Dvořáková, Michaela ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (advisor) ; Šebesta, Karel (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on linguistic terminology used for language teaching. Terminology is analysed in Czech language textbooks published between the years 1945 and 1989. The theoretical part maps the situation of language teaching, textbooks, and linguistics in the analysed period. The last chapter is devoted to terminology. The practical part analyses terms used in chosen textbooks with a focus on the origin of the terms. The acquired data informs about the various textbook terminology used for different schools over the years. According to this thesis, linguistic terminology used in Czech language textbooks is basically uniform, differences arise only in the representation of international terms, which has increased over the years. The number of terms of sovereign origin was the highest in textbooks intended for selective schools. This conclusion is supported by the specific facts resulting from the textbook analyses. Key words: Czech language, secondary school textbooks, 20th century, linguistic terminology

Text messages and e-mails. Stylistic and pragmalinguistic analysis
Voňková, Karolina ; Šebesta, Karel (advisor) ; Mareš, Petr (referee)
My thesis deals with the subject of text messaging and e-mail from the point of view of stylistics and pragmatics and I view these phenomena as part of human communication, correspondence. At present, text messaging and e-mail are the most prevalent form of electronic communication and written correspondence as such. They mostly fulfill practical purposes, which are nevertheless substantially associated with the need of human contact. This work includes their general linguistic description, the stylistic problems it focuses on include the issues af spoken and written language, their characteristics from the point of view of monologue and dialogue, and it also touches upon other stylistic factors. The pragmatic aspect includes speech acts, the principles of verbal communicatian, self-stylization, politeness and misunderstanding. Text messages and e-mails have characteristic linguistic features -conciseness, more pronounced in case of SMS messages, carelessness, using emoticons and other devices in an effort to substitute verbal communication. In this type of electronic communication, the instrumental and phatic discourses are combined - phatic discourse is more frequent in text messages and vice versa. Higher and lower degree of spoken language features manifests here. It is higher in case of text messages....

Conditions of education in Czech for foreigners and the communicative competence of Vietnamese children in Czech
Beranová, Petra ; Šebesta, Karel (advisor) ; Macurová, Alena (referee)
Následující práce je sondou do světa cizincfi žijících na území České republiky, a to především z hlediska jej ich potýkání se s češtinou jako jazykem hostitelské země. Ukazujeme také postoj České republiky a jejích institucí (především škol a školských zařízení) k výuce češtiny jako cizího jazyka. Vzhledem ke vstupu naší země do Evropské unie lze předpokládat, že se počet cizinců přicházejících do Česka (ať už za prací, za vzděláním či z jiných dfivodfi) bude zvyšovat ještě rychleji než doposud. A s tímto fenoménem přichází také poptávka po výuce jazyka hostitelské země, tedy po výuce češtiny. Výuka češtiny však není pouze záležitostí jazykových škol, jak by se laikovi mohlo na první pohled zdát. Zasahuje do ní i legislativa, která upravuje možnosti cizinců získat alespoň elementární výuku češtiny ve státem garantovaných a finančně podporovaných kurzech. Česká legislativa však v této oblasti vychází spíše z tradičních postupů nežli z aktuální situace. Ve všech typech škol či kurzů nabízejících výuku češtiny by v ideálním případě měli vyučovat pedagogové, jejichž vzdělávání bylo na výuku češtiny jako cizího jazyka zaměřeno. V tomto směru se však české vysoké školství značně opozdilo za společenskou potřebou/poptávkou a obory zaměřené na didaktiku češtiny jako cizího jazyka jsou většinou teprve ve fázi...

Media impact on Czech language : (on example of using moved and not moved forms of women surnames)
Sehnalová, Lucie ; Šebesta, Karel (advisor) ; Kraus, Jiří (referee)
This diploma thesis is dealing with motion of surnames according to gender and their forms in Czech media. In the beginning the formation of surnames is described; chapters considering the grammar rules shows not only how to move surnames, but also how to declension surnames and integrate them into the text. In the diploma thesis I tried to mention standard surnames as well as those surnames which can cause problems while we embody them into Czech texts. To found out how to correctly integrate surnames into the Czech language and if Czech media adhere to the rules was the goal of my diploma thesis. Motion of surnames according to the gender is considered to be very controversial and questionable, and that is why contradictory arguments and comments are added to the chapters which are dealing with this problem. Language is influenced by media majorly. That was the reason I made a research to found out how our media use Czech women surnames in the second part of this work. As I have noticed, different newspapers and magazines have differend approaches to motion of surnames and the rules should be regularized and consolidated according to my opinion. For the researched media it is possible to use this part of my work and the deductions I made in their redaction codexes. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Work with text (read skill) in selected textbooks of Czech language
Herberková, Kateřina ; Šebesta, Karel (advisor) ; Pacovská, Jasňa (referee)
V naší práci se budeme zabývat otázkou, jak učebnice češtiny pro základní a střední školy přispívají k rozvíjení čtenářské gramotnosti našich žáků. Nejprve se zaměříme na vlastní pojem čtenářské gramotnosti, jak ho nahlíží některé instituce a autoři, poté se podíváme na několik významných srovnávacích výzkumů, které byly v této oblasti podniknuty. Na tomto základě a na základě didaktické literatury zformulujeme, jaké znalosti a dovednosti čtenářskou gramotnost zakládají a jakým způsobem by je mohlo vyučování mateřskému jazyku rozvíjet. Tyto poznatky pak budeme konfrontovat s výsledky analýzy vybraných učebnic českého jazyka.
