Analysis of stylistic features in English and Czech radio debates
Neubauerová, Alena ; Dušková, Libuše (advisor) ; Malá, Markéta (referee)
This MA thesis focuses on the stylistically marked features that occur in an English radio debate called Any Questions? aired by BBC - Radio 4 and a Czech radio debate called Speciál Martina Veselovského aired on Český rozhlas 1 - Radiožurnál. Stylistically marked features are restricted to certain kinds of social context: in the case of this thesis, it is two radio debates broadcast by public service media. Those linguistics features that are considered stylistically marked in the two debates are identified on the morphological, syntactical and lexical level, and classified into categories based upon a view of their functions. Subsequently, they are described as standard or nonstandard. Some of the features found are shared by both debates. However, some are, due to the different language systems concerned, symptomatic of only one of the languages. The difference between the English and the Czech stylistically marked features is also revealed as to the frequency of their occurrence. Finally, the conclusions about the level of informality of the two debates are drawn.

Specific features of communication in Spanish social networks
VONIČKOVÁ, Zuzana
The presented master's thesis is concerned with the specifics of the Spanish language in the sphere of social networks. In the theoretical part, we define key concepts, while the attention is particularly aimed on previously published studies with similar topic, features of Spanish used on social networks and stylistic factors. The second part of the thesis is practical. In this part, we aim to prove that linguistic features typical for the sphere of social networks should not be perceived as mistakes or ignorance of the writers but rather as manifestations of stylistic factors.

Formality and informality in pupil´s written speeches
KŘIVSKÁ, Alžběta
The Bachelor thesis is called "Formal and informal language in pupil´s writing," it mainly deals with non-standard elements in written form (errors in phonetics, in grammar, (il)logicality in speech..). The thesis is divided into two main parts, the first part is theoretical, it summarizes the most important findings about children's writing skills with its features and the most common mistakes. The second part is practical, written on the basis of research and subsequent analysis of written expressions of sixth grade students. The main goal of the thesis is to provide information about the issue and subsequently confirm or disprove the assumptions stated in the theoretical part, or possibly help the students who wish to avoid these inaccuracies in writing.
