Choulíková, Klára ; Bozděchová, Ivana (advisor) ; Vaňková, Irena (referee)
The goal of this paper is a reflection of the use, word-formation and semantics of diminutives in the contemporary Czech language. A special focus is given on new or marginal phenomena. A description of the system of the word-forming category of diminutives serves as a background for our analysis. The research is based on the comparison of different approaches described in specialized linguistic handbooks which are supplemented with findings from particular linguistic studies.

Standard and non-standard language in printed media communication and its impact on discussions about standard language
Pospíšilová, Martina ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Jirák, Jan (referee)
The present Master's thesis analyses language means in printed media with a particular focus on national daily newspapers from the second trimester of 1993. That year, there was an important linguistic conference on standardised Czech and language culture. The analysis examines especially language means that deviate from the standardised norm of the language. The theoretical part discusses key concepts, such as norm and codification or national language and its varieties. The understanding of these terms is critical for the analytical part of the thesis where language means used in printed media are being analysed using quantitative content analysis. The aim of this analysis is to describe their motivation of use and function. The results are then compared with the proceedings of the 1993 conference on standardised Czech and language culture held in Olomouc. The thesis provides a clear view on how the occurrence of non-standardised language means in media influences academic discussion on standardised Czech.

Comparison of orthographic knowledge among elementary school pupils and grammar school and university students
PLÁŠILOVÁ, Veronika
Bachelor?s thesis is divided into two parts ? theoretical and practical one.

One part of the thesis is also the history of the development of orthography. Futhermore I focus on the fundamental literature about the rules of orthography. The aim of the practical part is to evaluate the level of orthographic knowledge at primary school, high school and university.

Is usage of international tax planning truly for everyone?
Komínek, Martin ; Klazar, Stanislav (advisor) ; Kostohryz, Jiří (referee)
International tax planning belongs to one of the phenomena of the last decades. Many countries began to reflect tax havens as part of the global economy and many of these tax havens make effort to transform into modern financial centres. This bachelor thesis analyses the break-even point of deciding whether to use or not to use the potential of international tax planning. The thesis is divided into three chapters. In the first chapter, I define tax havens and describe the history from its beginning to its present situation, legal forms of companies being established in tax havens and advantages of their usage, as well. In the second chapter, I describe two selected jurisdictions, namely Cyprus and the Isle of Man. In the third chapter, I show applied examples of using these two jurisdictions and I deal with the question, up from how high earnings before taxes (EBT) it pays off to an entrepreneur from the Czech Republic to use the services of international tax planning. The thesis proves that international tax planning is not financially advantageous for small entrepreneurs with EBT under one million Czech crowns but it already is for entrepreneurs who are able to reach EBT exceeding this amount markedly.

Alcohol on high schoul in region Teplice.
VÁCLAVOVÁ, Petra
This text covers the problem of using and over-using alkohol on the high schools in the Teplice region, especially compares the situation at 3 types of school. The second goal is to examine the motivation factors, the age and the setting of first alcohol experiment and to show how much the possibilities of detoxification are known. The survey was conducted using self-filled questionnaires. The autor concludes, that the most of the students are occasional users. The most popular alcoholik drink among the students is bier. The first experience comes with the age of twelve and a the reason for it is a celebration. The informedness about all the possibilities of detoxification among students is not sufficient. These finding could be used to improve the primarily prevention on the high schools or could lead to a better informedness about alcohol problematics in general and the actual state of it.
