Three sides existed whose connection is solved in this thesis. First, it was the Prague Dependency Treebank 2.0, one of the most advanced treebanks in the linguistic world. Second, there existed a very limited but extremely intuitive search tool - Netgraph 1.0. Third, there were users longing for such a simple and intuitive tool that would be powerful enough to search in the Prague Dependency Treebank. In the thesis, we study the annotation of the Prague Dependency Treebank 2.0, especially on the tectogrammatical layer, which is by far the most complex layer of the treebank, and assemble a list of requirements on a query language that would allow searching for and studying all linguistic phenomena annotated in the treebank. We propose an extension to the query language of the existing search tool Netgraph 1.0 and show that the extended query language satisfies the list of requirements. We also show how all principal linguistic phenomena annotated in the treebank can be searched for with the query language. The proposed query language has also been implemented - we present the search tool as well and talk about the data format for the tool. An attached CD-ROM contains the installation of the tool.
