Comparative Analysis of Neologisms in Selected Works of Terry Pratchett and George R. R. Martin
Dragounová, Tereza ; Lancová, Klára (advisor) ; Pípalová, Renata (referee)
The thesis presents a comparison of the neologisms found in selected works of two fantasy series, namely those from the books Last Continent and Jingo (both by Terry Pratchett, they belong to the Discworld series) and A Game of Thrones (by George R. R. Martin, an installment of the A Song of Ice and Fire series). The neologisms gathered from the three books are firstly dealt with separately and subcategorized according to the word-formation processes that were employed in their creation. Subsequently, the data from respective categories in each series are compared with attention paid equally to possible disparities on one hand as well as to significant similarities on the other hand. An attempt at interpreting thus obtained results has been made, mostly with respect to the subgenres of the books and the roles they might have played in the creation of the acquired neologisms. The comparison reveals both differences and similarities, some of them quite striking. The word-formation processes that demonstrate the most intriguing results are compounding and miscellaneous processes, which are utilized to vastly different degrees in each of the series. The other processes display mostly similarity of use or just slight differences. Key words: word-formation process, neologism, comparison

The main topic of this thesis is the development of the Czech language at the time of new media and participative journalism. It tries to discover in which way the language develops, what influences effect the language and which of the foreign languages has the biggest impact on it. All of this is demonstrated within the expressions of the user-created videos on the website, YouTube. The web portal is shortly introduced here as well as an example of the new media. The beauty community which deals with cosmetics, fashion and lifestyle (and it's a widespread group on this portal) has been selected as the sample for demonstrating the language development. Their slang is extensive and it slowly spreads even among viewers of the video content as we can see in the feedback they offer in the comments related to the video. The slang is most usually taken from the English language because it is the first language in which beauty videos originated. Some of the words are just taken from the foreign language and not converted to the Czech language, nevertheless the video authors try to convert some of them. However, the expressing is not just about the language. In the thesis there is also a pragmatic part which focuses on the communication with the viewers and subscribers and the expressing of emotions. The...

The goal is to familiarize the reader with neologisms, in particular with their creation and adaptation in the two languages. On the selected fifteen words we show how the borrowed words are used in both languages and how their integration to the language is similar. In the thesis we have shown the significance of Anglicisms in the languages and the possibilities of their derivatives and adaptation to the given system of the language. The main result of the thesis is a list of words which enables us to observe linguistic tendencies of borrowed words in the past decades. This list enriches the reader with borrowed words that are not so frequent for the reader to know them. The results which we have accomplished will enable us to focus on further research concerning this issue in the future. Key words New vocabulary, foreign words, neologisms, anglicisms, borrowing

Janů, Karel ; Tobrmanová, Šárka (advisor) ; Rubáš, Stanislav (referee)
This thesis examines Josef Jungmann's translation of John Milton's Paradise Lost. Josef Jungmann was one of the leading figures of the Czech National Revival and translated Milton 's poem between the years 1800 and 1804. The thesis covers Jungmann's theoretical model of translation and presents Jungmann's motives for translation of Milton's epic poem. The paper also describes the aims Jungmann had with his translation and whether he has achieved them. The reception Jungmann's translation received after it was published and its significance for the Czech literature is also discussed. This thesis is based on existing works cited in the bibliography and aspires to extend them. Primarily, this thesis focuses on detailed translation analysis of how Jungmann's translation compares prosodically, lexically and stylistically to the original. The main focus of the lexical analysis are neologisms that John Milton introduced in Paradise Lost and aims to find how Jungmann, who is widely considered as one of the foremost innovators of the Czech language, was able to translate them into Czech. There are two key points - lexical correctness and potential inspiration for his neologisms. Key words: Josef Jungmann, John Milton, Czech National Revival, neologisms
