Domesticated animals in Czech similes
Chmelíková, Anna ; Kováříková, Dominika (advisor) ; Bozděchová, Ivana (referee)
(in English): The subject of this bachelor thesis is Czech similes, which contain lexems identifying domestic animals and whose comparator is a conjuction such as. The aim of the work is to search for a list of similes and to describe the frequency features of the searched for idioms, as well as their variantity. The chosen method is the analysis of potential similes in the corpus SYN version 9, which is labelled by the frazeologically tool called FRANTA. The acquired similes of the most-frequented lemma dog are compared with data from dictionaries (Dictionary of Czech Phraseology and Idiomatics 1: Comparisons, Animal Names in Czech Phraseology and Idiomatics: Thematic phraseology dictionary I) and with spoken corpus (ORAL version 1, Ortofon version 2). The results of the analysis show a low incidence of similes in the corpus, and the percentage of comparisons is in the order of units. The comparison results did not reveal emerging similes.

Neologisms in Czech arising during the coronavirus epidemic 2020-2021
Akayev, Askar ; Škodová, Svatava (advisor) ; Bozděchová, Ivana (referee)
The undergraduate research considers neologisms taken from the Internet dictionary Čeština 2.0 which is available online. The topic of neologisms has been and will be relevant as development of technology, science, society, culture and in connection with the spread of the coronavirus pandemic in our case. In two years the Czech lexicon has been replenished with new lexemes related to the coronavirus and here we can note the creative approach to their formation. The purpose of this research is to confirm the independence of the korona lexeme and to find the most commonly used word-formation technique in the classification of lexemes. We also would like to show that the lexical part (morpheme) koro can potentially behave as a prefixoid. The theoretical part of the undergraduate research includes the definition of lexical terms used in this study, the establishment of their criteria and the definition of stylistic factors. The practical part examines the evolution of the meaning of the lexeme coronavirus and the word-formation classification of lexemes describing the coronavirus epidemic. We will return to this study of neologisms in the future because in a few years this research will allow us to conclude which of the observed lexemes survived and became neologisms and which on the contrary were...

In the theoretical part the thesis describes, analyses, compares and partially evaluates the concept of interjections in some Czech grammar and dictionary-type manuals. The thesis is focused on the definition and classification of interjections in the case of grammar and also reflects the problematic boundary between interjections and other word classes, especially particles. In the case of dictionaries, the thesis focuses on the grasp and processing of interjections as dictionary entries. The practical part of thesis is devoted to exploring the use of interjections in various types of written texts (professional, non-fictional, journalistic, fictional and written dialogical texts on the Internet) and dialogical spoken speech (excerpts from the Czech national corpus, TV discussions, talk shows and normally spoken language).

Kovařík, Tadeáš ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Bozděchová, Ivana (referee)
The submitted Master's thesis deals with the linguistic picture of the human body and its parts in proverbs, which are listed in Václav Flajšhans's dictionary Česká přísloví (Czech proverbs). The material is processed using approaches and methodological tools of cognitive linguistics and ethnolinguistics. First of all the theoretical and methodological framework of the thesis is outlined, these are in particular approaches of cognitive linguistics and ethnolinguistics to language and the theory of linguistic picture of the world. These methods are then used to analyse the linguistic picture of human body and its parts in Czech, as arises from proverbs. Then the research paremiological context is defined and possible approaches to proverbs are characterized. The proverb is then defined using specialized literature. Individual chapters that focus on parts of human body present meanings of somatic idioms that are explained with help of monolingual dictionaries. Also there are lists of the most common collocations and idioms in which these somatic idioms occur. The linguistic picture of the human body and its parts in the Czech language picture of the world is then worked out on the basis of the analysed proverbs. These proverbs are used to present linguistic pictures of the sense of sight and hearing...

The development of Andrej Babiš's Czech from a second-language acquisition viewpoint
Benešovský, Vít ; Valková, Jarmila (advisor) ; Bozděchová, Ivana (referee)
This thesis deals with the develompent of Andrej Babiš's Czech. Babiš is a Slovak politician and businessman, who lives in the Czech Republic and whose speeches and media appearances have been part of Czech public discourse for the past few years. The aim of this thesis is to describe how Babiš's language changes over time and how Slovak interference influences it. Hypotheses focus on the number of errors in Babiš's speech, the specific types of errors he makes and the interlingual / intralingual error ratio. The theoretical part of the thesis introduces basic second-language acquisition terminology, which is later used in the practical part. The practical part consists mainly of an error analysis of recordings of interviews with Babiš. Lexical, syntactic, morphological, phonetic, phonological and other differences between Czech and Slovak, which are the source of negative language transfer in Babiš's Czech, are also described. The conclusion shows how parameters of the politician's speech changed over six years and offers an explanation of the change.

Opposition "homo - animal" in language. Contribution to the Czech linguistic picture of the world
Šťastná, Lucie ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Bozděchová, Ivana (referee)
This diploma thesis aims to contribute to the research of the Czech language picture of the world. It is based on fundamental theoretical and methodological resources of cognitive and cultural linguistics and focuses on the opposition of "man - animal", or "human - animal", in the Czech language, aiming to illustrate the way in which zooappellatives (animal names) relate to the reality of the human world. The most extensive part of the thesis is based mainly on an analysis of Czech dictionary material (etymological, reference, synonym and phraseological dictionaries), as well as comparing the scientific (biological) classification of animals to the categorization in natural language. In regard to the category ANIMAL, the thesis establishes four basic domains constituting the category's conceptual model (framework): "the place where the animal lives", "physical traits", "the animal's behaviour" and "relation to man". The thesis also includes questionnaire-based research that focuses on analysing the way in which speakers of the Czech language understand the category ANIMAL, and attempts to determine whether they regard some animals as more protypical than others.
