Problems with pronunciation of terms used to describe cognitive facts on German-speaking countries
Švédová, Zdeňka ; Nečasová, Pavla (advisor) ; Zeman, Dalibor (referee)
This bachelor thesis inquires into the phonetic phenomena that occurs in the Standard German pronunciation of the German toponyms. It applies the phonetical and phonological rules on the study of the cognitive facts on German speaking countries and shows both usefulness and importance of the combination of these two disciplines. Nobody dealt with similar topic in the past. The aim of this work is to point out the phenomena that cause difficulties with pronunciation to Czech learners of the German language. It is supposed that the phenomena that do not occur in their mother tongue will be complicated for them to learn. To achieve the goal, systematic procedure was taken which includes the specification of the discipline that deals with the cognitive facts on the German speaking countries, the comparison of Czech and German phonetic system, the transcription of the selected toponyms and description of the problematic phonetic issues and finally the research which consists of an auditive analysis of recordings and a questionnaire. The auditive analysis of the recordings proves the hypothesis of this bachelor thesis. Students do make mistakes in the expected phenomena, although, according to the results of the questionnaire, they are aware of the differences between the Czech an German phonetic system....

Modalwords as one of the modalinstruments in german and czech language
Koťová, Markéta ; Zeman, Dalibor (advisor) ; Haupenthal, Thomas Maria (referee)
Resumé Cílem mé práce bylo osvětlit zařazení modálních slov v českých a německých gramatikách. Došla jsem k závěru, že v obou jazycích je zařazení odlišné. Zatímco v němčině mají modální slova svou vlastní samostatnou skupinu, v češtině se řadí mezi částice, do podskupiny modální částice. V obou jazycích je dalším problémem vymezení modálních slov od jiných slovních druhů, jako jsou částice a adverbia. Pomocí různých gramatických příruček jsem sestavila přehled gramatických testů, které by nám měli v určování pomoci. V praktické části práce jsem využití těchto testů ukázala na konkrétních případech. Rovněž jsem modální slova porovnala s jejich českým překladem. Většina slov byla přeložena dle očekávání, tzn. modální slova v němčině jako modální částice v češtině. Modální částice vyjadřující jistotní modalitu se však vyskytovala ve více stylistických variantách, například modální slovo vielleicht bylo přeloženo jako snad, možná, pravděpodobně nebo třeba. Pouze jedno modální slovo, bestimmt, bylo přeloženo pomocí konkurenční formy. Key words: modality, modal word, modal particles, speech act
