Language transfer and fluency
 Jiřelová, Karolina ; Gráf, Tomáš (advisor) ; Čermák, Jan (referee)
The present thesis is concerned with the phenomenon of language transfer of fluency in sponteneous speech of advanced learners of English, whose first language is Czech. Particularly, it considers the transfer of speech rate and two selected speech management strategies: filled pauses and repeats. These strategies commonly occur in the speech of native speakers. Non-native speakers, however, tend to overuse these and the difference in distribution as compared to native speech can negatively influence their fluency. The thesis examines the hypothesis that speech rate and the use of filled pauses and repeats are affected by transfer from L1 alongside increased planning pressures, leading to overuse of these strategies in the speech of advanced learners and the differences in distribution. The data for analysis were taken from English and Czech recordings of eight advanced learners.

Passivization of ditransitive verbs give and buy
 Jiřelová, Karolina ; Brůhová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Dušková, Libuše (referee)
The subject of the present thesis is the analysis of two ditransitive verbs give and buy as regards the options of their passivization. Ditransitive verbs: verbs that are complemented by two objects form two types of passive constructions depending on which object becomes the passive subject. The indirect object of the verb give alternates with a prepositional object with preposition to and the indirect object of buy alternates with a prepositional object with preposition to. It is assumed, that ditransitive verbs with the indirect object having the role of an actual recipient (verbs alternating with prepositional object with preposition to) form passive constructions more easily than those with the indirect object having the role of a beneficiary (verbs alternating with prepositional object with preposition to). The approaches to the acceptability of the latter ditransitive verbs differ. The analytical part is a corpus based analysis of 100 examples excerpted from the British National Corpus and Corpus of Contemporary American English. The analysis included only examples of passive constructions where both passive subject and passive object were realized. The examples were divided according to the type of passive and they were analyzed as for their frequency and the factors influencing the choice...
