This work in the field of the translation theory, extending to the translation practice, focuses on exploring literary terms and techniques, that participate in the construction and poeticisation of the literary text. Very often these terms make problems in the process of translation text from one language to another. The aim is localizing (with regard to its contextual involvement), analysis and subsequent selection of the most appropriate translation solutions of these terms. The work focuses on the translation of these literary devices not only in plan of Slavic languages (Russian, Czech, Slovak), but also takes into account the aspect of non-Slavic languages (English).

This work includes brief overview of the theory behind two-dimentional languages which was the main theme examined in previous work. Based upon this theory there are next chapters introducing a new concept of three-dimentional and multi-dimentional languages. For each type of language there is a definition of corresponding type of strings and string operations. Finally, for each type of language there are definitions of developed formal gramatics and automata. Along with theory, in work there is an demonstration of developed program, which provides simulation of introduced multidimensional automata.

The aim of this thesis is to research how the functional paradigm can be used for hardware acceleration with an emphasis on data-parallel tasks. The level of abstraction of the traditional hardware description languages, such as VHDL or Verilog, is becoming to low. High-level languages from the domains of software development and modeling, such as C/C++, SystemC or MATLAB, are experiencing a boom for hardware description on the algorithmic or behavioral level. Functional Languages are not so commonly used, but they outperform imperative languages in verification, the ability to capture inherent paralellism and the compactness of code. Data-parallel task are often accelerated on FPGAs, GPUs and multicore processors. In this thesis, we use a library for general-purpose GPU programs called Accelerate and extend it to produce VHDL. Accelerate is a domain-specific language embedded into Haskell with a backend for the NVIDIA CUDA platform. We use the language and its frontend, and create a new backend for high-level synthesis of circuits in VHDL.

The master's thesis deals with design of a dynamic reflective prototype-based language. First, basic principles of this language group are explained and well known representatives are described. Then languages for scientific computing are shortly discussed. Next section of the thesis describes in detail the proposed programming language, its grammar and semantics. Principles of type checking and inheritance are explained. Thesis also demonstrates implementation of basic control structures known from other languages. Next section shows design of virtual machine for the language described before. Section explains used computational model, organization of the object memory and internal representation of important structures of the designed language. Finally, dynamic type checking, compiler and compilation of typical structures to the virtual machine internal code are discussed.

This thesis evaluates the translation quality of phrase-based machine translation system. It explains the translation error annotation scheme to manually annotate errors related to English to Urdu translation system. The primary goal of the thesis is to experiment with different heuristic in order to improve the translation quality based on through manual analysis of 200 test sentences. Different hueristics such as (1) pre-processing of input English, such as word reordering, (2) preprocessing the training corpus in order to improve word alignment, (3) using additional factors (in Moses factored translation) to better model target-side morphological coherence are applied and their impact on the translation quality is evaluated.

This diploma thesis is focused on teaching English to dyslexic children, especially on the application of a special computer programme designed for dyslexic pupils, called Languages without Barriers. The aim of the theoretical part was to give a report on who dyslexic pupils are, what textbooks and other special materials that encourage dyslexic children are available in the Czech Republic and to outline the way dyslexic pupils should be approached in English lessons. The aim of the practical part was to look briefly into the current situation of teaching English to dyslexic children in the Czech Republic and find out whether Czech teachers have enough information on how to approach such pupils. The main aim of this part was to focus on the special computer programme Languages without Barriers. This diploma thesis aimed to find the optimal application of this programme. To accomplish this task a research was carried out. The programme was introduced to three lower secondary schools in Prague, where it was applied in several English lessons and later at home to help children prepare for their English lessons. The research was based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative analyses. The research shows that Languages without Barriers is a useful programme for dyslexic pupils as well as for...

The thesis concentrates on Latin influence on North Germanic languages, especially on Norwegian. First part deals with this topic from sociolinguistic point of view: relationship between Latin and domestic languages in Middle Ages, discerning contexts, where Latin was used, emphasizing the role of church, schools and literature. Second part concentrates on concrete examples of Latin influence, persisting to the modern times, especially loanwords, prefixes and suffixes, irregular declension, idioms. Original research concentrates on Norwegian letters from Middle Age, in Diplomatarium Norwegicum. Research about numbers of Latin letters and letters in domestic language, according to topic and time, in comparison with similar informations from Denmark and Sweden.

There are dozens of formalisms specialized programming intelligent virtual agents (IVA). However, there is lack of an evaluation, which would provide the designer of a new agent with an overview of their usability in real-world applications. The goal of this study was evaluation of selected formalisms in order to identify their shortcomings and suggesting improvements. These improvements would allow the designer more accurate control of the IVA's behavior. Evaluation of formalisms was designed based on real-world scenarios and their implementation in different formalisms using the platform Pogamut 3. One of the formalisms is Jason (AgentSpeak language interpreter) and it was connected to that platform as a part of this thesis. During the implementation of the scenarios were identified some problems which make creating the behavior of intelligent virtual agents harder. For these problems was proposed solution in the form of action selection mechanism (ASM) prototype and the basic methodology for designing agents with this ASM. The results of this study could be a starting point for more advanced action selection mechanism, which would allows more precise control of the behavior of intelligent virtual agents.

The thesis researches the ability of use of Python programming language in the field of high school education and uses qualitative and quantitative methods of research and finds Python suitable. The thesis also brings theoretical analysis of the Python language, including practical exams in the form of sample programs. It researchs even other programming languages used in education and their suitability for this purpose and compares them with Python programming language. It also finds two most common used programming languages at high schools, which are Pascal / Object Pascal and Java.
