Games and game's activities in the teaching morphology at the first grade of primary school
Veselková, Alice ; Šmejkalová, Martina (advisor) ; Hájková, Eva (referee)
RESUMÉ V ANGLICKÉM JAZYCE The diploma thesis is focused on parts of speech in the Czech language in the lower primary school. Its aim is to chart it on the general level, to introduce their definition, their historical background and the selection into the word-classes. The theoretical section introduces the parts of speech as the common part of the language. It describes them on basis of the syntactic, semantic and morphological division. That is needed for concrete introduction and realisation of the individual parts of speech. For each word class there is also briefly showed how they are presented in contemporary Czech language textbooks for the lower primary school. The practical part focuses on introduction of new methods of teaching parts of speech mainly through games and unconventional tools. The games contain rules, time management, tools and number of pupils involved. Furthermore., there are the interviews with the teachers of the concrete lower primary school who had got to test the games and tools and summarizes their opinions. KEY WORDS parts of speech, teaching, the lower primary school, unconventional approach to teaching, games, unconventional tools

Assessing the impact of manual corrections in the Groningen Meaning Bank
Weck, Benno ; Lopatková, Markéta (advisor) ; Vidová Hladká, Barbora (referee)
The Groningen Meaning Bank (GMB) project develops a corpus with rich syntactic and semantic annotations. Annotations in GMB are generated semi-automatically and stem from two sources: (i) Initial annotations from a set of standard NLP tools, (ii) Corrections/refinements by human annotators. For example, on the part-of-speech level of annotation there are currently 18,000 of those corrections, so called Bits of Wisdom (BOWs). For applying this information to boost the NLP processing we experiment how to use the BOWs in retraining the part-of-speech tagger and found that it can be improved to correct up to 70% of identified errors within held-out data. Moreover an improved tagger helps to raise the performance of the parser. Preferring sentences with a high rate of verified tags in retraining has proven to be the most reliable way. With a simulated active learning experiment using Query-by-Uncertainty (QBU) and Query-by- Committee (QBC) we proved that selectively sampling sentences for retraining yields better results with less data needed than random selection. In an additional pilot study we found that a standard maximum-entropy part-of-speech tagger can be augmented so that it uses already known tags to enhance its tagging decisions on an entire sequence without retraining a new model first.

Language games in the 3rd and 4th year of primary school
Štuksová, Marie ; Pišlová, Simona (advisor) ; Janovec, Ladislav (referee)
Czech language is an unattractive and boring subject for some pupils. In this work I deal with linguistic game, by which I would like to promote interest in the subject. In the theoretical part I determine the subject matter of the word classes, new algorithms and principles that should be followed in the curriculum. In addition, there is a definition of game and its place in the life of a child. Other concepts, such as "didactic play" and "language game", are explained as well. In the practical part I analyze the questionnaire, which is concerned with language games in the third and fourth year of primary school. I evaluate teachers' opinions on play, if they involve games during their lessons and whether pupils play these games with interest or not. This section also contains a reservoir of language games that are designed to practice and consolidate the particular curriculum. I tried to link theory with practice as much as possible. The main aim of my thesis is to use games to make teaching methods more interesting and fun for children.

Sinokorean lexicon in modern Korean
Mazaná, Vladislava ; Horák, Tomáš (advisor) ; Glomb, Vladimír (referee)
1 TITLE: Sino-Korean Lexicon in Modern Korean AUTHOR: Vladislava Mazana DEPARTMENT: Institute of East Asian Studies SUPERVISOR: Mgr. Tomáš Horák, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: This diploma paper is focused on morphological aspects of the Sino-Korean lexicon in modern Korean, the main topics are Sino-Korean word-formation and Sino-Korean classification of parts of speech. Hereby considered are the typological differences between Korean, an agglutinative language and Chinese, an isolative-polysyntetic language. The problem with Sino-Korean words is their ambiguity and vagueness, they appear in various grammatical and syntactical functions with their form unchanged. One morpheme can simultaneously function as an affix and root. This paper analyzes forms of function units, it deals with ways of word-formation (composition and derivation). The ways of prefixation and suffixation are researched. Based on the results of this analysis an adequate classification of Sino-Korean parts of speech is aimed to be established. Both the original Korean and the Chinese systems of parts of speech are taken into account but neither of them corresponds with the characterics and functions of the Sino-Korean words. Considering the multifunctional character of Sino-Korean morphemes it is extremely difficult to classify the words into parts of...

Stylistic Differences in English Speeches of Male and Female Members of the European Parliament
Buňková, Jana ; Matuchová, Klára (advisor) ; Morgan, Craig Alan (referee)
This diploma thesis is a sociolinguistic analysis of speeches rendered in English by members of the European Parliament. The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyze the stylistic patterns in speeches of members of the European Parliament based on gender, as a sociolinguistic factor. This thesis is based on three main linguistic disciplines: grammar, stylistics and sociolinguistics. The practical part is based on a research of 100 randomly chosen members of the European Parliament, 50 men and 50 women, whose speeches rendered in English, were transcribed and analyzed by the quantitative method used for a comparison of linguistic features. This thesis predominantly focuses on grammatical analysis of parts of speech and syntax. It also deals with hyper- sentential links: cohesion and coherence. This thesis also includes profiles of MEP which, together with other sociolinguistic researches, help to interpret the results of a grammatical analysis. The practical part is concluded by profiles of hypothetic MEPs who are likely to render their speech in English.

Linguistic analysis of a Baroque Homily
HIPSKÁ, Petra
In the thesis Language Analysis of Baroque Sermon I deal with the morphological level of the Baroque sermon written by Karel Václav Černý Medotekoucí sláva na hůře Libanu (Fame on Liban Mountain) dating back to 1727. The thesis is a follow-up of my bachelor thesis analyzing the syntactic level of sermon. Besides this it involved the exposition concerning the Baroque time and the Saint John of Nepomuk. For this reason I do not state this information in my thesis. The thesis is based on the research of grammatical means applied in the text, as in view of the scope the thesis could not be focused on the lexical and stylistic level. Theoretical base are for me the present as well as the historical grammar books. I classify word classes acquired by excerption and focus on their characteristic features. I try to prove everything by examples found in the text. The target of this thesis is to compare the Baroque grammatical means with the means of the present Czech language.

PEROUTKOVÁ, Jitka
This work is divided into three major parts. The first one deals with parts of speech themselves {--} with what they are, with the criteria for sorting them and finally it presents the history of linguistic theories, related to the parts of speech. The second one presents the progress and results of bibliographic searches, during which we were looking for czech grammar books, dealing with French. The third part presents the actual analysis of manuals, that were found, focusing on the classification of the parts of speech.

Grammar Terminology of the Contemporary Textbooks and Methods of FLE
VOJTOVÁ, Andrea
This thesis observes grammatical terminology which can be found in the contemporary textbooks of the French language which have been published in the Czech Republic and France. Primarily, it deals with the question of word classes and their interpretation in the analyzed books. It works with the terminology (French and Czech) of the word classes. The crucial theme of this work is metalanguage used not only in the explications of the particular items of grammar but also in the tasks for the grammar exercises. The aim of this work is to find out a certain extent the textbooks use the linguistic terminology to. It also tries to discover whether they use national grammatical tradition. Last but not least it tries to learn whether the textbooks include the complete list of word classes.
