Mabbettová, Anna ; Suková Vychopňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Biegel, Madeleine (referee)
The present diploma thesis deals with the use of anglicisms and slang (argotic) expressions in the French language used by young people, based on the speech of the famous French youtuber Squeezie, who is understood here as a representative of said young generation, i.e. generation Z. The theoretical part defines the notion of loanwords and the specific situation for anglicisms in relation to French, from the historical influence of English on French to the types of anglicisms and language politics associated with them. It also discusses slang, or more specifically argot, its social context, word-formation processes, and the linguistic specifics of such slang in relation to the younger generation. The empirical part then provides an in-depth analysis of a selection of twenty of Squeezie's videos, identifying the number of occurrences, context of use and any thematic patterns or motivations for the use of all the anglicisms and slang terms used, drawing on the theory presented. KEYWORDS anglicisms, loanwords, argot, slang, youths, generation Z, lexicology

he Bachelor thesis deals with the topic of interpersonal communication. The bachelor's thesis aims to focus on communication and expression differences between male and female genders. It summarizes the most important findings from this field, from literature and scientific articles.
