Characteristic of ESP written communication
Kučera, Ondřej ; Walek, Agata (oponent) ; Baumgartnerová, Alena (vedoucí práce)
The goal of this bachelor thesis is to define what the English for Specific Purposes is, its styles and genres. This thesis is divided into three main parts. In the first part, ESP and its history briefly presented. The styles of ESP are brought up and their uses explained. In the second part I defined the genres of ESP, explained purpose of each and further division. In the third part, examples of the textbook and popular scientific article are extracted, presented, analyzed, and compared. The texts chosen for analysis are from the field of electrical engineering and medicine. The analysis and comparison are carried out in four categories: cohesion, deixis, signposting and hedging. Firstly, the styles in the same field are compared, and secondly the similarities and differences between the fields are presented. All the results are commented on.
Floating cities - intriguing concept or utopia (literary and information search study)
Kunzo, Dávid ; Walek, Agata (oponent) ; Sedláček, Pavel (vedoucí práce)
This thesis presents and explains the technologies associated with the construction and usage of floating cities, and related projects in South Korea, Singapore, and Japan. The next goal is to understand the potential impact of floating cities and coastal defences on the surrounding environment, and vice versa. With multiple projects such as Oceanix city and Green Float still in their early phase, it is necessary to consider whether the problems of coastal communities can be solved by such technologies, and if it is achievable at all, considering the financial circumstances, and possible limitations by used materials. Finally, by summing up the accessible information, the conclusion determines the reasons such structures are not a widely popular solution yet.
The language of EU legal documents
Rybakova, Alexandra ; Walek, Agata (oponent) ; Smutný, Milan (vedoucí práce)
In this thesis, I have described and analysed characteristic features of legal language of EU documents by using specific examples of EU regulations on science and technology. The use of specific, concrete examples in EU regulations on science and technology can be beneficial for understanding other regulations and similar legal documents. In this thesis, I have explained what special features there are in European Union legal documents and shown examples of such features.
Discourse analysis of language of tabloids
Gazdošová, Sára ; Walek, Agata (oponent) ; Langerová, Petra (vedoucí práce)
In this thesis, various levels of language analysis are described. Lexical, grammatical, and stylistic levels as well as aspects of language such as cohesion, coherence and context are included. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first, theoretical part, provides an overview of more general information concerning discourse analysis, mainly theoretical information with examples. The provided information is useful when analysing the language of tabloids themselves later. An insight into mass media’s history and its types is present. The second, practical part of the thesis, analyses the language of the online versions of tabloid newspapers Daily Mail and The Sun. Their appearance and layout are briefly described. Chosen aspects of each language analysis level are shown and explained on examples from the mentioned newspapers.
Intonation of Czech Speakers When Speaking English
Houšť, Vítězslav ; Baumgartnerová, Alena (oponent) ; Walek, Agata (vedoucí práce)
Intonation is frequently described as the movement of the pitch throughout a phrase, which assists the speaker in the vocal expression of their thoughts. The bachelor's thesis concerns the possible difficulties in intonation a Czech speaker may encounter when speaking English, as they can lead to a change of meaning of uttered words. The aim of the thesis is set to try and distinguish these difficulties by explaining the basic terms associated with intonation and their application on recordings of ten Czech speakers uttering eight English phrases, compared to recordings of the same eight phrases recorded by four native speakers.
Do alternative search engines comparable to Google exist?

The aim of this thesis is to understand how the search engine works and het acquainted with the history of Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo!. As Google is the most popular of the three, history, advertising and YouTube are also mentioned. Another important point is how Google’s search engine works. For a better understanding, the first part of this chapter describes how any search engine works. The second part depicts Google’s significant updates.

Persuasive Language Used in Presentations by Information Technology Students

Ambiguity, Vagueness, Fuzziness in Technical/Scientific Texts
Šafránek, Dominik ; Langerová, Petra (oponent) ; Walek, Agata (vedoucí práce)
Ambiguity, vagueness and fuzziness are essential tools of our language. Many papers have been published on this topic, but there still are difficulties with distinction between these cases. In this paper, I will give you definitions of these terms, and demonstrate them on examples, as well as provide syntactic tests to distinguish them. Fuzziness differs from ambiguity and vagueness, as it does not imply two or more meanings, but it has no clear-cut referential boundary, and cannot be resolved by giving a context, i.e. by clarifying the intended meaning. On the other hand, ambiguous expressions differ from vague expressions in that, they have two or more meanings that are not semantically related, but the vague expressions imply two or more meanings whose senses are closely – semantically – related. Ambiguity and vagueness both can be contextually resolved, i.e. unintended meanings can be eliminated. Although ambiguity, vagueness and fuzziness imply uncertainty in our language, they are used in scientific and technical texts. I will show you a part of a scientific research on ‘Inhibitory effects of different hand sanitizers against the resident microflora of skin’ and analyse the text, looking for ambiguous, vague or fuzzy expressions and their interference in the context and I will suggest solutions to reduce or avoid uncertainty in the text.
Dialects of English in computer games
Opanasiuk, Yevhenii ; Walek, Agata (oponent) ; Sučková, Magda (vedoucí práce)
This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of the English dialects that appear in video games. Its aim is to analyze the use of different dialects in the Grand Theft Auto game series. The theoretical part is focused on providing the necessary concepts related to sociolinguistics, varieties of the language, dialects, accents, and game industry. The practical part is focused on the linguistic analysis of the English dialects that appear in the GTA game series. This analysis identifies game characters' dialects from a grammatical and phonological perspective and explains the reasons that led game developers to choose those dialects.
