader historical, social and linguistic context and emphasizes its significance with respect to the Arabic dialectology. The practical part compares the phonological and morphological features of the individual variants of Judeo-Arabic that occur in two dialectal areas (Mesopotamian and North Africa). It is aimed at pointing out the differences between these variants and also their divergence from the major Muslim dialects and, concerning Mesopotamia, also other communal dialects.
