Cinkrautová, Karolína ; Janovec, Ladislav (advisor) ; Pacovská, Jasňa (referee) ; Saicová Římalová, Lucie (referee)
The topic of the dissertation is the concept of ÚSPĚCH ("SUCCESS)" in the linguistic picture of the world of Czech students. We consider the research aimed at a deeper understanding of the linguistic picture of the world of children and youth to be highly topical, which corresponds to the current trends in the field of linguistics and didactics. Theoretically and methodologically, it is based on cognitive linguistics and Polish ethnolinguistics, linguistic disciplines focused on the research of the relationship between language and culture, which work with the concept of a linguistic picture of the world. The thesis also draws on American cognitive linguistics, which studies the theory of conceptual metaphor, as well as Czech and foreign didactic applications of the theoretical foundations of cognitive linguistics. The thesis aims to reconstruct the linguistic picture of ÚSPĚCH ("SUCCESS") in a specific group of Czech native speakers - lower secondary and upper secondary school students. The analysis of dictionary, textual and empirical data obtained through a specifically designed questionnaire led to the construction of a cognitive definition of ÚSPĚCH ("SUCCESS") and the reconstruction of the stereotype of a successful person on the basis of semantic aspects (profiles) and metaphors through...

Linguistic Picture of Devil / Deuce in Czech Folk Tales
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Evelína
This bachelor thesis represents the ethnolinguistic field of linguistic study, with its subject matter being the genre of Czech folk tales. This genre is analysed based on the collection of Czech folk tales titled České pohádky (Drda, 1985). The analysis presents the view of the world in the perspective of a Czech native speaker - the linguistic picture of the deuce / devil in Czech folk tales, particularly based on Drda's work. The theoretical section of this thesis presents terms from the ethnolinguistic, sociological, and literary science fields of study. This section also establishes the methodology used for the purpose of this thesis in the context of linguistic research. In the practical section, the thesis presents an analysis in the form of a corpus of excerpts organised categorically by their semantic properties. This corpus serves as the starting point and allows the thesis to present tables of attributes organised by facets.

Human Body in the Czech Paremiology: An Ethnolinguistic Study
Kovařík, Tadeáš ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Bozděchová, Ivana (referee)
The submitted Master's thesis deals with the linguistic picture of the human body and its parts in proverbs, which are listed in Václav Flajšhans's dictionary Česká přísloví (Czech proverbs). The material is processed using approaches and methodological tools of cognitive linguistics and ethnolinguistics. First of all the theoretical and methodological framework of the thesis is outlined, these are in particular approaches of cognitive linguistics and ethnolinguistics to language and the theory of linguistic picture of the world. These methods are then used to analyse the linguistic picture of human body and its parts in Czech, as arises from proverbs. Then the research paremiological context is defined and possible approaches to proverbs are characterized. The proverb is then defined using specialized literature. Individual chapters that focus on parts of human body present meanings of somatic idioms that are explained with help of monolingual dictionaries. Also there are lists of the most common collocations and idioms in which these somatic idioms occur. The linguistic picture of the human body and its parts in the Czech language picture of the world is then worked out on the basis of the analysed proverbs. These proverbs are used to present linguistic pictures of the sense of sight and hearing...

The Linguistic Picture of Death, Afterlife and Dying in Primary and Secondary School Pupils
Wildová, Zuzana ; Janovec, Ladislav (advisor) ; Pacovská, Jasňa (referee) ; Šindelářová, Jaromíra (referee)
The dissertation The Linguistic Picture of Death, Afterlife and Dying in Primary and Secondary School Pupils is devoted to the reconstruction of the linguistic picture of death in these groups of pupils, its mutual comparison and its comparison with the developed psychological concept of death. Furthermore, it describes how the taboo of this topic manifests itself in the pupils' linguistic picture of death and which modifications of the linguistic picture of the world are shown in the linguistic picture of death among pupils. In the first part, the dissertation deals with the concept of death in language and culture, and thus also with the linguistic and socio-cultural taboo of this phenomenon. We deal with the development of the conception of death in history and also the development of the concept of death of children and youth. The theoretical frame for this work is based on the methods of cognitive linguistics and its approach to linguistic research. We characterize this linguistic approach, its methods and the main representatives in the next part of the work. We use cognitive linguist methods not only for processing but also for collecting language data. In the third part, we analyze system, text and empirical language data. Textual data are derived from texts of intentional literature for...

Concept NADĚJE ('hope') in Václav Havel's Work
Stará, Michaela ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the concept of hope in selected texts of Václav Havel using theoretical methodological principles of cognitive linguistics and ethnolinguistic. After an introduction to basic themes of cognitive linguistics this thesis explores the linguistic image of hope in Czech language by using dictionary data analysis. Subsequently, the focus shifts to conceptualization of hope in Havel's texts, semantic frameworks where hope features prominently, and to the relationship of hope to related concepts. In the conclusion the concept of hope is put into broader context of Havel's work. Arguments why the term hope can be counted amongst Havel's keywords are duly provided. This thesis is inspired in particular by the work of David S. Danaher and his comparative ethnolinguistic analyses of selected Havel's terms.
