Markedness in the language of Czech political podcasts
Johová, Lucie ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Schneiderová, Soňa (referee)
The master's thesis focuses on the markedness in the language of Czech political podcasts. The aim is to find out how contemporary political journalists enrich their vocabulary and how they utilize creativity, humor, irony, and updating expressions in their speeches. The theoretical part defines the functional journalistic style and its historical development, as well as the concept of stylistic markedness and the principles of identifying marked linguistic means. The work also examines the role of podcasting as an important media phenomenon of the 21st century and its relationship to the traditional audio medium - radio. The analytical part applies these findings within the framework of a qualitative analysis of the language of speakers in selected political podcasts. It focuses on their inventiveness in using linguistic means and reflects the current language situation and trends in enriching vocabulary in the public space. The results show how speakers use updating expressions in their speech and to what extent they resort to standardized expressions. The master's thesis provides a valuable overview of the current state of language in Czech political podcasts and contributes to a better understanding of the role of podcasting in the Czech media landscape.

Analysis of Behavioural Profiles of Iterative Verbs in Latin
Hrach, Petr ; Pultrová, Lucie (advisor) ; Friedová, Mirjam (referee)
This thesis deals with the group of Latin iterative verbs, i.e. the group that is formally marked with the iterative suffix -t. It deals with the question what was the actual meaning of the iterative suffix -t in classical Latin as reference literature says that in some cases the meaning of iterative verbs in classical Latin was the same as that of the base verb and there are iterative verbs whose base verbs are not attested at all. Also, only iterative verbs often passed into Romance languages. Another question this thesis deals with is the relationship of iterative verbs as a group set off on the basis of the category of aktionsart as it is understood in the Czech linguistic tradition and the categories that are generally referred to as aspect (grammatical aspect, lexical aspect). In this case, the selected method is a corpus-based quantitative method called the "behavioural profiles". In our case, the corpus is limited to selected prosaic works of the classical Latin period of approximately the 1st century b.C. to the 1st century AD. In its first part, the analysis is based on studying the occurrences of selected iterative verb - base verb pairs in the above mentioned corpus, especially focused on the frequency of occurrence, valence and classification of predicates into Vendler's classes,...
