The empirical part describes the formation of the corpus created for the purposes of the thesis, which is based on texts selected form current French press (the daily broadsheet Le Monde and the weekly tabloid Voici). The core section of the thesis presents samples and analyses of individual word-formation processes which appeared in the author's corpus. The data are accompanied by a basic statistical analysis of the relative proportions of individual word-formation processes. The research shows that borrowings, especially those from English, represent the most frequent word-formation process in both newspapers. Borrowings constituted nearly a half of all identified neologisms (45%) in Voici and nearly one third of the neologisms (28%) in Le Monde.

A Linguistic analysis of francophone reggae
Chodaková, Polina ; Duběda, Tomáš (advisor) ; Štichauer, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis deals with the language practices of French-speaking reggae singers. The work investigates how Jamaican musical inspiration came to the French scene, and which phonetic, morphosyntactic and especially lexical devices are found there. An inseparable object of research, equally undescribed, was the vernacular of francophone reggae fans. The empirical part investigates a random sample of French reggae (approx. 50 thousand words). The songs differ geographically, chronologically (1979-2010) and musically (roots, raggamuffin, dancehall). The research not only focuses on popular and colloquial French, slang, urban language, musical influence or poetry, but also on the coherence between themes and functions fulfilled by francophone reggae. A list of neologisms shows preferences in lexicogenic processes. Furthermore, the method includes a web survey answered by 189 French-speaking reggae fans, who represent the 'new speech' community. As a result, the hypothesis of a new vernacular, independent from rap, is confirmed. The specific hybridity is defined by code switching and more than a hundred English and Jamaican borrowings, which are commonly used by the fans.

Neology in Department of Contemporary Lexicology and Lexicography (OSLL) – Results and Plans
Tichá, Zdeňka
The neological issue in the OSLL is a component of the wider framework of the research plan Creation of a Lexical Database of the Czech Language of the Beginning of the 21st Century (2005–2011, head – K. Oliva). The construction of the lexical collections (archives of lexical dynamics) is dealt with by the excerption section; the theoretical understanding and lexicographic treatment are assured by an independent working group of lexicographers. Thanks to the research plan being resolved, it was possible to ensure the continual complementation of the neological excerption, modify the method of the accumulation of the material in connection with the new tasks of the department and modernise the software equipment (in connection with that to make part of the neological material accessible to the wider public). These results are built on by the theoretical and practical activities of the neological working group, focusing on the treatment of new material (2002–2010).
