Empirical research is carried out in a cyclic way: approaching a research area bottom-up, data lead to interpretations and ideally to the abstraction of laws, on the basis of which a theory can be derived. Deductive research is based on a theory, on the basis of which hypotheses can be formulated and tested against the background of empirical data. Looking at the state-of-the-art in translation studies, either theories as well as models are designed or empirical data are collected and interpreted. However, the final step is still lacking: so far, empirical data has not lead to the formulation of theories or models, whereas existing theories and models have not yet been comprehensively tested...
The book of studies named Globalisation Trends in the Media contains an evaluation of the media culture in Slovakia. It deals with problems caused by globalisation and by the specific circumstances of media production. Whilst the post socialist states are, in many respects, in a similar situation, they each have their own specific attributes too. As this book features not only Slovak, but also Czech and Polish authors, the English reader will be able to gain an idea of the state of media production, and especially of the media culture, in Central Europe. The nature of media culture in Central Europe, when compared to that of countries situated further east, differs mainly in its inclination ...
The book specifies a corpus architecture, including annotation and querying techniques, and its implementation. The corpus architecture is developed for empirical studies of translations, and beyond those for the study of texts which are inter-lingually comparable, particularly texts of similar registers. The compiled corpus, CroCo, is a resource for research and is, with some copyright restrictions, accessible to other research projects. Most of the research was undertaken as part of a DFG-Project into linguistic properties of translations. Fundamentally, this research project was a corpus-based investigation into the language pair English-German. The long-term goal is a contribution to the...

A study of the film art that was still being produced behind the Iron Curtain, even during such repressive regimes as those of Stalin and Brezhnev. By means of detailed historiographical essays for each country, it provides a history of cinematic evolution in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
Autobiografie akademické malířky, přeživší holocaustu, Helgy Hoškové-Weissové je vpravdě fascinující čtení. Vzpomíná na své idylické dětství v předválečné Praze, na své rodiče, prarodiče a širší rodinu. Vypráví příběhy těch, kteří se již nikdy nevrátili z nacistických táborů a pochodů smrti. Kteří, stejně jako její tatínek, zahynuli neznámo kde. K válce samotné se vrací jen okrajově, celý svůj příběh vypověděla v knize Deník 1938–1945, který byl přeložen do mnoha světových jazyků a stal se součástí učebnic historie. Pro naše poznání poválečných osudů přeživších je klíčová druhá část knihy. Paní Hošk...
The most relevant and recent stress-related discoveries are presented in this volume, including functional anatomy, molecular genetics, developmental aspects, neural-endocrine-immune interactions, molecular imaging, and clinical aspects of stress-related disorders. Chapters by distinguished international basic and clinical scientists in the field of stress and neurotransmitters offer new insights into stress, stress-related disorders, and their future stressor-specific treatment. This volume encompasses a number of themes in several sections: (1) functional neuroanatomy of stress response; (2) brain monoamines and neuropeptides in stress; (3) molecular genetics of neurotransmitter enzymes in...
