This bachelor's thesis aims to analyze the lyrics of the music group Jananas mainly from a linguistic point of view. In the theoretical part of this thesis it clarifies the view of the researched language material - song lyrics. Music and speech are undoubtedly related. In the beginning, we will look at this relationship between music and language, but we will also present some findings that make music and speech completely different. We will also describe the relationship between poems and songs. The boundary between these genres is relatively thin, so we will try to define their differences. We will specify the inclusion of song lyrics in the sphere of communication, and we will also include these lyrics in the functional style. We will look at the songs partly from the point of view of musicology. We will define their musical genre and briefly summarize the history of the development of this genre in the Czech Republic.

Štrynclová, Aneta ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Lancová, Klára (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with English-Czech translation. The thesis is divided into three parts, namely the theoretical part, which will deal with the theory of translatology as a science of translation but primarily it will relate to the theory of translation of potential problematic phenomena that were discovered while reading the original. The second part - practical, consists of a translation of parts of the book of vignettes by Mexican-American author Sandra Cisneros The House on Mango Street. The book is written from the perspective of a teenage Hispanic girl Esperanza Cordero who is coping with life in Chicago. The last part sheds light on some of the choices made during the practical translation process, explaining how these were informed by relevant theoretical findings outlined in the first part. It is a justification of the choices of translations of the specific phenomena. The sources for the theoretical part were mostly works by Czech authors dealing with the theory of translation such as Jiří Levý and his Umění překladu, Milan Hrdlička and Překladatelské miniatury, Pozvání k překladatelské praxi: kapitoly o překládání beletrie by Olga Krijtová or Překládání a čeština by Zlata Kufnerová et al.
