Analysis of Crisis Communication in Retail Chains
Pralovszká, Sára ; Ivan, Michal (advisor) ; Marcelli, Miroslav (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on an analysis of crisis communication in food retail chains, using pragmatic linguistic methods. In the theoretical part I deal with speech acts theory from the viewpoint of John L. Austin and Emile Benveniste, Grice's Cooperative Principles and the Theory of Argumentation. I use all these methods in analyzing press releases published by retail chains in the case of a negative food affair. I am therefore interested in the way those linguistic tools are used by the authors in the press releases in order to communicate most effectively in a time of crisis, so as to prevent the loss of either costumers or the good name of the company. I will also focus on the most frequent mistakes made by the authors of press releases. The aim of my thesis is to find out whether it is possible to find some repetitive mechanisms used in the communication of different crisis topics. The main hypothesis is that although there are different crisis situations which need to be communicated, communication methods used in individual press releases are similar and they often recur. Key words: pragmatics, speech acts, cooperative principles, argumentation, crisis communication, food affair, press release.

Analysis of the current state of information services in the field of theatre arts and their impact on public relations
Procházková, Kateřina ; Vlasák, Rudolf (advisor) ; Dombrovská, Michaela (referee)
With the aid of a "case study" research design, this thesis analyses the typology of informational services, whose prudent application can influence relations of institutions existing within the drama industry with the broader public. The theoretical part sheds light on the problematic definition of "information services", which is placed in the context of online marketing, and introduces ways, in which this term possesses an added value in the form of affecting the applied processes of public relations within particular institutions. Secondly, it includes basic methodological perspectives on quantitative research, the rules of performing case study research as the selected research design, and last but not least, it describes utilised methods of data collection. The last and most key part of the thesis is based on resulting application of the typology of information services, discussed in the previous parts, and concerns itself with the aforementioned question of their influence on public relation processes of individual institutions. These include the information portal divadlo.cz, which serves caters for the domestic sphere of theatre, and an official web presentation of the Divadlo na Zabradli theatre. The analysis is of inductive nature and is not directed by a previously determined...

English as a Lingua Franca in IT Advertising Campaigns
Arutsiunian, Aliaksandra ; Haupt, Jaromír (referee) ; Zmrzlá, Petra (advisor)
Ve 21. století můžeme s jistotou hovořit o významném počtu lidí, kteří používají angličtinu, ať už v každodenní komunikaci, nebo se ji intenzivně učí. Angličtina se stala světovým jazykem vědy, techniky, vzdělávání a podnikání a jako hlavní komunikační nastroj obdržela status Lingua Franca (ELF). Anglický jazyk využívají představitelé různých kultur, a proto se angličtina vyvinula na úroveň nadnárodního jazyka, který propojil vlastnosti různých jazyků a kultur. Ačkoli je výzkum v oblasti ELF stále ještě v počáteční fázi vývoje, pokusím se v této semestrální práci o identifikaci jeho specifických rysů, a to v reklamních kampaních v IT sektoru s využitím tiskových zpráv od předních světových IT společností.

The transformation of the press releases into the media texts
Vlková, Barbora ; Trunečková, Ludmila (advisor) ; Šoltys, Otakar (referee)
The diploma thesis " The transformation of the press releases into the media texts" deals with criteria according to what journalists make decisions, what press release should be included into the news and what should not. Since the present media studies perceive gatekeeping as a broader process of information control involving all aspects of message encoding, therefore not just a selection but also a compilation, a transmition, a formation and the timing of information transmition from a supplier to a recipient, the diploma thesis also pursues the transformation process of a press release into a media text itself. The diploma thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part includes the gatekeeping process analysis, the pseudoevent problems analysis and news production routinization analysis. This chapter summarizes the knowledge to the topic from scholarly literature. The second and the principal part of the diploma thesis is the practical and application part. This part argues a personal and a creative approach to a chosen problem solution. The premediate defined hypothesis are being disproved or approved on the basis of a practical research. The background material for this diploma thesis are the press releases of three private companies (G-PROJECT, s.r.o., The Hlubocko -...

PR and stories for media
Lipovská, Dana
Co je to vlastně PR? "Vztahy s veřejností" se v poslední době stávají více v první řadě "vztahy s novináři". A jak je vlastně nastartovat a udržovat? Chodit s nimi na kafe nebo si je raději držet od těla? Chce to najít tu správnou míru. Ať tak či onak je jedna věc jistá - novináře potřebujete... A dobré PR taky.
