Particals in moder vietmese language
Slavická, Binh ; Vrhel, František (advisor) ; Vasiljev, Ivo (referee) ; Strašáková, Mária (referee)
This doctoral thesis is concerned with particles in modern Vietnamese. Although Vietnamese particles form a small group of synsemantic words, they play a very important role in expressing the attitude of the speaker to the hearer/listener and to the message content as well as expressing grammatical and modal relationships within the sentence. The group includes particles positioned at the end of the sentence, particles appearing before a word as well as at the beginning of a phrase or a sentence. Despite their important function, particles in Vietnamese still are a scarcely explored topic. Particles have been explored usually as part of grammar books; so far, there are only few monographs on the topic of particles. Almost all works deal with a small number of particles and focus especially on those appearing at the end of the sentence. This work is concerned with particles at the end of the sentence as well as particles preceding a word, a phrase, or a sentence. It examines whether particles in Vietnamese are a part of speech at all; it sets forth criteria for classification of particles; it performs their analysis based on actual situations where they appear and describes their semantic characteristics; furthermore, it offers a chart of particles including their possible combinations. Besides, the...

The Vietnamese Czechs - second generation of immigrants in the Czech Republic
Tran, Alex ; Dolenská, Jana (advisor) ; Adamovičová, Ana (referee)
The Bachelor thesis deals with a position of the 2nd generation of Vietnamese in the Czech Republic - their integration into Czech society on the one hand and their establishment within Vietnamese minority on the other. Based on the study of literature of Vietnamese migration and integration, comparisons of Czech and Vietnamese culture and publications of the members of given generation, we described the specifics of the so-called Second Generation of Vietnamese in the Czech Republic, both in psychological, linguistic, cultural and social terms. In the second, analytically focused part of the thesis, we obtained data on the socio-cultural aspects of young Vietnamese living in the Czech Republic. Keywords: Vietnamese language, Czech language, second generation, "banana children", sociocultural aspects, cultural comparison

The voicing contrast in Vietnamese English
Tranová, Lenka ; Skarnitzl, Radek (advisor) ; Tichý, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis deals with the voicing contrast in Vietnamese accented English. The theoretical part introduces the generally accepted phenomena of voicing contrast, and several theories aiming at generalizing the main tendencies in acquiring a second language. The final part of the theoretical background is devoted to Vietnamese and Vietnamese English where we addressed the initial consonants. The methodological section provides information about the informants, recording, and data processing prior to the analysis itself. Furthermore, graphs and tables illustrate the statistical calculations using ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc tests that identify the aggregate and concrete relations among the measured units. The results of the analysis show that Vietnamese-accented English maintains comparable voicing contrast in its initial stressed plosives as a native English accent does. The average Voice Onset Times values of the lenis stops without prevoicing shows to be slightly higher, while the average values of voiced initial stops prove to be similar or close to similar those produced by American English (AmE) speakers, which we assign to the fact that pre-voicing in Vietnamese exhibits strikingly similar values. The values for fortis initial plosives showed to be higher due to such quality typical for Vietnamese...

The final part of the theoretical background addresses initial consonants in Vietnamese and Vietnamese English. The methodological section provides information about the informants, the recording, and data processing prior to the analysis itself. I also present graphs and tables illustrating the statistical calculations - using ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc tests - that identify the relations among the measured units. The results of this analysis show that in its initial stressed plosives, Vietnamese-accented English maintains a voicing contrast similar to that of a native English accent. The average Voice Onset Time values of lenis stops without prevoicing are slightly higher than those produced by American English (AmE) speakers, while the average values of voiced initial stops prove to be fairly close to their AmE equivalents. This affinity is attributed to the fact that prevoicing in Vietnamese exhibits strikingly similar values to AmE. The values for fortis initial plosives are shown to be higher in VE than AmE, due to the fact that in...

Czech Consonants and Their Realization by Vietnamese Speakers
Čepelíková, Monika ; Machač, Pavel (advisor) ; Štěpánová, Veronika (referee)
Present diploma thesis deals with perceptively noticeable deviations in realization of consonants in Czech of Vietnamese native speakers. The aim of the thesis is identification, characterization, categorization and quantification of the deviations from common Czech pronunciation according to specific ways of realization. In the theoretical part the consonant systems of both the languages and their syllabic structures are compared contrastively. The following chapter is dedicated to a short analysis of the pronunciation exercises and their didactic contribution in the most frequently used textbooks of Czech as a foreign language. Moreover, a textbook designated for Vietnamese speakers and an English textbook were analyzed for a better comparison. The research itself is based on an analysis of 16 records of Vietnamese native speakers by a method of careful listening in Praat program. The results have shown that the most frequent deviations in the speech of Vietnamese speakers were caused by interference from their mother tongue, especially because of the different consonant systems of Czech and Vietnamese and their different phonotactic rules. Keywords: Czech as a foreign language, Vietnamese, pronunciation, consonants, phonetics, didactics

Written Czech of Vietnamese Native Speakers
VU, Oanh
The aim of this work is to review the literature focused on Czech as a foreign language and the teaching of Czech as a foreign language for native Vietnamese speakers. Furthermore, it will deal with the sociolinguistic analysis of the language situation of the Vietnamese minority in the Czech Republic, with regard to the language conditions in the granting of permanent residence on the territory of the Czech Republic.
