Critical Edition of Selected Christmas Songs of V. K. Holan Rovenský
Böhmová, Veronika ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (advisor) ; Martínek, František (referee)
The thesis proposes a commented critical edition of five songs from the Christmas part of the Capella regia musicalis hymnal (Knihopis 1458), edited by Karel Holan Rovenský and published by Jiří Laboun the elder. The attempt to apply interdisciplinary linguistic-musicological approach results in an outcome that reflects the relation between language and music. However, the main focus of the thesis lies in the language characterization of the edited texts. Its main goal is to contribute to the scientific research of the baroque language in hymnography production and to make the songs accessible to the general public.

Ostrýžová, Martina ; Dittmann, Robert (advisor) ; Martínek, František (referee)
The M.A. thesis explores the dialect of the village Vír, which is situated in Czech-Moravian boundary dialectal area. The exploration focuses on selected features from phonetics and phonology and morphology, specified on the basis of isoglosses described in the Český jazykový atlas (Czech Dialect Atlas) or in older publications. The research of features followed is based on interviews with old generation informants, which is delimited in accordance with the Czech Dialect Atlas as speakers older than 65. The audiorecordings were further processed, the material was transcribed according to standard rules for dialectological transcription. A comparison with standard works of Czech dialectology (such as Běličʼs Nástin české dialektologie, Český jazykový atlas, Utěšenýʼs Nářečí přechodného pásu česko-moravského. Hláskosloví) shows that the oldest generation speakers in Vír still keep some of the typical traits of the Czech-Moravian dialectal group while other such features are retreating. Key words: Czech-Moravian dialectal group, old generation, local dialect, Vír

Novotná, Gabriela ; Veroňková, Jitka (advisor) ; Martínek, František (referee)
The topic of this diploma thesis belongs to the field of language acquisition and language learning. It aims to explore Czech as a second and foreign language of speakers whose mother tongue is German, namely concerning the pronunciation of the r-sound and its perceptual acceptability for Czech native speakers. The theoretical part summarizes the area of pronunciation learning and acquisition in a second and foreign language and outlines various pronunciation difficulties German speakers tend to have in Czech. It deals with the rhotics in general and subsequently focuses on the r- sound, both in Czech and in German, as well as in mutual comparison. In the last chapter, the combinatorial qualities of the r-sound which are used as a basis for the practical part are discussed. The practical part describes the conducted research. Five recordings of German students were collected. The students were staying in Prague for one semester with the Erasmus programme exchange and were learning Czech for the first time. For the recordings a written text was constructed which the students read individually. The text emphasized words including the r-sound. From the recordings, various key words were cut off and a perceptual test was compiled and given to Czech native speakers to evaluate the pronunciation of the...

Linguistic and Graphical Analysis of a Manuscript Handbook of Wedding Speeches from the Beginning of the 18th Century
Valentová, Gabriela ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (advisor) ; Martínek, František (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyses a manuscript book of wedding speeches from the beginning of the 18th century in terms of graphics and language. It aims to evaluate the linguistic level of a non-elite user of the Czech language in the vernacular environment of the High Baroque period. For the purpose of the analysis, a complete translation of the manuscript being studied is carried out first. On this basis, graphic elements and phenomena from all basic linguistic levels are selected, which are then compared with the relevant literature of contemporary bohemistics and selected period grammar manuals. The relevance to the period's linguistic usage is evaluated taking into account the available lexical databases. On the basis of the analysis of relevant graphic and linguistic elements, the manuscript handbook of wedding speeches can be regarded as evidence of the use of period standard language in a very sophisticated form, which only sporadically reflects elements of the spoken language. Keywords: history of Czech language, Early Modern manuscript, language analysis, orthography

Expressive Word Formation in Journalism and Correspondence of Karel Havlíček
Kroupová, Karolína ; Martínek, František (advisor) ; Adam, Robert (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with expressive word formation in lexicon of Karel Havlíček. The research was based on corpus analysis, the source of material being the corpus of Havlíček's journalism and, marginally, the corpus of his correspondence. The first part of the paper describes expressivity and journalistic style and briefly introduces Havlíček as a journalist, summarizing relevant findings from the literature. The second part is devoted to the corpus analysis, focused on search of inherently expressive lexicon and its subsequent description with regard to the context of use (e.g. irony, etc.). The analysis covers diminutives of nouns and adjectives as well as expressive words formed by the suffixes -ina and -ácký. The paper also reflects Stich's research on neologisms and confronts it with the records found in the corpora.

Commented Edition of the Manuscript Tale Black Johnny or Axle Grease Seller enchanted In the Old Ruined Castle Radyně above Plzenec
Matoušová, Tereza ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (advisor) ; Martínek, František (referee)
1 Abstract This thesis deals with a handwritten manuscript from the turn of the 18th century called Cžerneg Honza a neb. w Starim zbořenim Zámku Raďiňie. Nad Plzencem Zaklený Kolomaznjk and which elaborates a myth about the Radyně castle from the Pilsen region in the short-story-form. The first part presents a transliterated edition of the text by preserving the original orthography. The second part of the thesis analyses the orthography of the manuscript by building upon the preceding section. It focuses on the structure of the text, punctuation, spelling of consonants and vowels and briefly mentions rare ways of writing proper nouns and the use of capital letters. The analysis situates the orthography of the manuscript into a certain time period and, in the end, it establishes whether the manuscript belongs to the printers' or the scribal orthography. Alternatively, it evaluates whether the written orthography tends to resemble the printers' orthography. In the third section, the transcribed edition of the manuscript is introduced, using the current orthography. This edition makes the text accessible to a broader circle of contemporary readers. Apart from the transcription rules and the list of emendations, the editorial apparatus also incorporates a vocabulary with words, which could possibly be...
