German and Czech in language policy conflict. A comparative analysis of discourse on the Badeni language decree of 1897
Syrovátková, Adéla ; Vachková, Marie (advisor) ; Povejšil, Jaromír (referee) ; Heinemann, Margot (referee)
This dissertation employs the principles of linguistic discourse analysis. Discourse as a social praxis is examined in an historical context. The thesis falls in the domain of external language evolution and is based particularly on the erudition of historical sociolinguistics and pragmatics. The language behavior of Germans and Czechs is documented and comparatively analyzed against the backdrop of a governmental language policy decree which caused a political crisis in Bohemia in 1897. The research draws upon the persuasive political discourse in the daily press from both nationally-minded Germans and Czechs. The whole of the research is the examination of three specific types of content distilled thereof: autostereotypes, heterostereotypes, and perspectives on the "Bohemia issue". Catchwords contained therein are identified and assessed from a perspective of semasiological and onomaseological competition. Further examinations are conducted based upon argumentation strategies through which suggested topoi patterns are analyzed to elucidate their group specification and function, a key aspect of which is the semantic analysis of the values and norms of involved parties (the principles of New Rhetoric). The supporting matter is further subjected to analysis of the linguistic devices used in the expression...

Cooperation of Region financial center with small and medium-sized businesses
MATUŠOVÁ, Dita
Small and medium sized businesses play an important part in functioning economy. Due to the current economy crisis, enterpreneurs have to reevaluate their ecomonic strategies in order not only to remain prosperous, but to try to expand as well. Therefore it is important for them to choose the right banking institution that can satisfy their needs. Poor selection of bank product could cause financial burden for the business and would not meet the original expectations. The aim of this dissertation is to identify the hidden potential of the regional financial centre of the Poštovní spořitelna Bank in Ceske Budejovice (PSB), in order to get new clients amongst small and medium sized businesses. First, based on the findings in the questionnaire and business environment analysis, this dissertation will try to analyze certain PSB products for small and medium sized businesses. Secondly, to analyze the interest and demand of the businesses, their number and layout in South Bohemia, especially in Ceske Budejovice region. The above mentioned questionnaire and business environment analysis confirmed that small and medium sized businesses are not much aware of the PSB{\crq}s products, and therefore the use of them is rather poor. The solution may be a certain way of closer communication with small and medium sized businesses. Building this type of communication is dependant on regional marketing budget and thus not easy, due to the limited resources. The final decision maker in this case is the regional bank director. The PSB will cooperate with Association of small and medium sized businesses as well as with the South Bohemian Economic Chamber, and also will advertise in regional press.
