Politness and compliments in Spanish language acquisition: case study of Czech students
SEVILLANO RUIZ, Aitana
The speech act of compliments is a field within pragmatics that has not been sufficiently exploited in SFL teaching. In this Master's thesis, the linguistic and sociocultural aspects of giving and receiving compliments are analyzed by means of a comparative study among Czech and Spanish learners. The data collected in the survey, previously distributed among students of these nationalities, is the source of information for the subsequent elaboration of a didactic proposal, the aim of which is to bring the teaching of compliments to the SFL classroom. It should be noted that the proposed activities are divided by learning levels and the knowledge applied is based on the notions set out in the PCIC. Furthermore, an analysis of several online and students books which introduce this speech act is carried out.

The first chapters of this thesis describe the process of collecting mispronounced words in English, first by searching through various sources including course books, didactic manuals and teachers' books; and second by attending English lessons at various schools and listening to Czech students' production of English. The collected data were classified according to the cause of observed mispronunciations. The established categories were analysed and commented from the phonetic point of view. The practical part further contains a small-scale research carried out among university students of the English language in which their reading was recorded and evaluated in relation to the examined phenomenon.
