The Pronunciation of the Borrowed Words in the French Economic Terminology
HÁJKOVÁ, Aneta
The bachelor thesis is concerned with the pronunciation of loan words from English in contemporary French economic terminology. The principal aim of this thesis is to describe theoretically and analyse phonetic modifications of Anglicisms. These modifications are caused by the process of borrowing. The thesis consists of six chapters and is divided into theoretical part and practical part. The theoretical part was compiled on the basis of technical sources and is concerned with the definition of the loan word and the classification of these loan words. This part also mentions the internationalisms and Anglicisms. In another chapter, the thesis describes general principles of the process of borrowing, trends in borrowing and the most frequent field of borrowing. The theoretical part also focuses on the question of phonetic adaptations of loan words. The practical part pursues the composition of the corpus of Anglicisms used in contemporary economic terminology. This corpus is subsequently analysed from the point of view of the phonetic modifications. The analysis of Anglicisms was accomplished using interviews with native speakers. The results of the analysis are described in the last chapter.

Unpredictable Pronunciation of British Place Names
KOPECKÁ, Eliška
The aim of this thesis is to create a list of British place names which have an unpredictable pronunciation. Their pronunciation is difficult for Czech speakers because they are even less easily derivable from orthography than general words. The focus will be on important localities and if they are localities in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, attention will only be given to their English forms. In addition to the list of British place names, another aim is to identify general tendencies that make the pronunciation of place names different from the pronunciation of the common vocabulary, e.g. on the basis of their etymology.

English Pronunciation of Middle School Children
ŠIMŮNKOVÁ, Radka
The main content of my diploma thesis is Pronunciation of middle school children. The theoretical part deals with the aims of pronunciation teaching. This part concerns the question to what measure the pronunciation is important and whether it is possible to influence it by teaching process. Furthermore, I attended to pronunciation differences between English and Czech sounds and typical mistakes made by Czech pupils. The practical part searches and analyses mistakes in Engish pronunciation made by pupils who have just come to middle school by research scanning. Consequently I suggested several exercises to eliminate some of the ascertained mistakes. At the end, I also practically verified them in school practise and summed them up in my final reflection.
