The impetus behind this research is the long-standing requirement for linguistic examination to pay attention not only to the language of adults, but also to that of pupils and students. From the viewpoint of pedagogy, it establishes the extent to which the speech of children and youth features typical morphological tendencies of contemporary Czech, from the viewpoint of linguistics, it verifies the extent to which schooling manages to fulfill one of the crucial goals of linguistic education, i.e. appropriation of the standardized form of national language. The examined material comprised three specimens: transcriptions from lessons, recordings of a radio show and internet advertisements. The analysis of the specified linguistic material yielded that from the viewpoint of the usage of standard morphology,...

Augustinová, Tereza ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Kučera, Štěpán (referee)
This Bachelor Thesis focuses on analysis of codified pronunciation of TV news' professional speakers on the CT 1. This public service medium was chosen because it guarantees a high level of the language skills in its codes and there is expected that the professional speakers on the CT1 will be an example in speech for their audience. The fundamental object of this Thesis is to analyze the status of Colloquial Stan-dard Czech and Standard Czech in the actual media discourse. This Thesis reflects a discussion about the status of Common Czech. The Bachelor Thesis deals with the causes of this discussion and outlines the consequences that would be due to the role of Common Czech like a prestigious national variety. In the theoretical part there is a summary of basic terms and contexts that refer to the topic of this thesis. The practical part contains the description of analysed materials and the analysis' process. The analysis reveals the speech imperfections on the back-ground of the orthoepic norm and describes theirs possible causes and consequences. The most occurred unnormalized phenomenas were divergences in quality and quantity of vowels, unnormalized releases of consonants' connections, such as an as-similation to a contiguous segment or assimilation at a distance. There were found in-correct...

Cmíralová, Markéta ; Březinová, Helena (advisor) ; Hartlová, Dagmar (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the methods used by translators when translating spoken language in contemporary Danish fiction into Czech. In the first chapter, the Czech translation tradition is defined. This tradition influences Czech usage and tendencies. The second chapter introduces the features of stylized language reflected in literature written in Czech. As will be shown, these are mainly lexicological and morphological features and related stylistical means. The following chapters are devoted to the analysis of individual features of stylized language and their translation into Czech. Discussed are loanwords, diminutives, expletives, morphological changes, realia and politeness. The translated units are compared with Czech translation tradition and literature written in Czech.

Language means of social differentiation of characters in literary translation. Alfred Döblin: Berlin Alexanderplatz
Patočková, Veronika ; Winter, Astrid (advisor) ; Svoboda, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis is devoted to a relatively little explored issue - the social differentiation of literary characters and the transfer of its linguistic means. The language material for exploring this field of translatology was provided by Döblin's novel Berlin Alexanderplatz (1928) and by two translations into Czech (1935 and 1968). We analyzed utterances of two characters. The first one represents a lower social class and criminal environment. In his speech the analysis showed many elements of Berlin urbanolect which were used for his social characterization. The second character represents the Jewish ethnic group. His direct speech contains elements of literary Yiddish, alluding to his Jewish origins. The subsequent utterance analysis of the first character in Czech translations showed an appropriate use of common Czech as a substitute for Berlin urbanolect in both translations. The analysis was set in the context where the usage of nonstandard elements in Czech and translated literature used to be a convention. Both translators followed these conventions successfully. When translating the literary Yiddish in the direct speech of the second character, significant differences in both translations were discovered. In the first translation the Yiddish elements were not replaced. In the second...

Standard and non-standard language in printed media communication and its impact on discussions about standard language
Pospíšilová, Martina ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Jirák, Jan (referee)
The present Master's thesis analyses language means in printed media with a particular focus on national daily newspapers from the second trimester of 1993. That year, there was an important linguistic conference on standardised Czech and language culture. The analysis examines especially language means that deviate from the standardised norm of the language. The theoretical part discusses key concepts, such as norm and codification or national language and its varieties. The understanding of these terms is critical for the analytical part of the thesis where language means used in printed media are being analysed using quantitative content analysis. The aim of this analysis is to describe their motivation of use and function. The results are then compared with the proceedings of the 1993 conference on standardised Czech and language culture held in Olomouc. The thesis provides a clear view on how the occurrence of non-standardised language means in media influences academic discussion on standardised Czech.
