Auxiliary selection in present-day Italian
SIROVÁ, Lucie
This thesis is dedicated to researching the use and importance of auxiliary verbs in tempi composti (compound tenses) in Italian language and grammar. Some of these verbs show variability and in some instances they might prefer a different auxiliary verb than is the one commonly allocated to them. In the theoretical section of this thesis, compound tenses and auxiliary verbs are introduced. That is followed by the explanation of theories that were presented by authors Antonella Sorace and Delia Bently, including non-accusative hypothesis. The research section of this thesis was based on following the categories presented in the non-accusative hypothesis. Numerous various verbs were chosen and subsequently tested in CORIS and ItWac. Their occurrence and preferences towards the auxiliary verb(s) was compared and contrasted with the above mentioned thoeries.

HRABÁKOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor's dissertation deals with durative verbal periphrases. The theoretical part is focused on their description and application from the perspective of Czech and Spanish grammars. The practical part confirms and alternatively disproves the knowledge gained in the theoretical part. It further deals with the translation of periphrases and examines their frequency in particular verb tenses and modes. The aim of the dissertation is to demonstrate how the Czech translators of Spanish fiction contained in parallel corpus Intercorp v9 deal with the issues of durative verbal periphrasis. Periphrasis can have more meanings and there are many ways to translate them.

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.
