Koláříková, Marie ; Vodrážková, Lenka (advisor) ; Bok, Václav (referee)
(in English) Present dissertation deals with historical-linguistic analysis of the eighteen German written documents in interval of the years 1364 - 1517, that are divided into two six royal and twelve municipal documents, whose contents is connected with the town Loket. The first part of the work is specialized in general introduction of the condition of research in this field of history, diplomatic materials of the town, history of the town and the issues of chanceries. The second part is based on documentary materials and it incorporated the analysis of macro and micro- structure. The macro-structure analysis is based on, according to using formulae, model structure of analysed documents, that is consequently used as a starting structure for analysis of micro-structure. Micro-structure analysis provides the way, which the linguistic means are in particular parts formulated. From results of my work is evident, that the structure of the documents keeps the reliable example that is a bit different from initial structure. Structure of the royal documents shows, in contrary to the municipal documents, bigger stability both in arrangement and using formulae as well as their language formulations.
