Using Word-Association Games for Language Teaching
Babača, Martin ; Otrusina, Lubomír (referee) ; Smrž, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis explores the use of the word associative game Codenames in language learning, especially learning English as the second language. In order to achieve the goal, it addresses the problem of explaining semantic relations among words. The explanations take advantage of word sketches, provided by the Sketch Engine tool, and of word descriptions available in specialized English dictionaries. The implemented extension of the previously created engine for playing Codenames enables explaining the automatically suggested relations among the hint words and intended words in each game, motivating users for further exploration of the studied language.

Anaphoric use of demonstratives in professional texts
MACHULOVÁ, Magdaléna
The subject of the diploma thesis is a contrastive analysis of Czech and Spanish demonstratives in anaphoric use. The aim of the work is to map a selected sample of Czech and Spanish anaphors in philosophical texts of the 21st century. The work is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part, the author discusses the phenomenon of deixis, classifies determinants and demonstratives, both from the perspective of Czech and Spanish grammars. In the practical part is performed the analysis of selected samples of anaphoric expressions, which the author randomly chose using the program SketchEngine. At the end of the work, the findings are evaluated and based on a contrastive analysis of the conclusion. The work is written in the Czech language.
