This interdisciplinary work which draws on translation studies, semiotics, aesthetics, literary and film science deals with intersemiotic translation. The thesis will attempt to describe, explain and classify this kind of translation within the current translation theory and apply this knowledge to a specific translational situation. This situation is a comparison of an interlingual translation from English into Czech and an intersemiotic translation, which is the film adaptation of the novel. The theoretical starting point of this work is in particular the work of Anton Popovič, followed by Roman Jakobson, Jan Mukařovský, Jiří Levý and Patrick Cattrysse (see bibliography).According to Anton Popovič's theory, literary work and film adaptation can be described as two types of metatext. Semiotically, these metatexts consist of content (story) and form (expression). In the product of translation, shifts can be found at both of these levels and they serve as a source for an in-depth analysis. This thesis does not aim to evaluate but to describe the shifts in the intersemiotic and interlingual translation. The main hypothesis whose validity is supposed to be verified in this work is the assumption that some shifts are common to both types of transfer while others occur only within one of them....

Avsikten med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken funktion mat har i romantrilogin Hungerspelen samt vilket budskap som därmed förmedlas genom maten som symbol. Med hjälp av Hans Biedermanns Symbollexikonet tokas de olika råvaror som förekommer i maten i Hungerspelen för att därefter analyseras med hjälp av teorier från Umberto Eco och Roman Jakobson. UNdersökningen viasr att maten används för att symbolisera flera olika relationer eller identiteter, inte sällan med sexuella undertomer. Flera av råvarorna har också metalingvistiska funktioner och kan därmed sägas skapa bilder i bilden. De budskap som förmedlas genom maten är främst ett ifrågasättande av ung kvinnlighet och vad det innebär samt vad en uppdelnig i vi och dem kan leda till.

Al criticar la noción jakobsoniana de “función poética” en tanto elemento determinante de la poeticidad de un texto, Eugenio Coseriu se refiere a la métrica con un símil. Dice que esta y todos los fenómenos que la antigua retórica agrupaba bajo el término “númerus” cumplen, en la obra poética, la misma función que el marco en un cuadro. El presente artículo, aun aceptando las críticas de Coseriu a las ideas de Roman Jakobson, argumenta que la comparación de Coseriu resulta inapropiada para explicar el estatus del plano sonoro en la poesía. La aclaración sirve para especificar la función de este plano en la construcción del sentido a partir de la poesía y para precisar la idea del signo estético, planteada por la glosemática de Louis Hjelmslev y Sven Johansen, y adoptada —con modificaciones— porEugenio Coseriu y Jürgen Trabant.

Esta pesquisa consiste na tradução do Canto VI do poema didático-filosófico De rerum natura, do poeta latino Lucrécio (séc. I a.C.) e na análise de três fragmentos do canto, segundo o conceito de função poética de Roman Jakobson, o mais importante linguista do Formalismo Russo. Esta epopeia romana trata da natureza, composta toda de átomos e de vazio, segundo a doutrina do filósofo grego Epicuro (séc. III a. C.). A filosofia epicurista da natureza, sua física, tinha uma particularidade especial, o atomismo, conceito materialista que tem no De rerum natura a sua maior e melhor fonte. Assim, foi feito um apanhado sobre a vida e obra do poeta, de acordo com historiadores da literatura latina e com alguns especialistas sobre o poeta. Em seguida, elencamos os pontos importantes da trajetória científica de Jakobson e suas pesquisas intimamente relacionadas com o conceito de função poética: a fonologia, as pesquisas sobre afasia infantil (donde deriva sua revisão da metáfora e da metonímia) e sobre as funções da linguagem. Com isso, temos o conceito de função poética, seus tópicos mais importantes e exemplos de estudos de Jakobson sobre poemas de Dante, Edgar Allan Poe e Charles Baudelaire. Finalmente, são analisados fragmentos dos tópicos De tonitru (O trovão) e De fulgure (O relâmpago), seguidos da tradução em versos do Canto VI. / This research consists in the translation of Book VI of the philosophical didactic poem De rerum natura, by the Latin poet Lucretius (I century BC), and the analysis of three fragments from it, according to the concept of poetic function of Roman Jakobson, the most important linguist of Russian Formalism. This Roman epic deals with nature, all composed of atoms and empty, according to the doctrine of the Greek philosopher Epicurus (III century C). The Epicurean philosophy of nature, its physics, had a especial particularity. Atomism, a materialistic theorie that had in De rerum natura its biggest and best source. Thus, the dissertation offers a survey of the life and work of the poet according mainly to historians of Latin literature and experts of this poet. Then, we list the important points of Jakobsons scientific trajectory and the aspects of research wich are closely related to the concept of poetic function: phonology, his research on childrens aphasia and on language functions. We deal with the concept of poetic function, its most important topics and some examples of Jakobsons studies on poems by Dante, Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Baudelaire. Finally, we analyse fragments of the passages De tonitru (Thunder) and De fulgure (Lightning), followed by a poetic translation of Canto VI.

What happens when one moves about in the city? In this essay I will explore how we through our movements create our own temporal cities. I base my investigation on Michel de Certeau's theories from his book The Practice of Everyday Life vol 1. De Certeau believes that by just walking in the city – a mostly unconscious and for many trivial activity – you write it, creating different types of spaces that can be understood using linguistic terms. In my essay, I develop de Certeau's theories about ordinary activities by applying them to two less ordinary – and between themselves quite different – spatial practices:  fare evasion on public transportation (plankning) and the urban activity of parkour. I also carry out a linguistic analysis of both parkour, fare evasion and walking, using the linguist Roman Jakobson's theory on the act of speaking together with de Certeau's theory on the rhetoric of walking. In my concluding discussion, I outline a theory regarding how these different spatial practices come together in the city and form a multiplicity of ever-changing spatial stories. I also discuss what one can say that this actually means, both practically and theoretically speaking.

in English The aim of this diploma thesis is to compare novels by Elfriede Jelinek, Ingeborg Bachmann, and Thomas Bernhard on the grounds of each authors' different understanding of language and its limits. The first part is concerned with what I found typical of the novels: Bachmann's Malina (1971) describes and represents the search for (non-violent) language, Jelinek's The Piano Teacher (1983) makes use of violent language as a weapon against violence, and Bernhard's novels problematize the question of truth and objectivity by means of first-person narrators and nested testimonies. The second part uses Roman Jakobson's theory of language as a combination of metaphor and metonymy and shows the ways in which novels can emphasize one or the other pole and what it tells about the language as a whole. Especially in the case of the texts by Bachmann and Jelinek, the important methodological models for his paper are feminist theories: theories of language and means of expression (Drucilla Cornell, John Berger), theories of cultural conditionality of the body (Simone de Beauvoir, Iris Marion Young) and feminist texts which connect body and language (Beatrice Hanssen). On the contrary, in the novels and for their analysis, the approaches that allow for gender essentialism (Luce Irigaray) prove to be...
