| Summary: | This thesis strives to survey the category of aspectuality in Japanese. In the beginning the general definition of aspectuality is presented and consequently applied in the language context of Japanese. In respective chapters the thesis describes individual levels of expressing aspectual meaning. It provides a detail study in the categories of grammatical tense, aspect and modality and in their means in Japanese. The aim of the thesis is to show that in Japanese, although it does not assign a separate grammatical category of aspect as Czech language does, the aspectual meanings are being expressed, even if using different linguistic means than those used in Czech. The thesis contains many examples from the current language usage.
