Low Lexicon of Contemporary Russian Prose and Its Possible Translation into Czech
Vysoký, Josef ; Kitzlerová, Jana (advisor) ; Stranz-Nikitina, Veronika (referee)
The main aim of the thesis is to discuss a task of translation of low lexicon (esp. vulgarism) from Russian into Czech. Low lexion discussed in the thesis is based on texts of contemporary russian prose written by V. Kozlov. At first we compare both national languages especially their sociolects and specific layer of vulgarism. This layer is then analyzed in Russian and in Czech, which allow us to understand common and different fields in it. There is no direct equivalent in Czech to russian mat (a layer of highly expressive lexicon in Russian). According to functional equvalence we can show the way, how to substitute this lack of expressive lexicon in translation to Czech.

Vulgarisms in literary translation from French into Czech
Huml, Zdeněk ; Šotolová, Jovanka (advisor) ; Brunel, Aude (referee)
This thesis deals with the question of how vulgarisms are translated in the context of a literary text. First we sum up the theories of expressivity used in both common and literary communication. We point out the main typological differences between Czech and French as well as the key cultural differences in the perception of expressivity. We define the term 'vulgarism' and try to outline the use of substandard language in both Czech and French literature. In the following chapter Michel Houellebecq, his work and the fundamental traits of his writing style are presented. We also look at the reception of the Czech translation of Houellebecq's novel Les Particules élémentaires. Then we analyse the translation, focusing on the transfer of vulgarisms in order to trace and evaluate the translation method used to convey the vulgar elements of the original work.
