Palacky fell out of the ATM or Where the proper name begins and ends from the point of view of capitalization
Smejkalová, Kamila
Capital letters in Czech indicate a proper name. However, distinguishing a proper name from a common one can challenging, as evidenced by the number of capitalization enquiries answered by the Language Consulting Center (LCC) of the Czech Language Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CLI). In addition, the status of a proper name is not immutable. Th e name may go through an appellativization process (uppercase letter changes to lowercase) or proprialization process (lowercase letters become uppercase). Th is text deals with appellativization in connection with the spelling and with legal consequences of this process, as well as with other naming types that appear to be problematic for Czech users in terms of capitalization. Telephone, letter, and e-mail inquiries of the LCC, which are annotated in the electronic Database of Language Enquiries on the CLI website, are used as material.

Development of the contemporary Czech from the point of view of the terms centre and periphery
Smejkalová, Kamila ; Nebeská, Iva (advisor) ; Hladká, Zdeňka (referee) ; Adam, Robert (referee)
The theme of this dissertation is a concept of centre and periphery in the description of the systém of language. We deal with theoretical issues of this concept, we analyze particular aspects, that are connected with it (dynamics, fuzzy boundaries of categories, vagueness etc.), its position among other language universals, and its use in the theory of language culture. We demonstrate, that the beneficial effect of this concept lies is manifested in the presence of same of its aspects in the theoretical ground of following linguistic schools, e. g. fuzzy grammar, semantic fields, and most importantly the theory of prototypes, based on the cognitive psychology, that was adopted by the cognitive linguistics. Also, we pay attention to the application of the centre and periphery in the description of the chosen linguistic phenomena and particular developmental tendencies of the contemporary Czech on the morphological level: We demonstrate the crossings of the linguistic units between two categories on the materiál of feminins oscillating between the declension types "žena" and "růže". Using the proper names (antroponyms and toponyms), we ask a question, if we can také this group of nouns as a periphery of one category (system), or an individual subsystem with its own rules.

TEXT AND SUBTEXT, MEANING AND EXPRESSION
Šmejkalová, Kamila ; PAVELKA, Tomáš (advisor) ; KUDLÁČKOVÁ, Jana (referee)
The thesis focuses on an entire creative process that an actor goes through. It starts with a first contact with a play and continues with a first production and following reprises. I am writing about particular working concepts and I am trying to find it?s parallels and meanings in my own works. I have gathered most of my theatrical experience during my studies at DAMU and afterwards while I started to work as an actress at J. K. Tyl Theatre in Pilsen
