Czech and Moravian signs - regional dialect of deaf people
Vojnarová, Magdalena ; Macurová, Alena (advisor) ; Okrouhlíková, Lenka (referee)
Svoji práci jsem se rozhodla zaměřit na výzkum českého znakového jazyka, konkrétně na znaky Neslyšících 1 , jež se liší ve svém užití podle své regionální odlišnosti. Jinými slovy, na porovnání odlišné artikulace českých a moravských znaků. Proč mě toto téma zaujalo? Hlavním důvodem je nedostatek literatury o slovní zásobě českého znakového jazyka v České republice. Ve slyšící společnosti navíc panuje o znakovém jazyce mnoho mýtů. Jedním z nich je například představa, že Neslyšící se na celém světě dorozumívají prostřednictvím jednoho znakového jazyka. Že existuje jakýsi mezinárodní znakový jazyk. To je ale velký omyl! Neslyšící (podle toho, ve kterém státě žijí) mají své národní znakové jazyky (britský znakový jazyk, americký znakový jazyk, český znakový jazyk, atd.). Jsou to jazyky vizuálně-motorické povahy, které jsou na mluvených národních jazycích nezávislé. Znakové jazyky jsou produkovány pohyby rukou a horní části těla, existují v prostoru a jsou vnímány zrakem. Mají stejné nebo podobné prostředky pro vyjadřování gramatických kategorií (např. mimika, klasifikátory). Liší se pak zejména svojí znakovou zásobou. Vzhledem k tomu, že tedy vykazují podobné povahové rysy, můžeme o nich uvažovat jako o jazycích, které náleží do jedné jazykové rodiny.

Kotková, Šárka ; Okrouhlíková, Lenka (advisor) ; Hudáková, Andrea (referee)
(anglicky): The bachelor thesis discusses a topic of specific learning disabilities in hearing-impaired children, therefore deaf and hard of hearing children. The aim of the paper is to describe the current state of research in the area of specific learning disabilities in hearing-impaired and to map the current approach to these children in special education centres in Czech Republic. For mapping of the current work with hearing-impaired children with specific learning disabilities the results of a research are used. The research was carried out through interviews with several special education centres' employees. The analysis of the interviews showed that work procedures used with this population in Czech Republic are not very elaborate and unified. Diagnostic methods and approaches to education of deaf and hard of hearing children with specific learning disabilities are largely dependent on individual centers. Klíčová slova (anglicky): deaf, hard of hearing, hearing-impaired, specific learning disabilities, diagnostics, hearing-impaired child, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dysortographia, special education centre
