Manderlová, Eva ; Hájková, Eva (advisor) ; Janovec, Ladislav (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the motivation of choice of the children's names of foreigners and of children from ethnically mixed families living in the Czech environment. It is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical one presents the concepts of first name, onomastics, anthroponyms and others. Furthermore the bachelor's thesis describes the development of maiden names, their distribution by origin, individual motivation of name's choice and the rules of recording those names into the register office. The practical part is based on the results derived from filled in questionnaires. The results are evaluated from several different points of view. The key one is evaluation based on distribution of respondents by continents, onwards the "European" results are compared with the "non-European". Parents' length of stay in the Czech Republic is taken into account as well as the possibility of the existence of ethnically mixed parental couples accompanied by the motivation of the choice of two maiden names. The results are expressed as a percentage and also clearly shown in the various tables that are part of the bachelor's thesis.

Pronunciation of Proper Names in Interpreting
Chvojková, Kristýna ; Duběda, Tomáš (advisor) ; Sitařová, Kateřina (referee)
This thesis addresses the pronunciation of proper names in simultaneous interpreting from French into Czech. It consists of 2 parts: the 1st, theoretical part discusses the definitions, categorization and functions of proper names as described in the relevant literature. The work then focuses on adoption of loanwords in Czech and on the specific situation of proper names in simultaneous interpreting. The empirical part analyses 600 personal names from speeches interpreted at plenary sessions of the European Parliament. The aim of the research is to describe the adaptation principles in pronunciation of proper names interpreted into Czech; the intelligibility of the used equivalents; and the frequency of use of female forms of surnames in the European Parliament. The results show that the prevailing adaptation principle is phonological approximation, which corresponds to the rules set by the codified pronunciation standard. Other common principles are retention of the original pronunciation and spelling pronunciation. Original pronunciation is more frequent in names of French origin, whereas spelling pronunciation is found mostly in English and German names. Most of the used translation equivalents are comprehensible: the number of incomprehensible equivalents amounts to 7-11%. Surprisingly, most of...

Introduction to Literary Onomastics
Dvořáková, Žaneta ; Harvalík, Milan (advisor) ; Šrámek, Rudolf (referee) ; Krško, Jaromír (referee)
Introduction to Literary Onomastics Abstract Žaneta Dvořáková Czech onomastics has been traditionally well advanced; it has a high-quality theoretical and methodological foundation and is highly regarded internationally. However, unlike in other countries, literary onomastics as one of its disciplines still lacks sufficient attention. R. Šrámek - along with his counterparts abroad, K. Gutschmidt and W. F. H. Nicolaisen - points out its terminological and methodological inconsistency, insufficient theoretical elaboration and the problem of defining its scope of research. It is this call that I want to answer with my dissertation. The goal of my Introduction To Literary Onomastics is to provide a critical and complex summary and assessment of the current understanding of literary proper names and to further research the subject - especially by extending its scope with some new views of anthroponyms in fiction based on profound analyses of modern works of Czech and foreign literature of the 19th and 20th century. My research builds upon methodological-theoretical findings reached by the development of both Czech and foreign literary onomastics; at the same time, it draws on the latest findings of general onomastic theory. Excerpted works purposely represent a wide variety of literary genres, which allows us to...

Motivation of Addressing childern by hypocoristicons
Hrubá, Eliška ; Chejnová, Pavla (advisor) ; Palkosková, Olga (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with first names in general, a particular attention is, however, given to their usage in communication, to the familiar modifications of first names and to the motivation of addressing by hypocoristic forms as well as to the origin of nicknames. Within the first part, all the theoretical themes are summarised. The focus is primarily aimed towards the overall setting of the issue within the field of onomastics and the role of antroponyms within the linguistic system. The theoretical part further focuses on first names, motivation of their origin, function, transformation of the repertory of first names and their function within communication, language characteristics and naming motives. The issue of first names is enriched with an interpretation about the usage of antroponyms and their auto-nominalisation and along with a historic development of the shift from single-naming towards double-naming. The key part of the theoretical section concerns hypocoristics, the development of the hypocoristic forms of first names, their usage within communication as well as specific categories of hypocoristics and their language and word-forming characteristics. Interest was also put on nicknames and their general characterisation. A practical part of the thesis is based on a proper...
