Cistercian and Benedictine Sign Language in the Middle Ages
Těšínská Lomičková, Radka ; Kuthan, Jiří (advisor) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee) ; Jarošová, Markéta (referee)
Radka Těšínská Lomičková: Cistercian and Benedictine Sign Language in the Middle Age Sign language is an important communication phenomenon that has existed for a thousand years. In medieval monasteries signs were used to enable simple communication of messages when rules of silence forbade monks from speaking. This thesis concentrates on a study of sign language communication in Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries during the Middle Ages. In doing so it describes the history of sign language in Europe between the 10th and 15th centuries. Furthermore it shows that sign language was not only used in the center of the order but in the Czech Republic as well. This thesis provides a detailed discussion of sign lexicons which are similar to a monolingual dictionary and are the basic and central source of information about each language. Lexicons contain words and short descriptions of how to make each hand sign. A careful analysis of one particular sign lexicon, called Siquis (which was used in Central Europe in the 15th century), reveals new information about daily life in medieval monasteries. The primary focus of the Siquis lexicon was liturgy, food and drink, utensils, persons, and activities. This thesis concentrates on both singular words and on the description of the signs in the lexicons....

Communication problems of the majority society with a group of deaf
Vaculíková, Zuzana ; Mrkosová, Eva (advisor) ; Hádková, Kateřina (referee)
The topic of the thesis is communication problems of the majority of society and groups of deaf people. Deaf people also live in the majority of hearing society. These people meet each other and they can communicate with each other. This communication is problematic, however, because in the communication of deaf and hearing there are communication barriers. In this thesis, we used a quantitative method of the surveyed hearing respondents. We researched what communication problems exist in the communication of the majority society and a group of deaf people. Based on the methods used, we found that communication problems are mainly caused by a lack of awareness of the major societies of the group of deaf people. In this thesis, we propose to raise awareness of the majority of the hearing society about a group of deaf people, in order to eliminate communication problems. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Interpreting and its influence on the quality of sign language interpreters' operative memory
Vaněčková, Lenka ; Hynková Dingová, Naďa (advisor) ; Smolík, Filip (referee)
The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on interpreting with regard to simultaneous interpreting and sign language interpreting with all of its specifics. Furthermore, it deals with memory as such, as well as with working memory, which is consequently correlated with sign language users, with the process of simultaneous interpreting and with sign language interpreting. The empirical part is based on a qualitative research - testing of working memory among a group of sign language interpreters, spoken language interpreters and non- interpreters through Reading Span Task and Corsi's test. The results form the basis for a hypothesis necessary for the ensuing quantitative exploration: interpreting has a positive influence on the quality of working memory among sign language interpreters.
