Concessive construction "avoir beau" and its equivalents in German and Czech
Drobník, Ondřej ; Venušová, Alena (advisor) ; Nádvorníková, Olga (referee)
(in English): The topic of this Bachelor thesis is the French concessive structure avoir beau and its equivalents in Czech and German. The thesis explains the notion of concession as an abstract meaning expressing an invalid cause and describes the ways of expressing the concession in Czech, in German and in French. In addition, French offers a unique verbal construction avoir beau, which is associated with an infinitive and acquires its concessive meaning by contrasting with the subordinated clause. Its most frequently found equivalents in Czech are e.g. marně, ačkoli, adjectives prefixed by sebe-, etc. German translates avoir beau most often by preposition trotz, adverbs vergeblich, umsonst, conjunctions obwohl, obzwar, etc., or modal verbs können, wollen and mögen. In the end, it was shown that in the search for a suitable equivalent, the translated sentences can be almost arbitrarily transformed, without much semantic harm.
