The Pragmatics of English Tag Questions in Translation
Urešová, Miroslava ; Jettmarová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Hoffmannová, Jana (referee)
This thesis explores the pragmatics of English tag questions in translation by analyzing their pragmatic function. Our approach is based on the theoretical assumption that Czech lacks straightforward linguistic counterparts of English tag questions. The quantitative and qualitative corpus-based research strives to produce interesting findings about possible relations between pragmatic function, polarity and the form of tag questions in English, original Czech and translated Czech texts. Therefore, we propose and verify several hypotheses about these relations. This thesis broadens theoretical knowledge about tag questions by contributing to research on translation universals and improves translation practice by presenting translators with a paradigm, i.e., a class of possible solutions to the problem of translating English tag questions into Czech.

On-line annotation editor with audio visualization
Dorotovič, Viktor ; Herout, Adam (referee) ; Szőke, Igor (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to create a web-based annotation editor, which displays the audio waveform alongside the transcribed text. A waveform viewer library was developed, which uses HTML5 canvas elements for rendering. The library allows scrolling and zooming of the waveform. Annotations are directly marked in the audio and the position of the transcribed text is synchronised with their location. The end goal is to replace an existing editor with the one being created. Therefore, a usability test was conducted to compare the two. The time needed to learn to use the application and to transcribe a short recording was reduced by 20%. The waveform viewer library was released under an open-source license.
