Israeli National Identity in the songs of Naomi Shemer
Kuželová, Mariana ; Sládek, Pavel (advisor) ; Menachem Zoufalá, Marcela (referee)
This thesis aims at describing motives of Israeli national identity, as shown in lyrics of Israeli lyricist and composer No'omi Shemer (1930-2004) in her songs written until 1967. The first chapter presents history of Hebrew ideological songs from the end of 19th century to 1960's. The second chapter examines biographical events and political events of No'omi Shemer that are relevant for understanding of her writings. Next, methods and analyses of Shemer's lyrics by Michael Gadish, which to certain extent influenced this thesis, are explained. In this chapter, the relationship between No'omi Shemer's writings and Israeli national identity of her time is also shown. The last chapter focuses on the most prevalent motives of Shemer's lyrics, namely, the Biblical motives, the motive of a soldier and the motive of building. Each motive is presented in a subchapter, which demonstrates how Shemer dealt with them. The thesis contains visual attachments as evidence of the said motives being relevant to Israeli culture of Shemer's time. In the conclusion, the thesis seeks to examine reasons for the said motives being prominent in Israeli culture and national identity of the period.

Conceptualization of Music in the Lyrics by Jiří Suchý
Císlerová, Anna ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Lehečková, Eva (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with conceptualization of music in the lyrics by Jiří Suchý in the context of conceptualization of music in the Czech language. The thesis employs the methods of cognitive linguistics, mainly the linguistic view of the world and the conceptual metaphor theory. The goal of this thesis is to reconstruct the linguistic view of music and to identify conceptual metaphors that are used in the language material. The sources of the language data are firstly monolingual, phraseological and other dictionaries of the Czech language and secondly lyrics by Jiří Suchý. The research has shown that the conceptualizations of music based on the dictionary material occur also in the lyrics. However, the lyrics include more types of conceptualizations than can be found in the data from dictionaries. From this material it is also not possible to define, for example, the connotations of the word blues - the connotations were only found by looking at the lyrics. As the greatest contribution of this thesis we consider the discovery of parallel conceptual metaphors of music and language.

Progress of my musical authorical work and interpretation
Drábková, Anna ; JANDA ROGLOVÁ, Tereza (advisor) ; FEITHOVÁ, Irena (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with questions of composing and interpreting a song, authorship in different music bands, relationships between the author and interpret, inspirations and different angles of interpretation.
It is divided into four chapters. The first three chapters deal with the need to express oneself by writing songs and what drives me to create songs since childhood.
In the fourth chapter, I deal with the creation of songs, particularly with different styles and types. The next passage focuses on a deep analysis of my engagement as an author and how have I transformed as an author through a span of time. Then I deal with different song arrangements and their interpretations, how do they change over time. I look into possible experiments with songs as well. Finally, I deal with some problems of authorship and the extent of the author´s engagement in the process of work in different music bands, questions of different interpretations of songs, questions that regard the artist who is the author at the same time, and relationship to the audience. The last section of the thesis contemplates my concept of an imaginary viewer.
