The effect of the valency characteristics of the predicate verb on the syntactic order of adverbials

The aim of the thesis is to verify the unmarked sequence of the chosen contextually unbounded adverbials (free verbal modifications) in Czech depending on, particularly, valency, semantics, form, length and the type of utterance in which they occur. The results of the thesis were gathered from linguistic analysis of more than 1, 700 utterances from the data of the Prague Dependency Treebank. It was shown that the factor of the verbal valency works stronger in the unmarked word order sequence than the influence of their semantics does (the membership in the semantic category, for example, of locus, time, manner and so on). In the basic word order in Czech, there are firstly the optional contextually unbounded adverbials and only then the obligatory ones. It is their semantics that decides the order of the optional adverbials (not expressed by the dependent clause). In contrast to the optional adverbials, the obligatory contextually unbounded adverbials also have clearly stronger tendency to appear in the role of the actual rheme in the functional sentence perspective. At the same time, optional contextually unbounded adverbials occur in both the anteposition and postposition, the obligatory ones in the postposition. However, similar behaviour as that of the obligatory adverbials may be also observed for the...Cílem práce je ověřit bezpříznakové pořadí vybraných kontextově nezapojených adverbiálií (volných slovesných doplnění) v češtině v závislosti zejména na jejich valenčnosti, sémantice, formě, délce a typu výpovědi, v níž se nacházejí. Výsledky práce byly získány na základě jazykové analýzy více než 1 700 výpovědí z dat Pražského závislostního korpusu. Ukázalo se, že faktor slovesné valence se do bezpříznakového slovosledného pořadí adverbiálií promítá silněji než vliv jejich sémantiky (příslušnosti k sémantické kategorii, např. místa, času, způsobu apod.). V základním slovosledu stojí v češtině nejprve nevalenční (fakultativní) kontextově nezapojená adverbiália, až po nich valenční (obligatorní). O pořadí nevalenčních (nevětně vyjádřených) adverbiálií rozhoduje jejich sémantika. Valenční kontextově nezapojená adverbiália mají oproti nevalenčním také zřetelně silnější tendenci vyskytovat se v roli vlastního rématu v aktuálním členění. Nevalenční kontextově nezapojená adverbiália se přitom vyskytují jak v antepozici, tak v postpozici, valenční v postpozici. Podobně jako valenční adverbiália vystupuje ve slovosledu však i nevalenční adverbiále vyjadřující směr (kam). Na postavení kontextově nezapojeného adverbiália ve slovosledu má částečně vliv i jeho forma (nevalenční adverbia bývají častěji než nevalenční...Institute of Czech Language and Theory of CommunicationÚstav českého jazyka a teorie komunikaceFaculty of ArtsFilozofická fakult

New perspectives on cohesion and coherence: Implications for translation

The contributions to this volume investigate relations of cohesion and coherence as well as instantiations of discourse phenomena and their interaction with information structure in multilingual contexts. Some contributions concentrate on procedures to analyze cohesion and coherence from a corpus-linguistic perspective. Others have a particular focus on textual cohesion in parallel corpora that include both originals and translated texts. Additionally, the papers in the volume discuss the nature of cohesion and coherence with implications for human and machine translation.The contributors are experts on discourse phenomena and textuality who address these issues from an empirical perspective. The chapters in this volume are grounded in the latest research making this book useful to both experts of discourse studies and computational linguistics, as well as advanced students with an interest in these disciplines. We hope that this volume will serve as a catalyst to other researchers and will facilitate further advances in the development of cost-effective annotation procedures, the application of statistical techniques for the analysis of linguistic phenomena and the elaboration of new methods for data interpretation in multilingual corpus linguistics and machine translation
