Exploring readability - a comparison of methods of text difficulty measuring
Prchalová, Dana ; Papík, Richard (advisor) ; Vášová, Lidmila (referee)
This bachelor thesis consists of two main parts. Following a short historical overview in the field, the most used readability formulæ for Czech and English languages are presented in the first part, with peeks to couple of solutions in other languages as well. Each readability measure is presented with an equation and instructions for its use. In the more practical second part, the work focuses at using or not using the formulæ on everyday basis, presents problems related to them and discusses their reliability supported by author's own measurements. Measuring the trend of readability within a literary work represents a novel use of the formulæ. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Holanová, Šárka ; Bučková, Tamara (advisor) ; Martschini, Elisabeth (referee)
The thesis deals with the book genre Erstlesebuch (book for beginner readers) and has in view its contemporary character with regard to readability for beginner readers. The theoretical part presents its interdisciplinary and the specifics of this book genre itself. In reference to the interdisciplinarity there are findings of following disciplines to allow: literary science, more precisely children's literature research, readability research, didactic reading and psychology of reading. The theoretical part also reveals some characteristics of Erstlesebuch in contrast with a common book for children and with belles- lettres at all. The theoretical-analytic part focuses on the complex analysis of six chosen contemporary Erstlesebuchs and is composed by three parts: a literary theoretical commentary, an analysis readability, and a comment on the composition of these books. The final part of the thesis concludes with empirical research. This research tested the influence of some criteria of readability by the children in second and third classes of a primary school in Austria. Based on the results, the text difficulty of the chosen Erstlesebuch will be assessed. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Text simplification in Czech
Burešová, Karolína ; Pecina, Pavel (advisor) ; Bejček, Eduard (referee)
This thesis deals with text simplification in Czech, in particular with lexical simplification. Several strategies of complex word identification, substitution generation and substitution ranking are implemented and evaluated. Substitution generation is attempted both in a dictionary-based manner and in an embedding- based manner. Some experiments involving people are also presented, the experiments aim at gaining an in- sight into perceived simplicity/complexity and its factors. The experiments conducted and evaluated include sentence pair comparison and manual text simplification. Both the evaluation results of various strategies and the outcomes of experiments involving humans are described and some future work is suggested. 1
