Kazdová, Tereza ; Kratochvílová, Dana (advisor) ; Čermák, Petr (referee)
(English) Interactional Alignment and Structural Priming in Spanish This research paper investigates the two phenomena, interactional alignment and structural priming, in colloquial conversation in Spanish, applying the theoretical framework of cognitive linguistics. The first part serves as an introduction to cognitive linguistics, presenting some fundamental ideas of this theory and providing definitions of a few key terms, such as conceptualization, construal and intersubjectivity, which set the ground for the study of interactional alignment and structural priming. Next, some general human behavioural tendencies relative to imitation and interpersonal coordination are introduced to put verbal communication into a more holistic perspective. The theoretical part concludes with a detailed account of interactional alignment and structural priming. The practical part of this paper comprises an analysis of ten conversations extracted from Val.Es.Co, a corpus of colloquial Spanish. The analysis focuses on the repetition of lexical items and syntactic structures with the aim of demonstrating that interactional alignment and structural priming play a part in spontaneous conversation. Besides, the purpose of this study is to investigate how these phenomena add to the smoothness of a dialogue, promote...

Low-rise apartment buildings in Řečkovice
Kazdová, Tereza ; Žalmanová,, Petra (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The goal of this bachelor's thesis was to design a low-rise apartment building in Řečkovice district, Brno, which would be used for elderly housing. The land on which the building is planned to be located is currently densely overgrown with greenery, but there are two buildings planned to be built in the eastern part of the land already. The bachelor's thesis deals with the design of the western part of the land. The design consists of one four-story building containing 25 separate housing units, each for one to two residents. Each apartment has its own balcony facing either the private or the public part of the garden. In addition, social areas and other services for seniors are designed to be in the building. The design includes cutting down the overgrown vegetation on the property and designing a small park for gatherings. This bachelor's thesis is based on the studio of architectural creation from the second academic year.

Discourse Markers ¿eh?, ¿no?, ¿sabes? in Spanish and Their Equivalents in Czech and Slovak
Kazdová, Tereza ; Kratochvílová, Dana (advisor) ; Smažíková, Adéla (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis deals with the Spanish discourse markers ¿eh?, ¿no?, ¿sabes? and explores their equivalents in Czech and Slovak. It consists of two parts, a theoretical one and a practical one. The theoretical part relies on Spanish and Czechoslovak respective traditions of stylistics and is focused on the conversational style. The aim of the practical part is initially to identify Czech and Slovak equivalents of the Spanish discourse markers in question in parallel text corpora InterCorp and par-skes-1.0, characterize the most common translation variants and evaluate their frequency. Consequently, the Spanish discourse markers together with their Czech and Slovak equivalents are analysed in spontaneous speech in spoken corpora Val.Es.Co, ORAL_v1 and s-hovor-6.0.
