Infinitival Verb Phrases in English and Their Translations to Czech - A Contrastive Study of Non-finite Verb Phrases in English and Czech Fiction

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

One of the main differences between English and Czech resides in the fact that an English sentence is much more frequently condensed by means of nominal forms. Moreover, as it has been illustrated by recent research, it is an area where both the languages seem to be going through noticeable development resulting in the mentioned differences becoming even more significant. The paper presents results of a comparative study of infinitive verb phrases in English and their reflections in Czech translations. The most frequent functions of the infinite have been its function as an object and an infinitive of purpose. Other frequent functions included a postmodification of a noun or an adjective and an infinitive after a copula verb. The most tightly corresponding form of translation was that of the infinitive of purpose which in 70 percent of cases was translated as a subordinate adverbial clause of purpose
