Svobodová, Michaela ; Chejnová, Pavla (advisor) ; Hirschová, Milada (referee)
This work deals with politeness, politeness strategies and thanking and accepting thanks in the Czech Republic. At first, the thesis processes the issue from a theoretical point of view, there are presented the findings and theories of Czech and foreign linguists, who are interested in politeness and communication, several approaches toward polite or impolite behaviour. I describe in detail thanking and responses to thanks, expressions of gratitude and ingratitude; there are presented the topics, which directly relate to the issue, too. The practical part deals with the research of supposed responses of respondents - thanking and accepting thanks - in specific situations. The task isn't to research the using of speech, but the utterance considered as polite and suitable in the situation. I chose the questionnaire with 5 open questions, where respondents were asked to write the answer according to their experience. The research was oriented on respondents of both sexes between the ages of 14 to 42 years. The results are given in real numbers (firstly both sexes together and then separately). Finally, the results and findings are analysed and interpreted. Keywords: politeness, speech etiquette, Czech culture, thanking, accepting thanks

Forms of Addressing in Czech TV shows
Škodová, Kateřina ; Hirschová, Milada (advisor) ; Schneiderová, Soňa (referee)
Résumé The thesis deals with addressing in Czech TV programmes such as talk-shows. There are 54 programmes broadcasted in 2012 and 2013 that were analysed. Firstly, the term "addressing" is defined as well as its functions. Secondly, the thesis is focused on various kinds of addressing (direct and indirect addressing in particular), the relationship to vertical social distance and the frequency of honorifics. According to the analysis of selected TV programmes (the programmes are characterized, the results of the analyses are summarized in tables in the Summarizing protocols), it is described how the incidence of individual types of addressing is related to the type of the programme (talk-shows compared to political debates or conventional interviews etc.). The selected way of addressing largely defines the nature of communication used in the programme. In certain programmes the way of addressing is strictly formal (OVM), in other programmes the way of addressing is being "negotiated". The television is an influential media and its communication conventions are transferred to interpersonal communication - especially the growth of informal addressing can be observed regardless of the fact if it is a genuinely informal situation or a communication strategy that is aimed at having a pleasant conversation.

Politeness in the Czech Republic and Abroad : a contrastive Study of one Act of Communication - Greetings
Vegnerová, Hana ; Chejnová, Pavla (advisor) ; Hirschová, Milada (referee)
Communication is everyday basic interaction among people, which consists of two components, verbal and nonverbal. A prerequisite for successful communication is politeness, which is discussed in this thesis. This thesis focuses more-in-depth on one act of communication, greetings. Attention is paid on greetings in Czech and German language. The work is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with the pragmatics and communication. It defines the concepts of politeness (brief part is dedicated to its history, its functions and linguistic access to it), discourtesy and greeting. The practical part is focused on the questionnaires that have been used for data collection. Answers to questions are tabulated in percentage terms and in comparative text processing, which was the aim of my thesis. The result of the research is the conclusion that both languages express politeness in a very similar way. German greetings are more diverse and less formal thanks to the influence and acceptance of English words.

Pseudo-coordination in the syntax of contemporary Czech
Škodová, Svatava ; Uličný, Oldřich (advisor) ; Hirschová, Milada (referee) ; Zikánová, Šárka (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to address the diversity of coordinative constructions, illustrating their properties, and to pro vide a forma 1 account for them in the frame of the theoretical background of the dependency syntax. This thesis namely investigates three construction types in the syntax of contemporary Czech, aH ofwhich have in common a binary coordinative structure, using the Czech coordinator a (and), where two verbs are coordinated. These constructions are referred to as prototypical coordination (ProKoor), pseudo-coordination (PseKoor) and reduplicative coordination (ReKoor). The main claim is that even though these three types share the same surface structure (go )VlandV2 or Vl andVl, they do not represent the same phenomenon of coordination and it is necessary to divide them into three types, as proposed. I have proposed a two-part analysis. Firstly, PseKoor is analysed as a complex predicate formed on the level of syntax. This analysis immediately accounts for a number of properties of PseKoor which allows the comparison with ProKoor. Secondly, PseKoor is analysed as means of aktionsart, resp. as a variety coordination over substages of events. This also accounts for a number of characteristics of PseKoor, this time on the level of semantics. ln this way I also present criteria for...
