Style of science and technology - characteristic features
Kárník, Denis ; Smutný, Milan (oponent) ; Krhutová, Milena (vedoucí práce)
This thesis deals with the characteristics of the style of science and technology in English. It identifies the original combination of features used in this style. The individual features are consequently divided into six relevant categories. These categories are labeled as communicative intention, extralinguistic, graphical, graphological, lexical, and syntactic features. Furthermore, the features in the respective categories are listed, and the reason for their use in the science and technology style is described. These texts were analyzed, and several extracts were always chosen. Subsequently, these extracts were categorized according to their features, and the features were again described. The last part of the thesis shows the contrast between this style and other styles. This work can serve as a template when writing scientific texts; it will help to follow the norms of this style and can result in avoiding common mistakes.

Functions of Passive Voice Structures in Various Genres of ESP compared with Czech Language Use.
Zemánek, Dominik ; Ellederová, Eva (oponent) ; Baumgartnerová, Alena (vedoucí práce)
This thesis characterizes passive voice structures and their formation, meaning, usage, and functions based on the research of related literature. With its inherent change of word order, the passive voice provides writers with more options of text organization and enables them to emphasize some words while omitting others. Especially in scientific and administrative style, this can help direct readers’ attention to the subject matter, making the text impersonal and objective. The respective aspects of passive structures are described in terms of grammar, semantics, stylistics, and translation, and their use in Czech is also explained and contrasted with English. Subsequently, English for specific purposes is characterized, and finally, the frequency and functions of passives are analyzed in technical texts of three different genres. This serves to confirm and illustrate the differences between the genres and languages, as each English text is also compared with a similar Czech one.

Typical features and genres in English for Specific Purposes.
Behancová, Katarína ; Krhutová, Milena (oponent) ; Baumgartnerová, Alena (vedoucí práce)
In the 21 century, it is possible to speak about enormous growth of people using English daily in their lives. English has become a language used in the global sphere and it is used in all fields of interests including science, technology, economics, law or medicine. Each of this field has developed its own “branch” of English language with its specific features and genres. Although each of these fields of scientific style is completely different, the aim of this bachelor thesis is to investigate them and identify their typical genres, specific features and diversities among them, using texts from specialised books and journals.

Translation of sociological texts with a commentary.
DOLEJŠÍ, Kristýna
Cílem této diplomové práce je překlad a analýza vědeckého textu z oblasti sociologie. V teoretické části práce jsou nastíněny základní pojmy teorie překladu, role překladatele, překladatelské typy a metody, které jsou pro zhotovení překladu důležité. V neposlední řadě jsou zkoumány charakteristické rysy odborného stylu jak ve zdrojovém jazyce (němčina), tak kontrastivně i v jazyce cílovém (čeština). Část praktická sestává především ze samotného překladu delšího textu z oblasti sociologie, který dosud v češtině nevyšel, a analýzy překladu, která upozorňuje na různá úskalí při překladatelské práci s odborným jazykem, komentuje problematická místa z pohledu lexikální a morfosyntaktické roviny a navrhuje různé způsobu jejich řešení. Součástí práce je rovněž německo-český glosář složený z odborných sociologických termínů a výrazů, které jsou pro text stěžejní.
