Hakenová, Barbora ; Dittmann, Robert (advisor) ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (referee)
This thesis contributes to the research on Czech dialects in language enclaves abroad. Its objective is to describe the language of the Czech minority in the villages of Repinka, Voskresenka and Novohradka in Russia, Omsk, the territory of Kalachinsk. The research is restricted only to the oldest generations, i.e. people over the age of fifty-five, whose language use is analyzed on these traditional levels of language: phonology, morphology, syntax and marginally also lexicology. The theoretical part of this research deals with the history of Czech immigrants in Tsarist Russia. The study then focuses on the history of Czech immigrants in regions connected with moving to Siberia and on the present philological researches on the Czech community in Omsk region. The following part describes the methods of the data processing. Transcriptions of recorded speeches and prayers in the Czech language set down in Cyrillic alphabet were used as the input data. They were described separately for each language level. Most attention is paid to the elements which help to classify the dialect of Repinka under one of the dialect groups of the Czech language, and furthermore to language elements influenced by foreign languages (especially by Russian). In the conclusion, the author summarizes the obtained results. On...

The Writer and Her Critics. Czech Reflections of J. K. Rowling's Tweets about Trans People
Kolaříková, Marie ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (advisor) ; Adam, Robert (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the presentation of the conflict between the writer J.K. Rowling and her critics on five of the most widely read Czech online news portals, namely Novinky.cz, Lidovky.cz, Aktualne.cz, Echo24.cz, and iDNES.cz. The thesis examines the textual strategies used to communicate about trans individuals and the controversy surrounding them. The thesis employs methods derived from ethnomethodology, specifically Membership Categorization Analysis (MCA) and Media Dialogical Network (MDN). Using the MCA method, it was found that by categorizing the writer and her critics into collections of membership categories, a certain image of the situation was conveyed. The controversy was portrayed as interpersonal drama among celebrities, damage to J.K. Rowling's career, cancel culture, injecting politics into the apolitical sphere of art and culture, but only rarely as the struggle of trans people for their rights. In the analysis of texts using the MDN method, it was found that the portals, in developing the dialogic network, focus primarily on how the specific case harmed the life and career of Rowling and other artists. In the news, trans people were thus pushed into the background, with their lives and rights being only minimally addressed. Trans people in the texts become mere...

Hejdová, Tereza ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (advisor) ; Škarpová, Marie (referee)
The work The Image of Jan Hus in the Early Modern Czech Literature tries to map different ways of description of this Czech preacher in selected literary texts from 15th to 18th century, to capture the changes which his image underwent. The chosen authors come from different countries and use different languages, represent different environments, social classes and opinion groups, they also have different education and religion. Individual literary works were assessedby means of comparing the key episodes that are either repeated in the texts, or the author intentionally did not use them. To understand the image of Jan Hus as a whole, also contemporary iconography was taken into account , which in some cases has been taken from other literary texts than those which were compared, so that the image of Hus whereas complete as possible. The comparison of the texts and iconography showed, how accurate the observation of the described scheme was and how the image of Jan Hus was gradually changing. The combination of written and iconographic material from specific time intervals allowed us to observe the gradual change of conceptions of the personality of Jan Hus and events connected with him, because the authors represent the opinion of their ethnic group and time. The image of Jan Hus is therefore very...

Hedvíková, Marie ; Dittmann, Robert (advisor) ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines disappearance of the third-person auxiliary in the compound preterite. The phenomenon chosen was studied in the text of the Gospel of Mark in older Czech Bibles. We intended to build on the previous research of auxiliary distribution - especially in the studies authored by S. Dickey, R. Dittmann, J. Filipová, and J. Zdeňková. We traced the gradual loss of the auxiliary in ten different biblical translations. Our material includes the Old Czech Evangeliary, representatives of all four Old Czech Bible redactions (beginning with the Dresden Bible), and selected printed Bibles up to the Six- Volume Kralice Bible. We manually excerpted all the instances of the compound preterite from the sources. Subsequently, each token was annotated with respect to the presence of the auxiliary, grammatical categories of number and aspect, and the presence of the subject. Then we analyzed the data obtained with the help of the functions of the Microsoft Excel (version 2303), statistical calculators available at www.socscistatistics.com, and the R software. We compared the basic statistics results with previous research, we formulated new hypotheses and possible starting points for further research.

Prose adaptations of J. K. Tyl's dramas by V. Kovářík
Sedláčková, Barbora ; Martínek, František (advisor) ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with prose adaptations of Josef Kajetán Tyl's dramas Jiříkovo vidění a jiné příběhy (publisher Albatros, 1973 and 1978) by Vladimír Kovářík which are intended for children. It compares the short-story adaptation of the play Strakonický dudák and the original play edited by A. Jedlička (In: Dramatické báchorky, publisher SNKLHU, 1953). The thesis analyzes certain types of changes between the text of drama and prose that the adapter made in order to adapt the storyline to the form of a short story: more detailed descriptions, less dialogization, reduction of the number of utterances and slight changes in the order of the different parts of the story. The thesis also focuses on the linguistic changes that were made in order to update the text and make it more accessible for a new reader model - children, i.e. changes in vocabulary (simplification of formulations), word order and morphological changes. 1

Thought representation in Year 3 reading anthologies through the perspective of gender - a corpus analysis
Hejnišová, Kateřina ; Kuzmičová, Anežka (advisor) ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (referee)
(in English): The diploma thesis focuses on the linguistic representation of the thinking of the characters of prose texts in contemporary reading books for the 3rd year of elementary school and on its variation in relation to the character's gender. Based on the created corpus, the author analyzed the verb forms of selected thinking verbs using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The goal of the work was to test several methods for analyzing literary texts, but also to compare individual reading books in the context of the international discussion about the cognitive aspects of children's literature and gender stereotyping in literature, whose formative impact on readers is documented by psychological studies. The work was created within the project PRIMUS/20/HUM/005 Integrating Text & Literacy Research (2020-2022).
