Moreover, Finnish non-standard language can, and is, also used for lyrics. The first theoretical part of thesis is an introduction to Finnish language varieties, non-standard and standard language and lyrics. The second practical part of thesis focuses on analysing the selected lyrics for the morphological, the syntactic and the lexical level of language. Non-standard language is analysed in all three levels of language, standard language only in the syntactic level of language.

Developing pronunciation through musical activities in French lessons
Prucek, Jan ; Klinka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Jančík, Jiří (referee)
Title of the thesis: Developing pronunciation through musical activities in French lessons Keywords: communicative approach, phonetics, phonology, pronunciation, prosody, activity, music, rhythm, rhythmisation, melody, tempo, intonation, accent, song, rap, facial expressions Abstract: This thesis deals with the teaching of French phonetics, considers the status of phonetics in communicatively oriented teaching, and comes to the fact that the teaching of phonetics and phonology is not a priority in the communicative approach. The work demonstrates the importance of such teaching, and therefore explores how the teaching of pronunciation or some of its components could be made more attractive. Based on the proven relationship of music and language, both as auditory phenomena, this thesis approaches the interwoven elements of these two areas. The aim is to explore how the musical elements, such as: rhythm, melody, tempo, phrasing, etc., could be used in the teaching of French pronunciation - especially at the suprasegmental level. The work offers a basic inventory of exercises which benefit from this characteristic and which has been verified in practice, and in the final analysis summarises their effectiveness in foreign language teaching.

Circulation
Reisová, Kristína ; Sikora, Erik (referee) ; Smetana, Matěj (advisor)
Urethral falls, crying tears, breathing mist, river of blood, sweat underneath, sneezing mildew, tides of saliva, bladder bays, springs under the skin, weeing spring, renal lagoon, stalactites in the nose,... Running around the water cycle, no beginning and no end. My voice is in it. When it flows, the voice sings. When evaporates it becomes steam, it whispers and when the rain starts to fall the rap begins. The water cycle is dependent on the water cycle, natural condition, and the weather. So I’m addicted to the environment, and the mood and atmosphere is what it is, and what it will be.
