NEWSPAPER HEADLINES IN THE LIGHT OF PRAGMATIC LINGUISTICS
Zicháčková, Adéla ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (referee)
- Zicháčková Abstract In the bachelor thesis named Newspaper headlines in the light of pragmatic linguistics the newspaper healines are considered to be individual but indispensable parts of newspaper articles. My thesis presents them closely connected with the following text. I am interested in the meanings behind the words. We do not usually pay attention to those meanings but we perceive them and they influence us. There exist some hidden manipulative techniques as well. My work tries to reveal them. My thesis consists of four major chapters. The first chapter is an introduction to newspaper headlines. The second chapter is dedicated to structuralism (without structuralism we cannot continue to pragmatics). The third chapter is focused on pragmatics as well as the concepts of the Gricean maxims or intertextuality. And in the final chapter I deal with the pragmatic analysis. My thesis is based on many books and scientific articles. I analyze three daily newspapers: Blesk, Mladá fronta DNES and Hospodářské noviny.

Diploma thesis, Analysis of publicistic columns specifically focused on politically aimed commentary, treats of attitude of authors of publicistic columns about political parties or eventually to politicians. The aim of this work is to describe the ways and means of expressing authors use to formulate their position, focusing on these within Pravo's and Mladá fronta DNES's print-outs from January 2010 to June 2010 so mainly in months before the elections. The first part presents modern development of approach to language and text. That should elucidate how the pragmatic way of language examination has begun. In the practical part I applied the approach to language and text, as listed above, and I applied the pragmatic analysis. Qualitative analysis of publicistic columns examines inclination of authors to left-wing or right-wing parties, mostly to ODS or ČSSD. It is possible to deduce what authors criticize within the frame of the whole political situation. This work also examines, what means authors of publicistic articles use to profess affection or aversion to particular politician or political party. This diploma thesis forms compendium of publicistic texts in chosen journals and characterizes the conception which reflects their relation to politics.

Průšová, Pavlína ; Rýparová, Dominika (advisor) ; Mareš, Petr (referee)
Integration of catch-phrases of Jara Cimrman's plays into the everyday communication This bachelor thesis deals with a usage of catch-phrases from the Jára Cimrman Theatre plays in the context of our everyday conversation. In the theoretical part it explains fundamental basic terms, discusses the communication in general, defines common conversation. Furthermore, the text discusses the comic and its forms and briefly introduces the Jára Cimrman Theatre and its unique poetics. In the end of this part are presented conclusions about knowledge of these catch-phrases among common Czech speakers. The research answers three questions: What was the trigger to use the catch-phrase? What was the speaker's intention? What kind of influence the catch-phrase had on the listeners and the situation as a whole? Research questions are answered based on the method of participant observation and the results have shown that the main triggers are similarity of the communicative situation, linked meanings of the situation in a play and in reality or specific use of words. Speaker's meaning is the most often to entertain the addressees or to downplay the situation. This usually corresponds with the real effect of the catch-phrase usage. However, very important role plays the knowledge of the plays of Jara Cimrman - the better...

The Semantic web was created for a purpose of conceptualization data available on the Internet. Through formalized representations, that are determined for data sharing and reusing, should have been its vision realized. Main aims of Semantic web are high exactness and relevance for searching question. The controversy and polysemy of the term "Semantic web" let us consider the question: "Where is the limit of involving semantic aspects provided on Semantic web?" Is it not only the amount of determinations of specific standards that are connected with data itself? The main aim of this thesis is the comparison of using terms on the Semantic web in semantic metadiscourse with traditional academic semiotics approaches appeared from pragmatic of Ch. S. Peirce, Ch. W. Morris and H. P. Grice. The thesis should help with mapping the problematic area that is connected with using terms like "meaning" and "understanding" and clarify the possibilities of the function of the Semantic web based on the semiotics conceptions.
