Utilization of clays with low sintering temperature in brick technology
Sláma, Jakub ; Skotal, Zbyněk (referee) ; Sokolář, Radomír (advisor)
Bachelor thesis focuses on the use of the low sintering clays as additives in brickmaking. Their main use in the brick industry is mainly in the production of facing bricks and roof tiles. They are used for their very good sintering ability even at relatively lower firing temperatures. This feature is the most important for frost resistence of brick fragment. The theoretical part contains a summary and characteristic features of clays occurring in the Czech Republic and abroad. Further their requirements and laboratory testing of brick clay. In the practical part was conducted market research where are outlined available low sintering clays that may be proposed for use in brick fragment based on declared sintering. An experiment was performed in the next part of bachelor thesis to assess the effect of using low sintering clay in terms of particular brick factory in the Czech Republic (Tondach Šlapanice).

Connecting Footbridge
Sláma, Jakub ; Štrba, Michal (referee) ; Brosch, Petr (advisor)
The subject of this master’s thesis was desingn and assessments the connection of two buildings by footbridge corridor. The structure was designed as a lattice structure without verticals. Construction is stored on two pillars lattice design. Cladding footbridge was cosidered by glazing. Construction is freestanding and doesn’t load bordering adjacent buildings.

The rise in the productivity of the o'clock construction
Erazímová, Lucie ; Sláma, Jakub (advisor) ; Šaldová, Pavlína (referee)
The BA thesis zeroes in on the [non-numeral] o'clock construction, exemplified by instances such as beer o'clock or stupid o'clock, relying on the framework of Usage-based Construction Grammar. The central aim of the thesis is to reconstruct the semantic and syntactic development of the construction in recent years and to analyse the rise in the productivity. The theoretical part introduces the framework of Usage-based Construction Grammar and the terminology relevant for the analysis, such as type and token frequency, entrenchment, and productivity. The third chapter describes the distinct but related senses of o'clock according to English dictionaries and lays foundation for later attempts to construe a more precise explanation of the nature and the meaning of the [non-numeral] o'clock construction. The analysis of 329 examples, collected from COHA, COCA, BNC, and Twitter, focuses on the type-based, semantic, and grammatical productivity of items in the free slot of the [non- numeral] o'clock construction. Additional focus is given to the external syntax of the construction. The qualitative analysis outlines basic observations about the collective interaction between the semantic and grammatical properties of free-slot types and the external syntax, and further discusses their relevance to the...

Partial conversion of adjectives into nouns without the use of the
Viktorinová, Inka ; Sláma, Jakub (advisor) ; Šaldová, Pavlína (referee)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on a previously unacknowledged type of partial syntactic conversion of adjectives into nouns, which can be found in sentences such as I like normal or weird is cool. The theoretical section introduces the theoretical frame of construction grammar the thesis is based on, as well as the problematics of conversion, particularly partial conversion of adjectives into nouns. In addition, the theoretical section also discusses multiple possible ways of analyzing structures such as the rich and the obvious (i.e. the difference between partial conversion vs. ellipsis) and how to describe these structures in terms of construction grammar. The practical section is based on the InterCorp corpus, Spoken BNC2014 and COCA; the analysis draws upon a hundred and twenty examples of the construction in question. The analytical section of the thesis shall focus on the complex descriptions of the construction (and potentially its types) with regard to its formal, semantic and referential characteristics, as well as on the pragmatic and contextual aspects related to its practical usage. Key words: conversion, adjective, construction, Construction Grammar

Single uncomplemented adjectives available, responsible, and possible in pre-/post-head position
Petrechová, Sára ; Šaldová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Sláma, Jakub (referee)
The thesis is a qualitative corpus-based analysis focusing on three single uncomplemented adjectives, namely available, responsible and possible in their pre- and post-head position, and analysing features determining the two adjectival positions. The analysis is based on the syntactic and semantic properties proposed by Cinque (2010), which are applied to corpus examples with the intention of attesting or not these properties, namely deictic/generic meaning of adjectives, non- /restrictiveness, stage-/individual-level interpretation, and non-/specificity-inducing character of adjectives. The analysis also employs analyses from other theoretical studies by Bolinger (1952), James (1979) and a corpus-based study by Blöhdorn (2009). The abovementioned properties were attested as relevant in the examples of pre- and postmodifying available and responsible, while the adjective possible showed unclear results. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the quantification, reference, presupposition and semantic meaning play a significant role in determining the adjectival position. Key words: uncomplemented, adjective, adjectives, pre-head position, post-head position, premodification, postmodification, presupposition, quantification

Available and responsible as modifiers
Dudáková, Petra ; Šaldová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Sláma, Jakub (referee)
The objective of the thesis is to describe and compare the modifying uses of two adjectives which can appear both as premodifiers as well as bare postmodifiers, namely available and responsible. Both modifying positions are examined with respect to the textual environment, the complexity of noun phrases and adjective phrases in which the adjectives function, reference and other features in order to outline the patterns in which these two adjectives appear. The data for the analytical part have been extracted from the British National Corpus using the basic query and limiting the search to the written part of the corpus. After manual assessment of the initial samples of 500 concordance lines, 154 concordance lines containing the adjective available and 147 containing the adjective responsible proved to be suitable for the analysis. The final samples of the data are further categorized and analysed concerning the complexity of the noun phrase, premodification, postmodification and complementation of the adjectives, semantic preference of the head nouns, and the motivation for the pre- or postnominal placement of the modifiers. Key words: adjective, adjective phrase, premodification, postmodification, complementation, attributive function, predicative function, postpositive function, bare adjective,...

Variability in Rhoticity in Czech Speakers of English
Fischer, Ondřej ; Šturm, Pavel (advisor) ; Sláma, Jakub (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the description of contemporary Czech foreign accent in English by examining Czech learners' rhoticity, a substantial accent feature. Rhoticity is addressed both from a phonological and a phonetic perspective, and its variability under the influence of different factors is investigated. The theoretical part presents rhoticity and its various aspects in present day's accents of English, and its dimensions related to second language acquisition. The research part analyses rhoticity both in Czech university students of English, with respect to their accent-preferences, and in Czech non-students of English. The results show a distinct and consistent inclination to rhoticity in less proficient learners, a lower degree of consistency and dependence on accent models in students of English, a high capability of especially younger Czech learners to realise the rhotic contexts in a standard manner, and certain noticeable tendencies dependent on the critical /r/-phoneme's position in syllable. Key words: rhoticity, foreign accent, language transfer, L2 learner, accents of English, pronunciation model
