Japanese Character Description
Holáň, Jakub ; Zámečníková, Eva (referee) ; Horáček, Petr (advisor)
The Japanese language has from historical reasons a very complicated orthographical system based on more interconnected alphabets where the characters can be logograms (characters representing whole words) as well as phonograms (characters representing single sounds or syllables of a language). When searching or compiling a japanese dictionary various nontrivial methods of sorting these characters have to be used, e.g. sorting them by number of strokes or by radicals (basic building elements of a character). The aim of this thesis is to find an ideal database structure to accurately describe japanese characters and relationships between them. For good measure, a demonstration application has been developed, which can be used as a learning and revision tool for japanese students. The application is intended for internet use and it has been put together using the most up to date web technologies, such as Google Web Toolkit and Java servlets.

Toward issue toponyms in selected area
DIVIŠOVÁ, Kristina
The bachelor thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical one. The theoretical part contains general questions of two linguistic disciplines - onomasticts and toponomastics. At first, the thesis is based on the characteristics of the onomastic discipline, its history, division into subfields and its functions. The toponomastic discipline is elaborated in a similar way. In addition, attention is also paid to geographical proper nouns. The practical part is divided into two parts, both having the same goal - to pinpoint the development of toponyms, especially urbanonyms and, based on the theory, to perceive marginally the issues of these disciplines. The first chapter of the practical part is focused on the small town of Hrotovice and the second one on the town of Třebíč. Old maps as well as chronicles were used for the research. In the case of Hrotovice, the method of an interview was also used.

The Function of Speech in Husserl and Merleau-Ponty
Puc, Jan ; Novotný, Karel (advisor) ; Čapek, Jakub (referee) ; Janoušek, Hynek (referee)
The Function of Speech in Husserl and Merleau-Ponty The submitted doctoral thesis is an attempt to describe the development of the intentional function of speech in Husserl and Merleau-Ponty. The intentional function is defined as the change of expressed meaning that is engendered by the expression itself. We trace Husserl's position from the Logical Investigations and the first book of his Ideas pertaining to a pure phenomenology and to a phenomenological philosophy, where he describes speech as the non- productive mirroring of other kinds of intentionality, to the late text The Origin of Geometry, where he discerns two functions of speech: it provides thought its ideality, which is different from the ideality of species; and it provides thought its objectivity, i.e. the form of object that lasts in history as identical. In The Phenomenology of Perception, Merleau-Ponty adopts Husserl's late position with several profound modifications. The starting-point ceases to be the linguistic sign, and speech becomes a kind of gesture. As a consequence, the difference between linguistic and non-linguistic ideality disappears. Furthermore, Merleau-Ponty holds that the expression accomplishes the meaning of what it expresses. In this way, speech becomes creative and ceases to be just an empty intention of...
