Czech phonetic transcription
Zedek, Martin ; Atassi, Hicham (referee) ; Sysel, Petr (advisor)
The aim is to create a script for automatic transcription of Czech language phonetic forward and backward. The thesis compares the different phonetic alphabet and describes their advantages and disadvantages. For this thesis was eventually selected Czech Phonetic Alphabet (ČFA). The following are the most important rules for connection of vowels and consonants and the main assimilation rules. The script was created in MATLAB environment. The function is to convert the phonetic form using the rules described. Backward conversion is not fully debugged and it is necessary to refine the result using Aspell program for correcting spelling.

Teaching Mandarin pronunciation: the cliticoids and basic types of phonetic chunks
Třísková, Hana
The paper is concerned with an important group of Chinese words, belonging to the high frequency items of the lexicon: monosyllabic function words such as prepositions, personal pronouns etc. They carry lexical tone, thus have a potential to be stressed. Yet, due to their deficiency in lexical meaning and frequent usage, they regularly behave as unstressed (and phonetically reduced) in connected speech. They receive stress (i.e. full pronunciation) only occasionally, particularly if emphasised. A new term is coined for these words: “the cliticoids”. The author provides their list and reviews the pitfalls of their pronunciation, observing that the Chinese cliticoids display similar features as so called “words with weak forms” found in English. Finally, short (2–3 syllabic) chunks of speech which contain the cliticoids are introduced. They are particularly designed for exercising the unstressed, reduced pronunciation of the cliticoids in L2 teaching. They are termed “phonetic chunks”.

The Development of Pronunciation Practice in Theaching German in Basic Schools
RYCHTAŘÍKOVÁ, Jana
This bachelor work is concerned with the development of German pronunciation practice at elementary schools. Theoretical part describes phonetic phenomena that are usually the cause of problems for Czech students when learning German pronunciation. It is based on the typology of exercise by Ursula Hirschfeld and it sums up the most important principles of the pronunciation exercise. The practical part includes the analysis of two textbooks Deutch mit Max and Macht mit! This thesis evaluates the number of each phonetic exercise in each textbook and exercise book. It then compares that number to the total number of these exercises in the whole set of textbooks. It describes the phonetic states that are exercised in the textbooks and which exercises are not included. It then classifies these exercises according to Prof. Ursula Hirschfeld. In the second part, there are at least two types of exercise suggested for each phenomenon.

A Linguistic Analysis of a Baroque Historical Text
VESELÁ, Jaroslava
The topic of this diploma thesis is a linguistic analysis of a defined part of the first volume of Jan František Beckovský´s baroque chronicle. The theoretical level approaches the life of the author, it summarizes his works and introduces the chronicle called Poselkyně starých příběhů českých I written in 1700 itself. The analysis deals with the phonological and lexical levels of the chronicle in several thematic wholes. Less attention was paid to the morphological and stylistic levels. The syntactic structure of the chronicle was not analysed there. The thesis aims at discussing the basic phonological features of the high Baroque style language and presenting the vocabulary specifics of a historiographical text.

We describe individual phenomens of two language levels phonetics and morfology then, especially with regard to theory and practice. Principal aim of my work is to contribute to o deeper understanding of Czech language from the late baroque.
