The Importance of Multi-word Expressions in English Language Teaching with Particular Emphasis on Collocations
Sládečková, Dana ; Fleková, Magdalena (referee) ; Perclová, Radmila (advisor)
This thesis has attempted to turn attention to the key importance of teaching multi-word expressions in English language teaching. The theoretical part discussed the status of vocabulary in ELT and defined the relevant linguistic terms, i.e. collocations, phrasal verbs, free phrases and fixed phrases (idioms, lexical phrases). Collocations w^ere given a special part to play in this thesis and hence they were dealt with in depth. This linguistic area was divided into three main categories to help both teachers and students. First, several collocation patterns were established. Second, three possible strengths of collocations were identified and finally the difference between category and word collocations was explained. Moreover, all the categories were provided with illustrative examples. Furthermore, it has been explained that the knowledge of multi-word expressions and particularly collocations is necessary for successful development of students' competence in a foreign language. On one hand, extensive knowledge improves their fluency and accuracy in language production. On the other hand, insufficient knowledge of multi-word expressions might face students with serious difficulties not only in language production, but also in language comprehension.

Distribution and Meaning of the -ák Suffix in Czech Corpora
Goroshko, Vladimir ; Adamovičová, Ana (advisor) ; Starý Kořánová, Ilona (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with theoretical exploration of characteristics pertaining to the Czech suffix -ák and determination of statistical correlations relating to its distribution in Czech language corpora. The problem is approached through a general description of word formation in the Czech language and theoretical attribution of the -ák suffix to semantical and morphological categories and derivation paradigms. Particulars of the -ák suffix, such as homonymy, productivity and expressivity, are being described. Practical research is aimed at comparison of data obtained from the SYN2010 written language corpus and the ORAL2013 spoken language corpus and assessment of their appropriateness for investigation of the modern language. The research has confirmed that corpus data to a large extent conform with theoretical distribution of the suffix, with a few minor exceptions described in the text, and that such distribution shows certain differences between the written and the spoken corpora. Particular attention to univerbisation is paid both in the theoretical and the practical parts. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Acculturation of foreign managers working in Czech Republic
Moravcová, Michaela ; Rymeš, Milan (referee) ; Hermochová, Soňa (advisor)
In the last twenty years, acculturation has been one of the most extensively researched topics in cross-culture psychology. Processes such as globalization and business expansion led to increased importance of cross culture issues, especially those concerned with intercultural aspects in organizations, management strategies and expatriates. In this diploma thesis, attention 1s drawn to acculturation of foreign managers assigned to the Czech Republic. First, relevant terms such as culture ( corporate and national), cross-culture psychology, expatriate and acculturation are defined. In the second part of the paper, the pre-research is described. The aim of the pilot study is to identify the possibilities of further research in the field of acculturation of foreign managers working in the Czech Republic and also to recognize conditions that play a possible role in their acculturation process.

Fantasy and Science-fiction in Novels for Children using German Texts, Working with a Literary Text with Children for Teaching
Sánchezová, Karmen ; Bučková, Tamara (advisor) ; Švermová, Dagmar (referee)
Diese Diplomarbeit besteht aus zwei Teilen, aus dem Theoretischen und aus dem Praktischen. Das Thema der Arbeit lautet Zu den phantastischen und sci-fi Motiven im modernen Kinderroman an den Beispielen des deutschsprachigen Schaffens. Im ersten Teil setze ich mich mit der Tatsache auseinander, ob Anwendung von diesen Motiven eine große Role für die Beliebtheit der Texte spielt, in denen sie benutzt werden. Dann beschäftige ich mich auch damit wie diese Motive von den Kindern wahrgenommen und interpretiert werden. Zuletzt habe ich mir auch die Frage gestellt, wie Texte die diese Motiven beinhalten Kinder im alletäglichen Leben beeinflussen. Das Interessante an diesen Motiven ist vor allem das, dass sie in allen Genrevarianten der Kinderprosa Vorkommen. Sie verursachen in den Texten sogenannte leere Stellen, die dann zur Polyvalenz der Texte fuhren. Deswegen sind diese Texte nicht nur für Kinder sondern auch für Erwachsene interessant. So nähert sich die Kinderliteratur der Allgemeinen. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Methods of exchange rate analysis and an application of the equilibrium exchange rate model on selected currencies
Attendorn, Filip ; Potužák, Pavel (advisor) ; Čermáková, Klára (referee)
The thesis deals with the fundamental analysis of exchange rates of CZK/EUR, GBP/EUR and PLN/EUR. First, the validity of uncovered interest rate parity is tested in the empirical part using the method of least squares. The same econometric method is applied for testing of the validity of the relative version of purchasing power parity. The tested theories are rejected based on the outcome of the empirical models. Another part of the study is estimating the equilibrium exchange rate using the vector autoregression model. The data of inflation, real exchange rate, and interest rate of treasury bills are utilized. The model is statistically significant in case of the Czech Republic and Poland. The real exchange rates of these countries have similar deviations from the equilibrium level in the period before the financial crisis and in at the beginning of the crisis. However, for the UK the model is not statistically significant.
