Author-addressee relationship in art textbooks and its translation from Spanish into Czech
Bulířová, Anna ; Králová, Jana (advisor) ; Ježková, Slavomíra (referee)
The existence of an author and an addressee is inherent to every communicative process. The author and the addressee are considered important stylistic factors, since they determine a great deal the overall composition of the text. When writing his text, the author caters for the expectations and the competence of the addressee, and on the other hand, the addressee receives and interprets his text according to how it is formulated and how it complies with the conventions for the text type in question. The relation between the author and the addressee is reflected in the text and this reflection could be called "polarity". Polarity may be perceived in the composition of the rhetorical perspective, for it is expressed by the use of the second person singular and of the first person singular or plural, by the use of rhetorical questions and exclamatory phrases, by anticipating the reactions of the addressee, etc. The relation between the partners in the communication is governed by norms and since norms do not coincide in all cultures, we have to bear in mind that to render successfully the original and to meet with the expectations of our addressee we have to cross the cultural barrier and adjust the polarity of the text. The present master` s thesis deals with discourse polarity in original Spanish and...

The progress of situation in the area of moist wounds healing evokes a need of taking a think about introduction of changes in specialized nurses' position.

Nonverbal communication focused on gestures accompanying speech.
Bednaříková, Nikola ; Škvařilová, Božena (advisor) ; Blažek, Vladimír (referee)
In this thesis, gesticulation is presented in a context of nonverbal communication. It is likely that gestures preceded the birth of an articulated speech. Nevertheless even in the present, people convey information via gesticulation to their surroundings. This ability can be found at small children, gestures play the role of a speech precursor there. Human language is a codified form of diction. We can see every word as a symbol. The formal layout is available even for gesture communication. This happens in case that gesticulation stands for speech. If you want to share your thoughts via symbols it is relatively complicated. People can present their opinions and thoughts by gestures thought, that they do not have a stable form. These usually accompany a verbal speech. Gesticulation has a significance for both speakers and listeners. Benefits were formulated separately for each of them. It helps the speaker to keep his speech fluent, to decrease the cognitive strain and makes easier for him to formulate ideas, which he can not to express in words. The listener gains information about the topic, that he is told about. On top of this, gestures can express different information, that are not involved in verbal speech. This discrepancy between arm movements and speech is beneficial for both communicating partners.

The importance of František Kutnar for understanding the modern history of Bohemia
Středová, Veronika ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee) ; Maur, Eduard (referee)
The importance of František Kutnar for understanding the modern history of Bohemia consists chiefly in his reception and consequent peculiar development of structuralism. He applied structuralist theses, conceived within Czech scholarly environment of the 30s of the 20th century, while thinking up his own stucturalist-functional approach towards the historic fact. Kutnar's ideas demonstrably stem from domestic inspiration sources, especially from Josef Ludvík Fišer's and Jan Mukařovský's writings, on the other hand he was wondrously anticipating theses of French historians of the first and second generation of the Annales Scholl, mainly of Marc Bloch and Fernand Braudel, eventually, he notably harmonized with their approaches. First features of Kutnar's structuralist-functional approach towards the historic fact can be traced already in his works from the early 40s. In Obrozenecký nacionalismus (1940) we find first formulations concerning the structuralist character of the historical reality, contents, transformations and functions of its individual components. More coherent interpretation can be found in Sociálně myšlenkové tvářnosti obrozenského lidu (1948), where Kutnar expressed his opinion of the structuralist approach towards the historic fact the people. There he pointed out its inner complexity,...

Computational model of continuous speech segmentation process in Czech language
Stehlík, Luděk ; Smolík, Filip (referee) ; Bahbouh, Radvan (referee)
The work discusses questions about the nature of the human mind, the process of language acquisition and the cognitive development in general and presents results of computational modelling of one of the seminal developmentally-psycholinguistic phenomena - segmentation of continuous speech flow on the basis of phonotactic and prosodic cues. In the general part of the work there is at first briefly introduced the philosophical topic of mind-body problem and then there is described intellectual, historical and cognitivelyanthropological background of the computational-representational paradigm which is in the contemporary cognitive science the most prevailing view of the human mind treating the mental life as a kind of computation in the sense of manipulation and transformation of syntactic structures. There are in detail introduced two competing interpretations of this statement in the form of physical symbol system hypothesis and connectionism which differ primarily about the opinion on how far from the level of ordinary thought and concepts we should look for the formal rules specifying mental computation. There are also mentioned two alternative theories in the form of dynamic (or embodied) cognitive science and theory of distributed cognition according to which the nature of intelligence doesn't lie...
