Time is epistemoligical problem. As such it has its relevance within quetsions of law, legitimity of law and its social recognition. Subject of law or subject under the law can be a human being. In language of George Herbert Mead we can speak about crossing of temproal perspectives and construction of institutions and related identites by taking on the perspective of generalized other. On the next level of theoretical abstraction it is possible to speak about operatively closed and functionally differentiated systemic communication as an epistemic subject itself. Human identity in such notion is dissolved in plurality of communicatioun discourses and with relevance to law it could be concieved as semantic artefact created by legal communication. Within such theoretical frame it is possible to speak about identity of law based on operative closure with its own dynamics and temporality. Diploma thesis takes into consideration popular notion of fast societal change and speed up of institutional transformation. With relation to first, more theoretical part it follows arguments about threat to democracy caused by disappearance of latencies in decision making and shortening of time for intersubjectivity. Trust and strong civic society is described as necessity in lowering of transaction cost within...

Diploma thesis "Pupils' Leisure Time at the Age of Eleven" deals with pupils' reflection of their leisure time and it also focuses on surveying the field of leisure activities and the factors by which the pupils' leisure time is formed (parents, school, friends etc.). To achieve defined goals the qualitative research strategy was chosen. At first, pupils filled in a brief ethnological questionnaire focused on leisure activities, then they were asked questions during the semi- structured (in-depth) interview and after that acquired data were supplemented and partially verified through non-participant observation. The diploma thesis brings an insight into children's notions about leisure time, which is to some extent coincident with professional notions, however, in some aspects of the issue their point of view is completely different. Furthermore, the findings of the research point out that, generally, it is not possible to talk about the children's lack of interest in physical activity and that (ab)using of computers which is refused by many people does not serve only to play games but also as a means of communication with children's friends and as a source of new information.

This diploma thesis compares the Spanish verb system with the Czech one in terms of expressing temporal relations. We use the InterCorp parallel synchronic corpus to examine the Spanish tenses of presente, pretérito imperfecto, pretérito perfecto simple, futuro simple, condicional simple, pretérito perfecto compuesto, pretérito pluscuamperfecto, pretérito anterior, futuro compuesto a condicional compuesto in the indicative mode and also the infinitive verb forms of infinitivo simple, infinitivo compuesto, gerundio simple a gerundio compuesto. We look for the Czech equivalents to the complex temporal meanings of the Spanish verb.

The concern of this thesis is the relationship between music and time, more precisely a specific kind of temporality, which is known as transcendent, sacred, sacral or "the third" time. This text is meant to be an introduction into the subject matter. At first the relationship between musical and non-musical time is discussed. Then the phenomenon of transcendent time is put into the relationship with theories of musical time presented by other, both Czech and foreign, authors. The last part of this paper contains an exemplary listing of composer strategies which can help in inducing an experience of transcendent time. These strategies are demonstrated on songs and compositions originating in different genres and cultures.

The aim of this thesis is to set up characteristic attributes of saga time structure and with concern to these to show how the Old Norse people understood time. Main attention is concentrated on the time structure of the family sagas. First, it is shown the principal of the dating in saga and how it differs from the principal of dating in annal and chronicle. I proceed to deal with the most common time indications to appear in saga and their role in the storytelling. The focus point of this thesis is a comparison of narrated time and time of narration. To support this intention, I use the three concepts of Gerard Genette - duration, order and frequency. Based on the duration concept, I try to investigate why extensive time leaps abound in sagas and what on the other hand appears to have been given some extra author's attention. According to the order concept, a question is discussed to what extent the saga holds the chronological composition. Within the frequency concept, it is compared how many times an event occurs to how many times it is narrated. In the following chapters the time structure of the kings'sagas and the legendary sagas is discussed. The crucial difference between the time structure of these and the structure of family saga is established. There is a conclusion to each chapter,...

The thesis "The Phenomenon of Free Time" focuses mainly on grasping free time as a phenomenon by analyzing the related terms in the work of Karl Marx and in the work of Emmanuel Lévinas. The introductory section is therefore devoted to a selection of philosophical questioning about the nature of time. Then I focus on analyzing the works of Karl Marx, especially in the light of the terms work, working hours and free time. In the chapter "Time in Phenomenology", I focus on the difference between the Aristotle's conception of time and the phenomenological conception of time. In this relation, I come mainly from the ideas of Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Jan Patočka and Emmanuel Lévinas. In the next section, I analyze the work of Emmanuel Lévinas and focus on the terms existence, time, work and other related terms. In the next chapter, I try to capture the tension of onticity and ontology of Marx and Lévinas and thus reach the phenomenon of free time as an ontological problem. I present this conception of the problem of the phenomenon of free time in the conclusion.

This thesis dealt with the English pluperfect in the Czech-English direction of translation. The aim of this thesis was to identify indices/motives leading to the use of the past perfect in the English translation, which could be found in the underlying Czech clauses. 200 examples and their English translational equivalents were analysed. Intercorp was used for excerption. It is an online parallel corpus tool made and run by Český národní korpus (Czech National Corpus). After the examples were excerpted, the complete parts of the Czech texts (used for excerption) were analysed. I tried to assess the constructions that should be translated by the past perfect myself. This should help to identify the Czech indices/motives leading to the use of the pluperfect in the English translation. My accuraccy in assessing the Czech constructions translated by the pluperfect was 38.5% (I managed to identify 77 out 200 examples found in the corpus). The examples found in the corpus were later classified according to the supposed reason for the use of the past perfect in the English translation, found in the Czech original. The groups were as follows: An adverbial or another lexical device contributing to specification of temporal relations (72 examples, 36%), Hypothetical past meaning (11 examples, 5.5%),...
