Manifestation of Deflectivization in Contemporary Czech - The Tendency Not to Inflect Some First Names in Connection With Surnames
Kripnerová, Nella ; Sojka, Pavel (advisor) ; Adam, Robert (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of deflectivization in contemporary Czech, specifically the tendency not to inflect some first names in connection with surnames. The theoretical part focuses on the dynamics of the development of contemporary Czech, explains the concepts of norm and codification, describes variant forms in the language and clarifies the causes of language changes. He then defines a relatively new tendency - deflectivization and gives some specific examples of it. In connection with the non-declension of some names, it clarifies how such names should be inflected. The aim of the practical part is to compare the results of the questionnaire survey, which aims to find out to what extent deflectivization tendencies manifest themselves in the Czech population, with the results reported in the CNK and to evaluate whether or not there is a tendency to inflect these names prevailing. KEYWORDS Development tendencies of contemporary language, variation, language norm, codification, deflectivization, declension, first name, surname

Vowel length variation in two-syllable nouns of the "žena" declension type (corpus research)
Henyš, Jan ; Adam, Robert (advisor) ; Synková, Pavlína (referee)
This thesis aims on vowel variation in two-syllable nouns of the žena declension type. The first part of this work focuses on ways of capturing the matter in chosen grammars of Czech language, various editions of Pravidla českého pravopisu (The Rules of Czech Ortography) and other publications. The second part contains a description of particular stages of extracting two-syllable nouns of the žena declension type with vowel alternation present. From the revised results is then created a list of all the nouns containing varying vowel based solely on the data obtained from corpus. This part also aims on verification of various statements from Czech grammars or other publications, which are relating e.g. to the influence of lexical semantics or to phonetic structure of words on the vowel variation.

Comparison of Old Norse and Proto-Norse Noun Declension
Šimeček, David ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Štajnerová, Petra (referee)
Comparison of Old Norse and Proto-Norse Noun Declension The purpose of this thesis is to follow the development of noun declensions from Proto-Norse to the Old Norse (Old Icelandic) language. The first of the three chapters seeks to give a comprehensive overview of Proto-Norse noun declensions. This overview is based on the evidence of the older runic inscriptions and on reconstruction using relevant linguistic literature. Each of the declensions is presented in the form of a paradigm accompanied by commentary and quotations of preserved grammatical forms. The second and largest chapter presents a survey of Old Norse (Old Icelandic) noun declensions. The survey has two aims. The first aim is to provide a synchronic description of the Old Norse noun declension system which would not be encumbered by an excess of diachronic approach as is often the case in the traditional grammars of Old Norse. At the same time, however, it should show how Old Norse inflectional exponents and classes continue the Proto-Norse declensions as presented in the first chapter. There is also a discussion of some of the systemic causes leading to morphological changes in inflection. The third chapter sums up the previous diachronic analysis and questions the validity of the traditional designations of declension classes based on...

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.
