Michal, Petr ; Švelch, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Reifová, Irena (referee)
In this paper, we look at a media controversy that took effect at the release of the third game of the Mass Effect videogame series. The fans hated the ending of the game and demanded the publisher change it, which later happened. The fans have thus been given a certain amount of power and influence that wasn't too standard. The first part of the paper deals with videogame theory - we talk about the expressive power of videogames and how it can influence people. With the help of Henry Jenkins and Pierre Lévy we then showcase several media theories which attempt to explain the relationship between the fans, authors and content. Central to this paper is a qualitative research of chosen internet forum posts where we have attempted to learn the reasons for the fans' outrage. In the summary, we summarize what we have learned so far and attempt to put it all together.

The Dog in Linguistic Picture of the World in Czech
Prokšová, Hana ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Bozděchová, Ivana (referee)
I. Abstract This paper is based on the theoretical principes of the Polish ethnolinguistic works introduced in the first part of this paper. We pay special attention to the theory of anthropocentrism of a natural language. The main focus of this theory is the differentiation between "one's own" and "human" on one side and "someone else's" and "non-human"on the other in a cognitive comprehension of the world. We further apply the anthropocentric approach to outline the conceptualization of domestic animals in the Czech language. The second part of the text deals with the expression pes (‚dog') in Czech and its derivatives, their position within the lexical system, their semantics, connotations and the stereotypes associated with them. The conclusion presents a cognitive definition of the concept pes (‚dog') in Czech. The definition builds upon the entry structure of the Polish Dictionary of Folk Stereotypes and Symbols.

After the introduction come individual analyses of the magazines. At the end of the thesis the author pays attention to phenomena which are typical for magazines of that kind or which appear throughout all selected magazines. The author applied an interdisciplinary point of view because it is not possible to abstract away from philosophical and psychological linguistic disciplines (semantics, psycholinguistics, and pragmatics). The work puts special emphasis on the lexical level but it does not avoid morphological and stylistic phenomena. The syntactic level is dealt with representatively in one girl's and one women's magazine because the syntactic level of other magazines does not differ much from what has been written within the chosen titles. Except for the linguistic levels, the verbal and non-verbal communication on title pages have also been taken into consideration. In the...
