Masaila, Kanstantsin ; Pavlík, Štěpán (advisor) ; Zádrapa, Lukáš (referee)
Present thesis aims to comprehensively describe pinyin and determine its role in Chinese society. First, the term pinyin is examined from the linguistic perspective. Following is the overview of historical development of phonetisation of Chinese language and the attitudes of Chinese public, government, and linguists, as well as the origins of pinyin itself until its embedment in the Law on Common Language of P. R. C. Next three chapters map pinyin's officially recognised functions, namely in Chinese language education, as a romanisation system, and as an alternative or a complementary system to Chinese character script. The last chapter briefly describes the attitudes of common users of language toward pinyin and the realisation of digraphia in China. Keywords pinyin, Hanyu Pinyin Fang'an, phonetisation, digraphia, Chinese language, romanisation, sociolinguistics
