The ways of enriching the Arabic lexicon with a special respect to journalistic style
Bielický, Viktor ; Zemánek, Petr (advisor) ; Oliverius, Jaroslav (referee)
The present study consists of two parts. The first, theoretical part focuses on brief and mostly lexical characteristics of the Arabic media language style (Chapter 2) and describes in outline all word-formational methods used in Modern Standard Arabic for lexical innovation, especially in the field of scientific and technical vocabulary (Chapter 3), i.e. derivation (ištiqq), lexical borrowing (tacrb), composition (nah t), semantic extension (maz), and translation (tarama). The second part (Chapter 4), based on a digitalized corpus of newspaper texts (Lebanese daily newspaper al-H ayt), deals in detail with word-formational, structural, syntactic, and semantic analysis of selected one-word, compound and multi-word lexical units (collocations) in Modern Standard Arabic. An Arabic-Czech dictionary of all lexical material treated in the text is attached to the study (Appendix).

From Radioart to Musical Theatre
Jiřička, Lukáš ; KLÍMA, Miloslav (advisor) ; NOVOTNÝ, Pavel (referee)
This dissertation From Radioart to Musical Theatre aims at showing connections between seemingly different fields ? mainly sound-drama radioart, which in German is called Hörspiel, and musical theatre. In my dissertation, I try to define the characteristics as well as structural principles of text, space, sound, voice, acting, music and body in these transdisciplinary forms and genres, which have never retained any kind of purity in the traditional sense.In the analytical and introductory historical part of my dissertation, various seemingly different areas were introduced and discussed. These areas were musical or sound theatre in its general as well as specific form and its interrelation with sound installations, performance, radioart in form of Hörspiel, musical composition and sound art. In the following chapters, I used examples of several pivotal personalities from the German speaking area skilled in musical composition as well as directing and dramatics to present for instance the influence of musical structure on composition and other performing activities or the relationship of dramatic or literary model to its scenographic adaptation. The whole issue of relationships of disparate art forms is being showed on the examples of several artists ? directing composers who create these links thanks to their activity in various fields, as they intertwine musical and performing worlds on the level of structure, motifs and dramatics. The creators of such heterogeneous artworks using the strategy of the so-called negative dramatics are inherently split personalities - Heiner Goebbels, Helmut Oehring, Olga Neuwirth and Andreas Ammer. Goebbels as well as Oehring, Neuwirth and Ammer are able to make use of their experience with musical composition and/or work for the radio in the creation of musical performances in the way that they let particular composition techniques and staging be freely influenced by the knowledge of other media. Besides the above mentioned group of artists, I mention also other significant authors from the 20th and 21st century, who dealt with radioart, musical composition, collage and montage, performance and musical theatre - Bertolt Brecht, Dziga Vertov, Emil František Burian, Walter Ruttmann, John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Dieter Schnebel, Georg Katzer, Friedrich Schenker, FM Einheit či Laurie Anderson and Georges Aperghis. Without the influence of the last fifty year-history of radioart, musical theatre would certainly not be such an important form of alternative theatre and performing art as such. Especially nowadays, when thanks to the emancipation and stressing of sound at the expense of acting a new stage language is being created within musical theatre, and the form itself transforms into yet little analysed field of the so-called postspectacular or mechanical theatre without actors.

The propagation of the stress waves in an inhomogeneous media.
Hora, Petr ; Šiňor, M.
In this contribution we pay attention to the propagation of the stress waves in an arbitrary complex inhomogeneous media. For the system of elastodynamic wave equations we have adopted the method of solution based on the local interaction simulation approach (LISA) and the sharp interface model (SIM).The implementation of LISA/SIM in 2D and 3D to computer codes is done in the C programming language. Preprocessor is done in the programming language Python with graphics library wxPython/wxWindows.

Functional, Grammatical and Lexical Specifics of Journalistic Writing at the Present time. The Language Used on the Internet
Tilly, Sergej ; Spiridonov, Vasilij (advisor) ; Nazarenko, Liliya (referee)
The problem of the contemporary journalism (language of reporting, documentary style) condition, which mainly uses the media for its purposes, is one of the most topical ones in the contemporary society. The specific character of language of media, as it was already mentioned, is usually determined by the special features of communicative situation as well as audience type it addresses. The strengthening of speech effect in journalism is achieved with the aid of the stylistic figures and tropes. Their usage is based on the two basic tendencies - standardization and expressiveness. Some expressive means of the language of journalism are converted into the clichés. During the last decades the language of reporting position in the stylistic system of the Russian language became even more complex. In the relationship of the basic forms of national language the expansion of two peripheral forms is very obvious - the expansion jargon forms and colloquial language. The language of journalism is leaving the rigid system of language styles and actively interacts with conversational language. In this situation the stylistic identity of the language of journalism occurs under the obvious threat. Today we observe one very interesting and important tendency: the contemporary language of media lies between two...

Media Bias in Czech Newspapers
Žiačiková, Zuzana ; Koblovský, Petr (advisor) ; Houdek, Petr (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the media bias of the selected Czech newspapers. The study is conducted through a modified method for the measurement of the media bias, introduced by Gentzkow and Shapiro (2010). The media bias here means the use of the politically loaded language in the newspapers. The method is based on the comparison between the partisan language of the political parties represented in Parliament and language of the selected newspapers. This is carried out by comparing the phrases frequencies in the parliamentary speeches assigned to a coalition or an opposition and in the newspaper content. The analysis of the statistical dependence of newspaper's language and the partisan speech provides the evidence that Hospodářské noviny and Lidové noviny use language more similar to a coalition. Content of Mladá fronta Dnes, Blesk, Právo a Haló appear to be closer to an opposition parties.

Cross-subjects topics in the grammar school TEFL
Zenkerová, Nela ; Berglová, Eva (referee) ; Mothejzíková, Jarmila (advisor)
The overall objective of this paper is to consider possible ways of incorporating "cross-subject topics" into the grammar school curriculum when teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), in particular the third year of a four-year course (where a course spans more than four years this would be the equivalent). 1 New Concept of Czech Education The first chapter enumerates the most important changes brought about by the new curricular reform. To name but a few: education should primarily focus on creating and developing "key skills". The Curricular Framework for Grammar Schools (Rámcový vzdělávací program pro gymnázia) which is relevant for the purposes of this paper specifies the following key skills: Learning, Problem Solving, Communication, Social and Personal skills, Citizenship skills, and Entrepreneurial skills. Another requirement stated in the Framework is the schools' obligation to incorporate "cross-subject topics" into their own school curriculum ("školní vzdělávací program"). In the Framework five statutory cross-subject topics can be found: Personal and Social Education, Education of Thinking in European and Global Context, Multicultural Education, Environmental Education, and Media Education. The Framework also suggests various ways of incorporating these topics into the school curriculum....

Language and rhetoric of election posters
Robovská, Luisa ; Hartlová, Dagmar (referee) ; Štajnerová, Petra (advisor)
The purpose of this thesis was to analyze how and with what kind of means election posters can persuade. The material we used were posters of Swedish parliament political parties from the campaign before the parliament election in September 2006. Together we used 94 posters of 6 six political parties. For the analysis we got inspiration of rhetoric, because of two reasons. The first reason was that rhetoric and election posters have got the same purpose: to persuade. Because of that we thought that they should use the same means of persuading. The second reason was that rhetoric could help us to get structure in our analysis. We analyzed different aspects of the posters: 1. ways of argumentation, 2. disposition and structure, 3. language and style, 4. emotional persuading, and finally 5. layout. But the most important part was the language. As the political parties use a media most typical for advertising, we focused also on the difference between the political language and advertising language. We tried to put a border between the two of them and to decide where between them the election posters are. One of our conclusions is that election posters are really very similar to a rhetorical speech, they follow very often the rhetorical rules and use the same means. The two aspects we dedicated most attention...
