The thesis deals with the verbal periphrases. We investigated the frequency of their use in contemporary Spanish literature- in prose. The thesis consists of three main parts. The first part examines the definition of auxiliary verbs, indefinite verb forms, passive, and aspect of Czech and Spanish linguists. We also examined how periphrases are presented in Czech and Spanish textbooks of the Spanish language. Another part deals with the classification of the periphrases and their characteristics accompanied by examples of the analyzed works of M. Delibes. The final part is devoted to compare the results of our work with results of two academic works.

Reading involves the dynamic construction of a mental model corresponding to the situation described in a text. This representation draws on the semantic and grammatical content of the text and also involves inferences for unstated information and the sequencing of events in time. In the current study, an eye-tracking methodology was used to explore the critical role of grammatical aspect in this process. The results showed that, following an event expressed in imperfective aspect, the reading of a necessarily later event was slowed compared to when the earlier event was expressed in perfective aspect. However, the effect depended on world knowledge—when the first event was typically of short duration, it did not evoke an "ongoing" interpretation to the same degree compared to when it was of long duration. The results highlight comprehenders' use of world knowledge and subtle grammatical cues in the representation of event information during on-line reading.

4 TITLE: Teaching aids for work with verbs of movement at elementary level in Russian language teaching SUMMARY: This diploma thesis deals with the topic of Russian verbs of movement. The aim of the thesis is to compile a comprehesive set of practical exercises and additional teaching materials (work sheets), which can be used as a supporting material in Russian language teaching. The set of practical exercises and additional teaching material is suitable for students at the age of thirteen years and above. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The teoretical part defines verbs of movement from a linguistic aspect and generally characterizes the didactic approaches to teaching foreign language grammar. Practical part includes a comprehensive set of practical exercises and additional teaching materials focused on a presentation and practice of selected verbs of movement. KEY TERMS: verbs of movement with prefix, verbs of movement without prefix, verb aspect, didactic approaches and principles, practical exercises, teaching aid, work sheet
