Provisional Constellation 2015
Kadlčák, Šimon ; Vítková,, Lenka (referee) ; Cenek, Filip (advisor)
The book Boční pohled na zatmění Slunce (Side View on Solar Eclipse) is an artistic attempt to articulate own creative methodology. Simple verbal declamations, quotations from books and conceptual sketches may be understood as a headword complement to my work of past few years. If the reader is, by any reason, unacquainted to that work, the book should work as an autonomous poetical unit.

The motivation for the use of metaphor in bird names
MELSKI, Dominik
This thesis aims to explore the possible reasons that motivate speakers to use metaphors in the naming units of natural organisms. The work deals with various approaches to the concept of metaphor, especially the concept of image metaphors defined by Lakoff (1992). This is followed by the description of onomasiology and onomasiological word formation models applied in the analysis. For the work, a corpus of metaphorical bird names was created. The names were sorted by the types of salient features that the metaphors express. The subsequent analysis takes place within these categories. In evaluating the motivation for the use of metaphor in the naming units, I adopted the classification suggested in Kos (2019), which I supplement with the newly observed trends. The resulting data are quantified and interpreted.

Neologisms in social networks
LEPEŠKOVÁ, Klára

The aim of this thesis is to analyse the origin of neologisms with respect to their formal adaptation and onomasiological aspects primarily. The thesis consists of theoretical chapters dealing with neology and onomasiology as well as processes of formal and phonological adaptation. The theoretical knowledge is later applied in the practical part which is comprised of the qualitative and quantitative analysis of formal and onomasiological aspects found in concrete neologisms. The results of such analyses are stated both in the final summary and in the conclusion of this master´s thesis which is followed by Spanish resumé. The master´s thesis is written in Czech.

Plato's Cratylus: The Problem of Language
Vítková Fikejsová, Jana ; Holeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Horáček, Filip (referee)
The thesis deals with the question of the speech in Plato's dialogue Cratylus, from the perspective of philosophical thematization of the commitment of speech in the relationship between man and the world, as it gradually appears in individual ideas of the text. I deal with different approaches to the language of both Socrates' partners in the conversation, Hermogenes and Cratylus. They both prove problematic for various reasons. Hermogens see language as the work of human consensus and agreement, but it seems as he underestimate the importance of it and see it as something haphazard or arbitrary. The commitment of speech seemed to be precisely what Socrates were trying to bring Hermogens to. Names say what we consider the things to be. By being the smallest part of speech that makes sense, they can decide on its truth or falsity. Through speech, we relate to the being and we obtain a certain stability that enables us to know things and share that knowledge, which is definitely not happening arbitrarily. However, it should be borne in mind that the names show the convictions of the people who gave them to the things, and not something like the true nature of those things, as Cratylus would have believed, so that we cannot rely entirely on them for knowing things. Key words: Plato, Cratylus, speech,...
