New Method of the Optical Record and Reproduction of the 16mm Film Sound-Track
Vacula, Richard ; Neubauer, Petr (referee) ; Wilfert, Otakar (advisor)
The work deals with the recording and reproduction of sound tracks on 16mm film and with old forgotten film optic sound technologies, as well as plans experiments and research, which examines possible methods for reading and writing tracks using modern optoelectronic devices. The final output is intended to drive the writing negative audio (analog and digital) on the photosensitive material and design of the device for synchronous playback of digital audio tracks from an external memory card. The work is done in collaboration with film laboratories Barrandov Studio a.s. and Meopta-Optika, spol. s r.o.

The Gaulish and its prints in French
Frantalová, Anna ; Blažek, Václav (advisor) ; Vacula, Richard (referee)

Cajun French: mirror of the past, of the present and of the future
Bednárová, Jana ; Vacula, Richard (advisor) ; Štichauer, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis seeks to give an overall image concerning the linguistic situation of Cajun French of Louisiana. This regional variant of French is spoken by a minority group of speakers in this state. Given that the paper was created in the Czech academic community where Cajun French is virtually unknown, it tries to spark more interest in this topic. The first chapter presents the theoretical input to the outlined problem and Czech works dealing with Cajun French. The second chapter shows the basic facts about Louisiana, as well as the key events in its history. It examines the creation of Cajun French and characterizes its specific features. It also includes a mention of Cajun French reference books. The third chapter examines the legal status of the French language in Louisiana. Furthermore, the work sheds light on its French language policy, carried out mainly by a state agency called CODOFIL (the abbreviation comes from Council for the Development of French in Louisiana).The thesis later explains what the adherence to Francophonie would mean for this state. This is followed by an account of the relations entertained with Francophonie. The thesis later outlines the current linguistic situation and describes the possibilities of studying French in Louisiana.The presence of French on signage and in...

Reconstruction of the phonological system of contemporary Polish language with an accent on the vocalic system
Vacula, Richard ; Balowski, Mieczyslaw (advisor) ; Rusin Dybalska, Renata (referee)
Polish is a language with a prevailing consonantism. Its vocalic system has been relatively stable. It has been characteristic by an oral and a two-vowels nasal subsystems. It also missed the diphthongs (except a small number of foreign expressions and some vocalic structures with the glide Ij/ which however haven't been considered as diphthongs). The new diphthongs or diphthongoids can be created in in two or three diffrent ways. Oral diphthongs are made from the connection of a vowel with an etymological dental ly (I) owing to the progressive vocalisation ofthis lateralliquid into the glide Iw/. Nasal diphthongs are the continuants of either the primitive nasal vowels or the structures oral vowel + nasal consonant, in the both cases before aspirante. The glide Iwl originates in a Proto-Slavonic non-palatalised /ll, which has changed during its evolution into a dental ly (I) with labialisation and has been progressively vocalised after the decline ofthe functional correlation with the "soft" lPI. That change regards almost the whole polish territory today. However, the phoneme Iwl can appear not only in diphthong structures but also in some other positions (in neamess ofthe consonants). This phonotactic distribution distinguishes it from the other Polish glide Ij/ and in the same time assimilates it into...

Didactic Use of Authentic Text in the Teaching of French
Uhrová Kubešová, Lenka ; Loucká, Hana (advisor) ; Vacula, Richard (referee)
Authentic documents have been an integral part of foreign language teaching since the 1970s. The aim of this master's thesis is to present the theoretical background of the didactic use of authentic documents in the teaching of French. This is comprised of the classification of documents, criteria for their selection, as well as their benefits toward developping communicative and general competencies. This paper includes an analysis of selected French textbooks and suggestions of authentic documents to be used in the teaching of French as well as documents on the Internet.

Some aspects of language and ethnic identity of indigenous inhabitants of Provence
Vacula, Richard ; Štichauer, Jaroslav (advisor)
V současné době jsme svědky nebývalého vzestupu zájmu o otázky, související s problematikou národní, resp. etnické či regionální identity. Někteří badatelé v oblasti antropologie hovoří o podzimu národů, analogicky podle jara národů, tj. období prudkého vzrůstu národnostního cítění a emancipačního hnutí menšinových etnik v Evropě 19. století. Český sociolog Jan Keller dává tento současný fenomén do přímé souvislosti s globalizací způsobu života na přelomu 20. a 21. století: Oživené národnostní cítění je formou potvrzení skupinové identity jako reakce na pocit ztráty jedinečnosti ve světě, který se stále více uniformizuje. Tím lze zároveň vysvětlit, proč mají tyto tendence na počátku 21. století daleko větší rozsah- zdaleka se totiž neomezují pouze na Evropua občas i daleko nebezpečnější projevy, než ve století devatenáctém. Oživené národnostní cítění vede dnes nezřídka k nárůstu nezdravého nacionalizmu, který může mít ve svých krajních formách zhoubné následky - příkladem za všechny může sloužit oblast bývalé Federativní socialistické republiky Jugoslávie, kde po léta uměle potlačované národnostní problémy vedly ke zničujícímu válečnému konfliktu. Zneklidňující je však i nárůst obliby nacionálně, resp. nacionalisticky orientovaných politických stran v zemích o zdánlivě stabilním demokratickém systému, jako...

Phonetic Analysis of Anglicisms in French
Tomíčková, Markéta ; Duběda, Tomáš (advisor) ; Vacula, Richard (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to examine the integration of anglicisms into French from a phonetic point of view. The theoretical part deals with the delimitation of the term 'anglicism', its place in the French lexis, a comparison of the phonological systems of both languages and the regularities in phonetic adaptation of anglicisms in the target language. The practical part includes an analysis of the pronunciation of chosen anglicisms. It records variation in lexicographical works as well as in real speech and determines the degree of variability, based on recordings of native speakers. The thesis proceeds from the assumption that anglicisms were, are and will continue to be a highly relevant issue. In spite of all the measures aimed against their integration into the French lexis, they have their place in it, often in several pronunciation variants - whether due to the different inventory of phonemes or to sociolinguistic factors. KEY WORDS: anglicism, French, pronunciation, phonetic adaptation of loanwords
