Polish and Czech nonsense literature for children
Czudek, Lucja ; Brožová, Věra (advisor) ; Píšová, Ina (referee)
The diploma thesis describes Polish and Czech nonsense in children's literature. The main goal is to define nonsense literature, its development from a historical and formative point of view, considering contemporary events. The first part of the thesis focuses on the theoretical definition of the term nonsense and its historical aspect, especially on the two key representatives of English nonsense Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll. The next part deals with the development of Polish nonsense in children's literature. Two main authors, Julian Tuwim and Jan Brzechwa, who are considered as the creators of the new poetic school, took part in the formation of nonsense in Poland. Absurd humour and the world of children readers became the main inspirations for their work. This poetics was followed by other representatives of the Polish nonsense, including Ludwik Jerzy Kern, Wanda Chotomska and others. The work also focuses on the development of Czech nonsense for children, its main personalities and major works, which are based on nonsense, absurdity and word play. The diploma describes nonsense work for children of Josef Kainar, Jiří Kolář, Miloš Macourek, Pavel Šrut and other writers of literature. The last part of the thesis deals with specific nonsense literature for children of Polish and Czech authors....
Phraseology in non-sense fairytales (chosen authors)
NOVOTNÁ, Šárka
My thesis focuses on using phraseologisms in nonsensical fairy-tales from selected authors. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The first part of the theoretical part briefly describes the definition of a folk tale and a nonsensical tale to highlight their differences. Second part describes the Czech phraseology and idiomatics according to academic publications. The practical part deals with the survey itself that we created by collecting phraseological materials in selected works. The works of Ludvik Aškenazy, Jiří Trnka and Josef Hanzlík were used in the survey. Collected material is divided into specific groups based on its semantic function. The aim of this thesis is to determine the richness of phraseological phrases in nonsensical fairy tales and to explain their definiton by sorting them into specific groups. Collected material will be presented as found in all three works.
New Forms of Fairy Tales and the Elements of Nonsense in Several Works of Anglo-American Children´s Literature
KERESZTESOVÁ, Nikola
This thesis deals with the analysis of selected modern fairy tales (R. Dahl, J. Scieszka, T. Jones), while the main attention will be focused on the transformation of traditional structures (Propp) and the penetration of nonsense elements into the fairy tale genre. The theoretical introduction will outline the basic features and functions of traditional fairy tales (Propp, Tolkien) and it will also consider the beginnings of nonsense literature for children. The change of the form and the content as a distinctive feature of the modern and postmodern fairy tales is a crucial part of the thesis, which pays attention to the interpretation of the particular selected texts.
