Bulejčíková, Petra ; Oliva, Karel (advisor) ; Hrdlička, Milan (referee) ; Škodová, Svatava (referee)
The dissertation analyses the stratification of Czech in terms of teaching Czech as a foreign language. The general theoretical part relates to teaching Czech as a foreign language or other foreign languages as close as possible. This part also includes the analysis of recordings of authentic communication between Czech speakers and foreigners. The findings of the analysis are subsequently applied to the sample plans of teaching units. The introductory part deals with the history and development of the theory of the standard Czech language and it also presents the attitudes held by the members of the Prague Linguistic Circle, which were published in Spisovná čeština a jazyková kultura (Czech Literary Language and Culture) in 1932.

The impetus behind this research is the long-standing requirement for linguistic examination to pay attention not only to the language of adults, but also to that of pupils and students. From the viewpoint of pedagogy, it establishes the extent to which the speech of children and youth features typical morphological tendencies of contemporary Czech, from the viewpoint of linguistics, it verifies the extent to which schooling manages to fulfill one of the crucial goals of linguistic education, i.e. appropriation of the standardized form of national language.

Augustinová, Tereza ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Kučera, Štěpán (referee)
This Bachelor Thesis focuses on analysis of codified pronunciation of TV news' professional speakers on the CT 1. This public service medium was chosen because it guarantees a high level of the language skills in its codes and there is expected that the professional speakers on the CT1 will be an example in speech for their audience. The fundamental object of this Thesis is to analyze the status of Colloquial Stan-dard Czech and Standard Czech in the actual media discourse. This Thesis reflects a discussion about the status of Common Czech. The Bachelor Thesis deals with the causes of this discussion and outlines the consequences that would be due to the role of Common Czech like a prestigious national variety. In the theoretical part there is a summary of basic terms and contexts that refer to the topic of this thesis. The practical part contains the description of analysed materials and the analysis' process. The analysis reveals the speech imperfections on the back-ground of the orthoepic norm and describes theirs possible causes and consequences. The most occurred unnormalized phenomenas were divergences in quality and quantity of vowels, unnormalized releases of consonants' connections, such as an as-similation to a contiguous segment or assimilation at a distance. There were found in-correct...

Yamamoto, Emi ; Adamovičová, Ana (advisor) ; Hudousková, Andrea (referee)
Particles in the Spoken Czech have been underestimated as a subject of research which have not been studied enough, even though the figures of the Prague Spoken Corpus (PSC) show that every 8 word in Spoken Czech is particle on average. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze particles compiled by PSC; the research of particles has been done both statistically and with respect to another characteristics of classification by sociolinguistic parameter, character, valency and function.
