Gillová, Lucie ; Frynta, Daniel (advisor) ; Rexová, Kateřina (referee)
Phylogenetic methods have been used for analysing cultural characters extensively in the last ten years. This bachelor thesis starts with a brief overview and characteristics of the methods used for these analyses and then it deals with all three main fields where these methods have been applied. The first one of them is the analysis of manuscripts and their relations which is unique in that even non-cladistic methods bring usually good results. The second field discussed in this thesis is the anthropological characters, including both artefacts of material culture and various features of social orders. The last one deals with the analysis of languages and language families. In all the chapters, different approaches to different data are listed and the most important studies are described in detail.

Čížkovská, Anna Marie ; Gerloch, Aleš (advisor) ; Tryzna, Jan (referee)
This thesis describes linguistic interpretation in the context of interpretation of law, that is defined either as discipline of law, either as social discipline. In linguistic interpretation plays basic role linguistic interpretation.

Although she admits the opinion of The Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic, that linguistic interpretation is only the first approach to the text, she looks for argumentation that disproves this opinion. She finds one of possible arguments, when she relativizes enumeration of linguistics disciplines, because of pragmatics. Pragmatics as a linguistic discipline is not in this enumeration. The author says, that the reason is, that pragmatics would change meaning and understanding of the linguistic interpretation, bescause of presence of context as a common factor in pragmatics and in the teleological interpretation. The fourth chapter describes legal language as an object of the linguistic interpretation and also as an instrument of lawmakers. Author finds a reason for necessity of the linguistic interpretation in the fact, that lawmakers don't...

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.
