Hašková, Nikol ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Lancová, Klára (referee)
This bachelor's thesis aims to explore the unconventional register used in Sapphire's novel PUSH. The practical section of the thesis is dedicated to translating the first chapter and the final two paragraphs of the novel from the English language into the Czech language. The theoretical section of the thesis focuses on stylistic analysis of the translation, examining various textual elements such as register, vulgarisms, idiomatic expressions, and place names. The practical section also considers and explains the decisions made during the translation process.

Fairytales about selfdetermination.
Sachrová, Tereza ; Babáková, Bernardeta (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
In my bachelor thesis I present a text named Tales from Beztrudy land in an author book. It’s 12 stories about Lutynka and Hynek living in an abandoned narrow gauge railway near a train station in a land called Beztrudy. They live with eighteen dogs, with a cat without one leg Prlenka, with half dog half fox Bařinka and one domesticated bird. Together with their friends, they face everyday problems (getting food, changing seasons, growing a group of dogs, bottling honey, going to the ball, etc.), as well as traumas, social abnormalities, problems with the dominance of the powerful or the absence of a stable background for life. The setting of the stories - Beztrudy is a paraphrase of the Beskydy Mountains, which are the main inspiration for the stories. The goal of the thesis was to create an ecofeminist text similar to fairy tale series, which would thematize non-hierarchical interpersonal relationships, the relationship with nature or coping with abandonment. In the text part of the thesis, I also deal with the role of dialect in society or when working with language. Furthermore, I thematize here the eternal struggle to preserve the integrity of the landscape and the role of this theme in fairy tale production.

Contemporary Dictionary of the Young Generation Dialect in Hranice
Toračová, Klára ; Nedvědová, Blanka (advisor) ; Sojka, Pavel (referee)
Contemporary Dictionary of the Young Generation Dialect in Hranice ABSTRACT Czech is an extraordinarily rich language, our largest dictionary has approximately 250,000 words and this number also includes many more belonging to dialect groups. However, some dialect words are still not recorded in dictionaries and their use is restricted to a very narrow range of users. This bachelor's thesis focuses on dialects, specifically in the town of Hranice in the Olomouc Region. Nowadays dialects are being transformed due to several factors. This paper aims to determine whether the meanings of specific dialect words are still familiar to the young generation in the Hranice dialect section and whether these are used in their everyday speech. The theoretical part defines the basic concepts related to the dialect, the characteristics of the dialect of the area and a brief description of the history of Hranice and its surroundings. The practical part is based on data collected using a questionnaire. First, linguistic material was collected from respondents of different generations, aged from 24 to 65, who were born in Hranice and commonly use the local dialect. Using this linguistic material and the words captured in the Czech Language Atlas, a questionnaire was compiled and presented to the pupils of the Gymnasium and...

Yellowhammer dialects and citizen science
Diblíková, Lucie ; Petrusková, Tereza (advisor) ; Linhart, Pavel (referee) ; Osiejuk, Tomasz S. (referee)
Bird dialects, the cultural phenomena that can be linked to migration, gene flow, speciation and cultural evolution, have been studied extensively. The yellowhammer Emberiza citrinella, a common European bird with a simple song and long singing season, has been a model species for studying dialects for decades. In this thesis, I collate several studies that benefited from citizen science approaches to push this field forward. First, we have compiled and unified information on yellowhammer dialect distribution scattered in numerous publications, and unified different dialect nomenclatures used in the past. We supplemented this with data available thanks to volunteers contributing to public databases and other online sources, and demonstrated that the continental distribution patterns of yellowhammer dialects do not support the existence of broad, geographically distinct macrodialect groups as previously believed. In 2011, as part of the Bird of the Year campaign of the Czech Society of Ornithology, we launched a year-long public awareness project "Dialects of Czech Yellowhammers". Its first year's results exceeded expectations in quality and quantity, so a one-year, conservation-focused citizen science project became a long-term, investigative one. In subsequent years, improvements to the web user...

Regional and linguistic identities : the North of France
SCHWITTER, Emma
This qualitative research aims to find out whether a regional identity in Northern France is possible without identifying with and/or practising its regional language or dialect. A literature review was conducted on the history of the region, the history of the Ch'ti language, its regional language, and the definition of the terms "identity" and "regional identity". Four semi-structured interviews were conducted with people of different generations in order to collect qualitative data on the research topic. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. The results are described after the methodology section, which is describing the process of constructing the research question and the way the interviews were conducted. These results are then questioned in a dedicated section. This is followed by the conclusion, a summary in English, the bibliography of the literature section and illustrations, allowing a better representation of the region. The appendices conclude this research and illustrate the whole research process.

ROZKOVCOVÁ, Markéta
The present bachelor thesis aims to map the linguistic situation on the island of Sardinia and the language policy towards the minority languages present there.

I also focus on the Ligurian dialect spoken here. I also briefly mention some of the differences between standard Italian and the regional Italian of Sardinia. The second half of this thesis is then devoted to the laws that protect minority languages and the concrete steps of the regional language policy that will take to promote or revive minority languages.
