Interpreter-mediated interactions at film Festivals in the Czech Republic
Císlerová, Eva ; Čeňková, Ivana (advisor) ; Jettmarová, Zuzana (referee) ; Müglová, Daniela (referee)
Filmové festivaly jsou v České republice důležitou položkou v úhrnu tlumočených interakcí. Před 15 lety bylo hlavní tlumočnickou činností na festivalech tlumočení filmů. Dnes se důraz přesouvá na úvody a debaty spojené s promítáním, což je způsobeno technologickým pokrokem v oblasti titulkování. Dizertační práce popisuje tlumočení na filmových festivalech ze dvou pohledů. První pohled je pohled z dálky a jeho výsledkem je seznam pozorovaných způsobů tlumočení na jednotlivých filmových festivalech v České republice. Data pro tento seznam byla získána pomocí dotazníků a rozhovorů s agenturami a organizátory festivalů. Druhý pohled pozoruje filmové festivaly z bližší a podrobnější perspektivy. Dívá se na tlumočení úvodů a debat v rámci promítání filmů. Do výzkumu byly zahrnuty následující filmové festivaly: Mezinárodní filmový festival Karlovy Vary (2009), Festival dokumentárních filmů o lidských právech Jeden svět (2009, 2010, 2011), Festival krátkých filmů Praha (2011) a Mezinárodní filmový festival Praha-Febiofest (2011). Způsob tlumočení v debatách a úvodech je převážně konsekutivní, někdy je ale v jednom směru nahrazen šušotáží. Tlumočení ve zkoumaných interakcích probíhalo mezi angličtinou, němčinou a češtinou. Výzkum je kvalitativní a má orientační povahu. Kvalitativní analýza je podpořena...

Commented translation:Introductory: Language Defined (E.Sapir: Language: An Introductionto the Study of Speech, 1921)
Mašek, Jan ; Jettmarová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Mraček, David (referee)
The thesis consists of a Czech translation of the first chapter, Introductory: Language Defined, from Language: An Introduction to the Study of Speech (New York: 1921, Harcourt, Brace and Company) by Edward Sapir and of a commentary on the translation. The commentary consists of a translation analysis of the source text, typology of translation problems and their solutions, and typology of translation shifts. The translation method was chosen based on the analysis, which was based on the method of Ch. Nord. The main objective of the translation was to preserve the informative function of the source text and it's style with regard to the documentary function of the translation and the conventions and constraints of the target language.

Harry Potter in Czech : Official and Fan Versions
Ešnerová, Kateřina ; Jettmarová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Švelch, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis looks at fan translation of fiction, a phenomenon that, unlike fan translation of anime and videogames, has been mostly overlooked by translation studies until recently. More specifically, we examine fan translations of Harry Potter books. The thesis aims to address a wide range of aspects pertaining to fan translation of fiction. In the opening chapters, it gives a brief overview of the history of fan translation in general and of research papers dedicated to the subject. Based on comparison with fan translations of anime and videogames, the thesis defines functions of fan translations of fiction in relation to official translations. The phenomenon of fan translation of fiction is then set in a wider context, one chapter detailing its relation to fan communities and one addressing the question of copyright. The nature of fan translations of fiction is further explored through comparison with official translations, which in this particular case focuses on Czech translations of Harry Potter books. First, we compare the translation process in case of both official and fan translations and then chosen extracts from the last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We also focus on differences between the collective fan translation and the fan translation done by an individual. We draw...

The Pragmatics of English Tag Questions in Translation
Urešová, Miroslava ; Jettmarová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Hoffmannová, Jana (referee)
This thesis explores the pragmatics of English tag questions in translation by analyzing their pragmatic function. Our approach is based on the theoretical assumption that Czech lacks straightforward linguistic counterparts of English tag questions. The quantitative and qualitative corpus-based research strives to produce interesting findings about possible relations between pragmatic function, polarity and the form of tag questions in English, original Czech and translated Czech texts. Therefore, we propose and verify several hypotheses about these relations. This thesis broadens theoretical knowledge about tag questions by contributing to research on translation universals and improves translation practice by presenting translators with a paradigm, i.e., a class of possible solutions to the problem of translating English tag questions into Czech.

Comparison of students' performance at the beginning and upon completion of their simultaneous interpretation training course
Renner, Jakub ; Čeňková, Ivana (referee) ; Jettmarová, Zuzana (referee)
The thesis aims to di scover any possible relat ionships between the capaci ty of working memory and the abi l i ty to interpret features of modal i ty. Based on this aim, the basic concepts determining the approach to the above quest ion are out l ined (working memory, modal i ty) . An experiment is conducted which on a populat ion of nine subject s invest igates the development of the capacity of working memory (memory span test ) and the abi l i ty to interpret features of modal i ty during the course of interpretat ion t raining (simul taneous interpretat ion of an Engl ish text wi th high incidence of modal i ty). On a populat ion of three subjects a fol low-up experiment invest igates the capaci ty of working memory and the abi l i ty to interpret features of modal i ty of experienced interpreters. Based on an analysis, evaluat ion and stat ist ical processing of the experimental resul ts, the thesis determines that working memory capaci ty and the abil i ty to interpret features of modal i ty may be related. The quant i tat ive research is supplemented by a discussion moving away f rom a purely pos i t ivist paradigm towards the interpretat ive (const ruct ivist ) paradigm; this discussion then out l ines problemat ic areas where further research could cont ribute towards a bet ter understanding of...
