Kuželová, Markéta ; Chejnová, Pavla (advisor) ; Šmejkalová, Martina (referee)
The topic of the thesis is to monitor differences in communication between men and women. The theoretical part summarizes the information about communication in general and outlines the differences in communication between men and women. The empirical part is based on interview. We examine possible differences of verbal communication between men and women with university education. Following characteristics were examined: formality, expressions, vulgar, addressing, topics, and the role in communication and interruptions. The results provide information about relatively specific differences in verbal communication between men and women. It was found that men use significantly more technical terms, use more vulgar words, while women choose such expressions exeptionally. Men do not interrupt the other speaker, women interrupt in more than 50% cases.. The results confirm previously published findings on this topic.

Švarcová, Michaela ; Šmejkalová, Martina (advisor) ; Pišlová, Simona (referee)
In this thesis we have tried to analyse 35 different tests, which make our entrance examination specimen sets for Year 5, 7 and 9. Some schools use the services of the 'Scio' company thus these tasks represent 52 written examinations from the subject of Czech language and literature. According to our findings the main emphasis of the tests is put on the lingual parts of the curriculum, especially on orthography. The applicants distinguish the sentences, in which there are (or are not) orthographic errors. They proof to have managed the lexical, morphological and syntactic orthography in simple and complex sentences well, primarily by correction and doing filling-in exercises. Apart from that, the tasks where the applicants have to work with text are used very often. They primarily decide whether the information given results from the particular passage, they examine the verity of the submitted statements about an article, etc. From the linguistic curriculum, the word class and the sentence constituents occur abundantly. Very often the applicant's competence regarding grammatically correct word forms are being tested - the pupils might create or recognize them or complete a part of the text. In many tests, we can find tasks in which the applicants search for synonyms (or antonyms) of Czech originated or...

Complex Linguistic Analysis of Jáchym Topol's novel Sestra
Tlamicha, Miloslav ; Janovec, Ladislav (advisor) ; Šmejkalová, Martina (referee)
The thesis deals with the analysis of individual linguistic levels of Topol's novel Sestra. The distinctive features appear above all on the level of phonology, where there is a wide scale of possible variations, rooting from both formal and informal spheres of Czech. What is also significant is the level of lexicology, since Topol tends to use not only Czech lexemes, but also his own neologisms as well as words from other languages. The variety of the hypersyntactic level is strongly influenced by the narrative situation, which is based on multiple narrators and recipients. The individual linguistic actualisations are of great importance for of the overall end of the text.

The verbal expression of Christian symbols in The First Old-Church-Slavonic Legend of St. Wenceslas
Hoppová, Veronika ; Palkosková, Olga (advisor) ; Šmejkalová, Martina (referee)
The thesis presents a philosophically-linguistic analysis of the most prominent Christian symbols in The First Old-Church-Slavonic Legend of St. Wenceslas. The main focus of this study lies in the symbolism of biblical characters, body part denomination, titles and ways of addressing in both religious and secular environment, Christian life phenomena and sacraments, as well as the symbolism of numbers. The linguistic part concentrates mostly on morphology, monitoring especially the manifestations of the classic Old Church Slavonic (excluding the influence of other languages etc.). Numerous changes of the Old-Church-Slavonic morphology (alterations and development of noun suffixes or the development of verb forms), signs of tabooing with some words and symbols, and the influence of the late transcription, in which the legend survived, have been detected during the analysis. Scribal mistakes also play a certain role in the text. In conclusion, The First Old-Church-Slavonic Legend of St. Wenceslas has been found symbolically rich, on the whole making the impression of an extensive prayer, which emphasises its symbolic character even more.

Ortography and lexis of a journey from Prague to Venice... Book of travels by Oldřich Prefát of Vlkanov
Kafka, Jan ; Šmejkalová, Martina (referee) ; Mališ, Otakar (advisor)
In dieser Diplomarbeit versuchte ich die Ortographie und das Vokabular der von Oldřich Prefát von Vlkanov verfassten Reisebeschreibung detailliert zu qualifizieren und dadurch das bisherige nur peripherische Interesse der Forscher ftir die sprachliche Form dieses Werkes zu überwinden. In der Einleitung handelte ich unter anderem die interessante Persönlichkeit dieses böhmisches Humanisten im allgemeinen ab. Seine exakte Neigung ist ebenfalls der Prinzip der g anzen Reisebeschreibung. A ußerdem schrieb i ch dort über seine Reise nach heiligem Land und über derzeitige Zustände in diesem Gebiet, weil die Kenntnis der sprachlichen und kulturellen Bedingungen in Palestina und der ganzen Mittelmeer-Region in der Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts der richtigen Auffassung von verschiedenen Niveaus des Vokabulars von diesem Text sehr gut dient. Das Erste von den zwei Hauptthemen ist die Ortographie in der e rsten A uflage der Reisebeschreibung aus dem Jahre 1563. Diese Ortographie spiegelt sich im wesentlichen auch in der dritte Auflage von der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die kunstsinnige und dokumentarische Qualität der graphischen Form in der ersten Auflage liegt stellenweise sehr hoch. An der anderen Seite gibt es dort viele Druckfehler. Der Schwerpunkt des Ortographie g ewidmeten T eils der Diplomarbeit liegt in einer...
