Pavlátová, Andrea ; Blahůtová Kavanová, Klára (referee) ; Havlíček, Tomáš (advisor)
The Development of Tibetan Cultural and Religious Identity among Tibetans Living outside of Historical Tibet The topic of my thesis was to find out changes in Tibetan society inside Tibet and in Tibetan exile in last 50. years and how do changes help to progress social capital. Inside Tibet is problem with high percent of nonliterary and high percent of incoming Han people, which cause that Tibetan people are getting on the edge of society, because they didn't have developed their human potential. The main problem is that Tibetan people don't know Chinese language well and this language is becoming more useful for daily life in Tibetan autonomous region. Tibetans, who are very religious, don't have opportunity to practice Tibetan Buddhism under communistic rule of Chine. Tibetans have to renounce His Holiness dalajlama and deny part of their Tibetan identity. Those reasons influence them to escape into exile. The second part of my thesis is concerned to describe push and pull factors of migration. As I found in materials, the main reasons to escape into exile were political, religion, education, economical problems and renounce dalajlama. In my research, Tibetan didn't divide those reasons to those categories, because they think of those problems in holistic way. The last part of thesis in...

A Language-based Analysis of the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
Baxová, Barbora ; Podhajská, Eva (advisor) ; Bučková, Tamara (referee)
Jazyková analýze deníku "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" byla prováděna na rovině slova, věty a stylu. K této analýze byly vybrány tři výtisky deníku s daty: 11. ledna, 27. června a 19. října 2003, které byly zvoleny tak, aby rovnoměrně pokryly celý rok 2003. V těchto výtiscích byla vždy analyzována úvodní strana politické části (tj. titulní strana deníku) a první strana fejetonu. Zkoumaný korpus vytvořilo šest vybraných stran severoněmeckého formátu. U substantiv byl prokázán pouze omezený výskyt složenin a zkratkových slov, což popírá současnou tendenci německého jazyka tvoření zkratek. Velice zřídka se v textu vyskytují tzv. okasionalismy. Pokud jsou v textu zkratková slova, pak v případě, že by jejich význam nebyl srozumitelný, jsou hned za slovem vysvětlena v závorkách. Zkratková slova se v politické části deníku vyskytují zpravidla ve složeninách, které obsahují název politické strany. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Usage and meaning of extinct Germanic languages in the novels of J. R. R. Tolkien
Kales, Josef ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Matuchová, Klára (referee)
About 450 anthroponyms and toponyms associated with the English literary works The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are either borrowed from or etymologically (mostly as asterisk names) located into difference languages other than English as the reference language. This huge figure includes names from earlier versions of the narrative and excludes a huge number of proper names in wholly distinct Tolkien's invented tongues (actually several hundred), a few dozen elements pertaining to older stages of English as early as the Middle English period and more than 60 names from Classical languages and as a whole based on generic or botanical names, which, technically, are not proper names from extinct languages.

Problematics of Creole languages: example of Capverdian Creole
Pelant, Matyáš ; Tláskal, Jaromír (referee) ; Jindrová, Jaroslava (advisor)
Hlavním tématem této diplomové práce je problematika kreolštin portugalského základu - jejich vymezení vzhledem k ostatním jazykům a hlavně jazyku základu - portugalštině. Ukázali jsme, že tendencí moderní lingvistiky je vnímant kreolštiny obecně jako samostatný jazykový systém. Studium teoretických prací nám ukazuje výjimečnost kreolštin, zejména při jejich vzniku, a představuje nám rozsáhlou terminologii, která tyto jazyky popisuje. Právě proto, že je někdy obtížné z čistě jazykového hlediska určit přesný rozdíl mezi pidžinem a kreolštinou, zdá se nám základní terminologie kreolistiky pro popis kreolštin nezbytná. Kreolštiny portugalského základu, které jsme představili, jsou stále významné, zejména v africké oblasti. V Asii jsme byli svědky dekreolizace či vymizení kreolštin. Také jsme ukázali, že se jedná o velmi rozsáhlou oblast, která nabízí mnoho témat nejen pro kreolistiku, jazykovědu jako takovou a její pro příbuzné obory (hlavně sociolingvistika), ale i pro historii (historie osídlování, otrokářského systému, vztah jazyka a historie apod.) či etnologii Gazykjako významná charakteristika komunit). Na příkladu kabuverdianu jsme sledovali jednotlivé rysy, které jsou typické pro kreolské jazyky. Srovnávali jsme její systém s portugalštinou, protože se jedná o jazyk, se kterým je kabuverdianu stále v...

Kučerová, Tereza ; Kucharská, Anna (advisor) ; Špačková, Klára (referee)
A b s t r a c t This thesis is a part of the project concerning risk factors of manifestation of specific learning disabilities in children at risk of dyslexia. Specifically, it deals with the development of morphology in children with family history of specific learning disabilities. Children in preschool and early school age have been repeatedly within three years tested with a diagnostic tool called Test of morphological awareness based on the Test of language (Žlab, 1992). The aim of the study was to map the development of several sub-areas of morphological skills (gender forms, plural nouns, past tense and 3rd person singular verb, adjectives derivation and grammatical agreement). Several issues were concerned. First, whether the development of children in this age group is still ongoing and so if the performance is improving. Second, whether there are differences in the development of children from an intact group (with normal speech development) and a risk group (children from families where at least one parent has suffered from specific learning disabilities). Third, whether is the development influenced by intelligence or sex. Performance of children was also assessed qualitatively with respect to specific language features included in the monitored areas of morphology. The conclusions of each...
