Manipulation in Literature
Brožová, Ladislava ; Holý, Jiří (advisor) ; Svatoň, Vladimír (referee)
The theme of this diploma thesis is the manipulation in literature as a dialog between the I and the You or the I and the It. This I has a different position in each of the two types of manipulation. In the first type the I is the subject of manipulation - that is a manipulator. In the second one the I becomes the object of manipulation - thus a victim of a manipulator because the power over the I has been overtaken by other character's consciousness. The I and the You type is represented by an outside dialog (between characters), whereas the I and the It type is demonstrated in an inside dialog which does not occur between the hero and another character but between the hero and a voice of other character's consciousness. The opening part which deals with the manipulation in different contexts (philosophical, political and psychological) is followed by a part where I interpret the manipulation's representation in literature, especially in the works of Dostojevskij (The Double, The Village of Stepanchikovo, Notes from Underground, The Eternal Husband). With the characters of this author we can view the dark side of the human mind and also have a close look at various forms of arbitrariness, especially at the manipulation with the others.

The spelling of loanwords in contemporary daily press
Brožová, Ladislava ; Adam, Robert (advisor) ; Rejzek, Jiří (referee)
The theme of the bachelor's essay is the spelling of the loanwords in today's Czech daily press. The thesis consists of two parts: theoretical and practical. The first (theoretical) part informs about the spelling of the loanwords, which was established in 1957. Due to the constant language development the new codification (1993) codified a number of spelling changes, but they were not accepted among the experts nor public respectively. Linguists opened a discussion in which they presented their various opinions. The conclusion was publishing of Dodatek k Pravidlům českého pravopisu. It revised the spelling of the loanwords and is still valid. The crucial amendment was accepting double forms instead of "z" or short vowel only. The second part (practical) examines how the Czech daily press (Mladá fronta DNES, Lidové noviny, Hospodářské noviny, Právo and Blesk) reacts to the changes. In what way and how thoroughly do the editors respect the new rules? The aim of this essay(via excerpts from the five aforementioned newspapers) is to present the orthographical standards that prevail in today's newspapers and how has the usage of double forms of z/s, -izmus/-ismus, -ing/-ink affixes, or vowel length changed in the recent years.
