Utilization of the Relationship between German, English and Czech in Teaching German as a Foreign Language
Veselý, Ondřej ; Lobenstein-Reichmann, Anja (advisor) ; Zeman, Dalibor (referee)
The thesis examines the utilization of linguogenetic (Proto-Indo-European) and cultural- historic (through borrowing) relationships among European languages in instruction and self- study of foreign languages, and as a means of strengthening European unity. As an example serves German, English and Czech, occasionally Latin and Old Greek, in Teaching German as a Foreign Language. The methods are secondary sources research (to present concise history of the languages and their ancestral proto-languages), analysis of linguistic relationships (between 450 lexemes of the German basic vocabulary and their semantic equivalents - translations - in English, Czech, occasionally Latin and Old Greek) and an opinion survey (among 75 respondents about their interest in the historiolinguistic approach and about their belief in this improving the international relations). The results showed that more than a half of the 450 German words are linguogenetically cognate to English and a significant amount of them also to Czech and Latin. On the contrary, borrowings did not play such an important role within the basic wordstock. Most respondents expressed some kind of interest into the historiolinguistic approach and many of them also believed this approach to have a positive impact on intercultural aspects. KEY WORDS...

Austiacisms in the work of Christine Nöstlinger and their position in Austrian German in present time
Hambálková, Zuzana ; Zeman, Dalibor (advisor) ; Haupenthal, Thomas Maria (referee)
The Diploma Thesis "Austriacisms in the work of Christine Nöstlinger and their position in Austrian German in present time" deals with austriacisms from the theoretical and practical point of view. It focuses on the conception of austriacisms from different points of view according to linguistic experts, the analysis of the terms from the novel of Nöstlinger and most importantly on the practical sociolinguistic research. The results of this research have shown that the hypothesis was proven. The hypothesis lies in the fact that the informants know autriacisms and that they actively use them. Austriacisms are a consistent and living part of the present colloquial German language. These expressions are not considered to be an archaism and the informants are proud that this variety of the German language has enriched the standard language. The usage of austriacisms is considered to be a part of the Austrian history and culture. Key words: austriacism, lexicology, sociolinguistics, Austrian literature, sociolinguistic research Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Light verb constructions and their using in German journalistic texts
Pekárková, Ludmila ; Zeman, Dalibor (advisor) ; Martschini, Elisabeth (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with issue of light verb constructions and its usage in German journalistic texts. The objective of the theoretical part is to explain on the basis of scholarly literature basic terms such as light verb construction (LVC), function verb and full verb. After that light verb constructions are also distinguished by syntactic and semantic criteria, which specify the rules for usage of light verb constructions in practice. The individual rules are shown on example sentences. The objective of practical part is to analyze and compare usage of light verb constructions in German journalistic texts (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Bild) using tables as well as graph sands identify from semantic view point which types of light verb constructions were in texts most often. On the basis of this observation it was found out that serious newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung contained more of these constructions than tabloid Bild. This fact derives from usage of nominal style, which is preferred in official and journalistic texts nowadays. Keywords light verb construction, function verb, full verb, journalistic texts

Problems with pronunciation of terms used to describe cognitive facts on German-speaking countries
Švédová, Zdeňka ; Nečasová, Pavla (advisor) ; Zeman, Dalibor (referee)
This bachelor thesis inquires into the phonetic phenomena that occurs in the Standard German pronunciation of the German toponyms. It applies the phonetical and phonological rules on the study of the cognitive facts on German speaking countries and shows both usefulness and importance of the combination of these two disciplines. Nobody dealt with similar topic in the past. The aim of this work is to point out the phenomena that cause difficulties with pronunciation to Czech learners of the German language. It is supposed that the phenomena that do not occur in their mother tongue will be complicated for them to learn. To achieve the goal, systematic procedure was taken which includes the specification of the discipline that deals with the cognitive facts on the German speaking countries, the comparison of Czech and German phonetic system, the transcription of the selected toponyms and description of the problematic phonetic issues and finally the research which consists of an auditive analysis of recordings and a questionnaire. The auditive analysis of the recordings proves the hypothesis of this bachelor thesis. Students do make mistakes in the expected phenomena, although, according to the results of the questionnaire, they are aware of the differences between the Czech an German phonetic system....

Modalwords as one of the modalinstruments in german and czech language
Koťová, Markéta ; Zeman, Dalibor (advisor) ; Haupenthal, Thomas Maria (referee)
Resumé Cílem mé práce bylo osvětlit zařazení modálních slov v českých a německých gramatikách. Došla jsem k závěru, že v obou jazycích je zařazení odlišné. Zatímco v němčině mají modální slova svou vlastní samostatnou skupinu, v češtině se řadí mezi částice, do podskupiny modální částice. V obou jazycích je dalším problémem vymezení modálních slov od jiných slovních druhů, jako jsou částice a adverbia. Pomocí různých gramatických příruček jsem sestavila přehled gramatických testů, které by nám měli v určování pomoci. V praktické části práce jsem využití těchto testů ukázala na konkrétních případech. Rovněž jsem modální slova porovnala s jejich českým překladem. Většina slov byla přeložena dle očekávání, tzn. modální slova v němčině jako modální částice v češtině. Modální částice vyjadřující jistotní modalitu se však vyskytovala ve více stylistických variantách, například modální slovo vielleicht bylo přeloženo jako snad, možná, pravděpodobně nebo třeba. Pouze jedno modální slovo, bestimmt, bylo přeloženo pomocí konkurenční formy. Key words: modality, modal word, modal particles, speech act
