Cause and effect in written Czech of the Czech Deaf
Nedbalová, Žofie ; Richterová, Klára (advisor) ; Macurová, Alena (referee)
This thesis focuses on how the cause and the effect are expressed in the written Czech texts of Czech deaf people (i. e. those, who don't have full access to spoken language due to their hearing loss). The first part of the thesis, based on Czech grammar books, presents the meaning of terms cause and effect, or causal and consequential relationships, and it attempts to summarize the language tools, by which are these relationships expressed in Czech. The second part of the thesis is devoted to the analysis of the texts written by Czech deaf people and attempts to compare the linguistic means used in texts of the deaf people with the linguistic means used by the Czech hearing majority. The analysed material consists of 1 310 statements containing expressions of cause and effect, which are excerpted from texts of 167 deaf authors. The analysed material contains both school assignments, which deaf students provided directly for analysis included in this thesis, and the texts included in the corpus DEAF. The description and analysis of the written texts puts emphasis on linguistic means and ways of expressing cause and effect that differ from the commonly used language and on probable origins of these differences, especially on possible interferences from the Czech Sign Language.

Záhorská, Kateřina ; Hudáková, Andrea (advisor) ; Richterová, Klára (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with dogs employed in the socio-medical field, especially with assistance and hearing dogs. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part the reader is introduced to the categories of dogs employed in this field, their special training (including interested organizations) is described and last but not least appropriate legislative measures are described. Attention is also paid to the situation abroad (in the USA, Great Britain and Slovakia). Information in the theoretical part served as resource for the practical part, which is divided into two units: passportization of dogs which are employed in the socio-medical field in Czech Republic; questionnaire survey among people with hearing loss, who are owners of dogs without special assistance/hearing training. In the conclusion the author uses the previously collected data to search for an answer to a question, whether a dog (even without a special training) can be an assistive device for people with hearing loss. Keywords: Hearing dog, assistance dog, assistive device, deaf, communication

This thesis is focused on the identification of emotional expressions in the human face. The theoretical part includes an introduction to the issue of emotions, the history research on the identification of emotional expressions, the description of the various expressions of basic emotions and their recognition followed with the characteristics of the group of hearing-impaired. In the empirical part the research on the recognition identification of emotions in the face from the portraits is described. The aim of this thesis is to compare the accuracy of identification of emotional expressions among the groups of hearing, deaf and hard of hearing, and their development across all age categories. In my research I focus on the seven basic emotions (fear, anger, sadness, surprise, hapiness, disgust and contempt) and one social emotions (shame). The research did not confirm my assumptions. No statistically significant difference among the three groups in the overall identification of emotional expression was proved. The only difference was in the recognition of disgust which resulted in favor of the hearing. In the general comparison of ages between the hearing impaired (the deaf and the hard of hearing together) any significant differences were not discovered, either. Nevertheless, within each age...

Communication problems of the majority society with a group of deaf
Vaculíková, Zuzana ; Mrkosová, Eva (advisor) ; Hádková, Kateřina (referee)
The topic of the thesis is communication problems of the majority of society and groups of deaf people. Deaf people also live in the majority of hearing society. These people meet each other and they can communicate with each other. This communication is problematic, however, because in the communication of deaf and hearing there are communication barriers. In this thesis, we used a quantitative method of the surveyed hearing respondents. We researched what communication problems exist in the communication of the majority society and a group of deaf people. Based on the methods used, we found that communication problems are mainly caused by a lack of awareness of the major societies of the group of deaf people. In this thesis, we propose to raise awareness of the majority of the hearing society about a group of deaf people, in order to eliminate communication problems. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
