Language analysis of the selected texts of the Pinvicka collection
Klubalová, Jana ; Šmejkalová, Martina (advisor) ; Palkosková, Olga (referee)
This thesis deals with the language analysis of the Tandarias poem published as a part of Pinvicka collection which was written in the 2nd half of 15th century by Jan Pinvicka z Domazlic. The attention is paid to the description of ortography and all language dimensions. The main aim of this thesis is to describe the language statement of the relic and evaluate the influence of the previous versions of theTandarias poem on the examined version published in Pinvicka collection. We found out that it is not possible to give an evidence that the examined poem is significantly influenced by the language usus of the 14th century when this subject was translated to Czech. But we claim that some of the language phenomena refering to older language usus can be explained with the personal language manner of author. Nevertheless the influence of the original German writing is obvious in the lexical dimension. The addressing of the writing to the bourgeoisie and other lower social classes is supported with the tendency of the language of the text to approach to the spoken form of language.

František Trávníček, his personality and works ( with a particular focus on his linguisticmethodological activities )
Doležalová, Eliška ; Šmejkalová, Martina (advisor) ; Hájková, Eva (referee)
Résumé This thesis deals with the personality and also with the work of Frantisek Travnicek, an important Czech linguist living between the years 1888 and 1961. Firstly, his life is briefly outlined, secondly this personality is introduced as an influential linguist of Czech Studies, as well as a long-time university official and teacher. His post-war political activities in the Communist Party are also mentioned. The thesis is focused on the works of Travnicek with a particular respect to his linguodidactic activities. One part is dedicated to his scientific writings and takes the cultural and historical context into account. This part summarises his considerably extensive and thematically varied work. Five essential areas of linguistics were defined (grammar, historical grammar, phonetics, phonology, word-formation and dialectology) which were much enriched by Travnicek. Nevertheless, there is a mention of some work which is of the kind that is impossible to label with any category listed, or the work which is represented in each category just by several writings. Finally, the influence on Travnicek's scientific activity is touched upon. The last and crucial part of the thesis tackles Travnicek's linguodidactic activities with respect to the context of the particular period. Concerning the topics of the...

Differences in communication between men and women
Kuželová, Markéta ; Chejnová, Pavla (advisor) ; Šmejkalová, Martina (referee)
The topic of the thesis is to monitor differences in communication between men and women. The theoretical part summarizes the information about communication in general and outlines the differences in communication between men and women. The empirical part is based on interview. We examine possible differences of verbal communication between men and women with university education. Following characteristics were examined: formality, expressions, vulgar, addressing, topics, and the role in communication and interruptions. The results provide information about relatively specific differences in verbal communication between men and women. It was found that men use significantly more technical terms, use more vulgar words, while women choose such expressions exeptionally. Men do not interrupt the other speaker, women interrupt in more than 50% cases.. The results confirm previously published findings on this topic.

Ortography and lexis of a journey from Prague to Venice... Book of travels by Oldřich Prefát of Vlkanov
Kafka, Jan ; Mališ, Otakar (advisor) ; Šmejkalová, Martina (referee)
In dieser Diplomarbeit versuchte ich die Ortographie und das Vokabular der von Oldřich Prefát von Vlkanov verfassten Reisebeschreibung detailliert zu qualifizieren und dadurch das bisherige nur peripherische Interesse der Forscher ftir die sprachliche Form dieses Werkes zu überwinden. In der Einleitung handelte ich unter anderem die interessante Persönlichkeit dieses böhmisches Humanisten im allgemeinen ab. Seine exakte Neigung ist ebenfalls der Prinzip der g anzen Reisebeschreibung. A ußerdem schrieb i ch dort über seine Reise nach heiligem Land und über derzeitige Zustände in diesem Gebiet, weil die Kenntnis der sprachlichen und kulturellen Bedingungen in Palestina und der ganzen Mittelmeer-Region in der Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts der richtigen Auffassung von verschiedenen Niveaus des Vokabulars von diesem Text sehr gut dient. Das Erste von den zwei Hauptthemen ist die Ortographie in der e rsten A uflage der Reisebeschreibung aus dem Jahre 1563. Diese Ortographie spiegelt sich im wesentlichen auch in der dritte Auflage von der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die kunstsinnige und dokumentarische Qualität der graphischen Form in der ersten Auflage liegt stellenweise sehr hoch. An der anderen Seite gibt es dort viele Druckfehler. Der Schwerpunkt des Ortographie g ewidmeten T eils der Diplomarbeit liegt in einer...
