A Diachronic-synchonic Analysis of Anglicisms in Selected Periodicals Author: Bc. Lenka Kotvová Supervisor: PhDr. Dalibor Zeman, Ph.D. Pages: 144 The thesis deals with the issue of anglicisms in the German language, being based on the research of their presence in selected periodicals. In the theoretical part the individual linguistic terms are explained. Further, a brief, retrospective overview of the influences on German language is presented. Into focus comes the one these days most widely spread: the influence of English. Contrastive reactions to this phenomenon of both professional and lay public are introduced and attention is also drawn to the comparison of possible benefits and danger of the use of anglicisms. The practical part consists in own research, which comprehensively parses five selected periodicals in the terms of the presence of anglicisms. Both the quantitative and qualitative characteristics are examined and put through diachronic and synchronic comparison. The results of the research are finally confronted with the ideas and experience of lay public gained by the means of a questionnaire. Key words: Anglicism, Denglish, Periodical

Stolařová, Petra ; Glosíková, Viera (advisor) ; Haupenthal, Thomas Maria (referee)
Name of the diploma thesis: Teacher Figures In The Works Of Twentieth Century German Writers Author: Petra Stolafova Diploma thesis tutor: PhDr. Viera Glosikova CSc. ABSTRACT The subject of my thesis was to compare characters of teachers in the works of three German authors from the twentieth century. For this I chose Heinrich Mann and his novel Professor Unrat, written at the start of the twentieth century, the narrative by Anna Seghers, Der Ausjlug der toten Maedchen, in which the author takes a look back at the period of Nazi Germany and fmally contemporary author, Markus Orths and his novel, Lehrerzimmer. My goal when starting this piece of work was to learn about the behaviour and attitude of teachers towards pupils in a variety of time periods during the twentieth century and to compare this with the methods and approaches used by tutors today. For the individual chapters, I began by dedicating biographies for the specific authors. I followed this by focusing on the content of their works and then fmally analysing the behaviour of the literary figures represented as teachers.

In the novel Professor Unrat, I came to the conclusion that the...

Woman's place in the choosen Elfriede Jelinek's and Judith Herman's works
Brožová, Michaela ; Glosíková, Viera (advisor) ; Haupenthal, Thomas Maria (referee)
Hlavní téma obou autorek představuje relativně uzavřený svět hlavní ženské postavy, do kterého vstupují další postavy, spoluutvářející charakter jejího světa. Hlavní hrdinka románu Pianistka Erika Kohut žije ve třiceti letech stále se svoji matkou, pro kterou je nejen dítětem, ale i partnerem, přítelkyní či pacientkou. Erika nesmí vést svůj vlastní život, ztratila svoji vnitřní svobodu i právo sama se rozhodovat. Postupem času ztrácí však i sílu klást matce odpor a poslouchá, ačkoliv duševně pomalu umírá. Každá minuta jejího život patří matce a ona ví, že jí nikdy nebude dovoleno tento nezdravě pevný a vzájemný vztah opustit. Tento neúnosný způsob života jí donutí vést tajný život, ve kterém zkouší sama žít, myslet, snít a toužit, kdy poznává nástrahy a strasti života v podobě konkurence jejích mladých a atraktivních studentek či kolegů na vídeňské konzervatoři, probouzí se v ní vášeň a ženskost ve vztahu k žákovi Klemmerovi, či navštěvuje peep-show na okraji Vídně, kde bez zájmu sleduje cizí ženy stejně jako milující se páry v okolí Prateru. Tento život patří výhradně jí.

Adalbert Stifter as a Narrator of Everyday Life
Stejskalová, Jaroslava ; Broukalová, Jindra (advisor) ; Haupenthal, Thomas Maria (referee)
TITLE: Adalbert Stifter as a Narrator of Everyday Life SUMMARY: The subject of this thesis is the person and work of the writer Adalbert Stifter and the possible approaches to him. The object of this work is to observe the typical features of Stifter's work, to find possible reasons for its uniqueness and possible ways to it. Because I would like to achieve these objectives, I concentrate on the characteristics of Stifter's life and work and by their possible connection which can be seen in his "gentle law". Then I focus on the approaches to Stifter, that is on the reception of him and his work and on the concept of some possibilities for lessons. In my work I arrive at the conclusion that Stifter's life and opinions are mirrored in his work, that the approaches to him were and still are manifold and that he offers some possibilities for lessons and also for all readers. KEYWORDS: Biedermeier, gentle law, order, reception, lessons
