Spanish-English Bilingualism in the Context of California
Eisnerová, Tereza ; Mištinová, Anna (advisor) ; Binková, Simona (referee)
This Diploma thesis deals with the Spanish-English Bilingualism in the Context of California. It focuses on the theory of bilingualism in terms of linguistics, psycholinguistics and phenomena that occur in contact languages. Bilingualism is viewed from the complex perspective, so it is set in the context of reality in California. The thesis deals with social identity of Hispanic speakers and focuses on the causes of code - switching. It also presents demographic situation, language policy and its history, both in the context of California and the background of the legal framework and policies of the United States. The aim of this work is to create an overview of linguistic phenomena that occur in the situation of languages in contact and their characteristics, secondly to find arguments to demonstrate the advantages of bilingualism and general support and to determine the primary reasons why code - switching occurs.
State versus Violent Non-State Actors
Eisnerová, Tereza ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis is focusing on the problem of violent non-state actors and their relationship with a state. Firstly, a non-state actor is seen with the optics of the theories of international relations. Non state actors are classified in line with existing theoretical research about their behavior. Secondly, they are viewed from the perspective of international law. Furthermore, the thesis deals with a state and the options the state has for a combat against those violent non-state actors. Afterwards, four case studies are presented. They illustrate the behavior of state and non-state actors, each example represents one of the categories determined in the theoretical part of the thesis. The aim of the case studies is to categorize the instruments which might be used by the state against non-state actors and to systematize the violent non-state actor's classification as the theoretical research on this field is still being overlooked and is lacking coherence.
