Poláčková, Iveta ; Kolmaš, Michal (advisor) ; Aslan, Emil (referee)
Diploma thesis is analysing newspapers articles issued between September 2012 and December 2021, and their influence on Chinese citizens. Articles are primarily about dispute of Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands in East China Sea. Author is analysing emotionally coloured words, primarily nouns, adjectives, and verbs which could be found in two most read English-written Chinese newspapers - People's Daily and Global Times. For the analysis of these words, critical discursive analysis was used, primarily works of Norman Fairclough and Paul Kowert. The main question asked by the author is, what kind of language is used in the articles. The hypothesis is that these articles are using emotionally coloured words which can have influence on its readers. In the first part of the diploma thesis, author is dealing with critical discursive analysis, in the second part, author is dealing with the articles, how were they chosen, topics which are included in the articles, and analysis of the words used in them. The author concludes that articles which have been analysed really include emotionally coloured words which can influence their readers.
