Phraseologisms in Austrian Journalistic Texts
Blahynková, Veronika ; Zeman, Dalibor (advisor) ; Poimer, Christiane (referee)
The subject of this bachelor thesis is phraseologisms in Austrian journalistic texts. For the purposes of this thesis two dailies Der Standard and Österreich were chosen and the phraseologisms in them were studied for three weeks. However, not all phraseologisms were examined, but only those which appeared in both dailies in columns concerning domestic and international news. The objective is to compare the use of phraseologisms in these newspapers. This study sought to determine, if there are any tendencies to use the same phraseologisms to cover the same subjects or if certain phraseologisms tend to appear in similar columns. Furthermore, the phraseologism were analysed on the basis of the classifications of two prominent German linguists. The classifications are mentioned in the introductory part of the thesis.

The objective of the theoretical part is to explain on the basis of scholarly literature basic terms such as light verb construction (LVC), function verb and full verb. After that light verb constructions are also distinguished by syntactic and semantic criteria, which specify the rules for usage of light verb constructions in practice. The individual rules are shown on example sentences. The objective of practical part is to analyze and compare usage of light verb constructions in German journalistic texts (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Bild) using tables as well as graph sands identify from semantic view point which types of light verb constructions were in texts most often. On the basis of this observation it was found out that serious newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung contained more of these constructions than tabloid Bild.

Austiacisms in the work of Christine Nöstlinger and their position in Austrian German in present time
Hambálková, Zuzana ; Zeman, Dalibor (advisor) ; Haupenthal, Thomas Maria (referee)
The Diploma Thesis "Austriacisms in the work of Christine Nöstlinger and their position in Austrian German in present time" deals with austriacisms from the theoretical and practical point of view. It focuses on the conception of austriacisms from different points of view according to linguistic experts, the analysis of the terms from the novel of Nöstlinger and most importantly on the practical sociolinguistic research. The results of this research have shown that the hypothesis was proven. The hypothesis lies in the fact that the informants know autriacisms and that they actively use them. Austriacisms are a consistent and living part of the present colloquial German language. These expressions are not considered to be an archaism and the informants are proud that this variety of the German language has enriched the standard language. The usage of austriacisms is considered to be a part of the Austrian history and culture. Key words: austriacism, lexicology, sociolinguistics, Austrian literature, sociolinguistic research Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Problems with pronunciation of terms used to describe cognitive facts on German-speaking countries
Švédová, Zdeňka ; Nečasová, Pavla (advisor) ; Zeman, Dalibor (referee)
This bachelor thesis inquires into the phonetic phenomena that occurs in the Standard German pronunciation of the German toponyms. It applies the phonetical and phonological rules on the study of the cognitive facts on German speaking countries and shows both usefulness and importance of the combination of these two disciplines. Nobody dealt with similar topic in the past. The aim of this work is to point out the phenomena that cause difficulties with pronunciation to Czech learners of the German language. It is supposed that the phenomena that do not occur in their mother tongue will be complicated for them to learn. To achieve the goal, systematic procedure was taken which includes the specification of the discipline that deals with the cognitive facts on the German speaking countries, the comparison of Czech and German phonetic system, the transcription of the selected toponyms and description of the problematic phonetic issues and finally the research which consists of an auditive analysis of recordings and a questionnaire. The auditive analysis of the recordings proves the hypothesis of this bachelor thesis. Students do make mistakes in the expected phenomena, although, according to the results of the questionnaire, they are aware of the differences between the Czech an German phonetic system....

Czech-German (Austrian) language relations
Stýblová, Radka ; Zeman, Dalibor (advisor) ; Haupenthal, Thomas Maria (referee)
TITLE Czech-German (Austrian) language relations - possibilities for language interference SUMMARY This diploma thesis examines the language interference between the Czech and the German in the field of gastronomy. This phenomenon is reflected in the composition of grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. The last area has been selected for a research. I decided to analyze 180 menu cards in the nine states of Austria. In those menu cards I tried to discover 13 in advance chosen words, which have been used in the Central-European language area according to Newerkla. Appearance of those 13 words in menu cards proves mutual language influence between the Czech and the German in each state of Austria. The research, I conducted, shows that the most influenced states are Vienna, Lower and Upper Austria. Probably the main reason for the result is that in these areas the most intensive political and economic cooperation between Czechs and Austrians took place.
