The derivational suffixes -is and -o in present-day Swedish as two word-formation processes of slang in language on social media: corpus study
 Löblová, Alžběta ; Dubec, Pavel (advisor) ; Štěříková, Hana (referee)
The thesis is focussed on Swedish derivational suffixes -is and -o used in col- loquial Swedish or slang to coin embellished clippings or complex words. The aim of the thesis is to provide comparison of the suffixes in terms of the way new words are coined, what part of speech the words can be classified as and in terms of their meaning. The comparison helps to determine whether or not we are dealing with suffixes in competition. With respect to the way new words are coined with the suffixes, it was nec- essary to delineate some of the Swedish productive word-formation processes. The delineation of the productive processes in Swedish made possible to define the way new words with the suffixes -is and -o are coined. Newly coined words are usually marked by some degree of familiarity and often are perceived as creative neologisms by native speakers. Most words with these suffixes are randomly formed and as such are not used for a long period of time. For those reasons the suffixes are most productive in informal styles such as colloquial language or slang. The data sample is extracted from the texts on social media included in the Swedish corpus, where higher frequency of occurrence was expected. The analysis proved that the Swedish suffixes -is and -o are alike in terms of word-formation processes...

Negative intensification in spoken British English
 Löblová, Alžběta ; Malá, Markéta (advisor) ; Klégr, Aleš (referee)
The BA thesis examines means of intensification of negation in British spoken English. Since intensification is generally associated with adverbials, more precisely with adverbs of degree, another aim of the study is to prove there are other than lexical means of intensification. For it is focused on the spoken language, which is natural, unplanned, improvised, it includes constructions that are regarded as ungrammatical in Standard English, but occur widely in the material used, namely the demographically sampled sub-corpus of the British National Corpus. Drawing on Dušková et al. (1988) and Biber et al. (1999) the thesis defines negation and intensification, and their mutual interaction and relation. Based on the findings of Palacios- Martínez (1996), the thesis aims at suggesting a suitable classification of the means of negative intensification provided by the corpus-based study. keywords: intensification, intensifier, negation, speech, colloquial language
