Analysis of stylistic features in English and Czech radio debates
Neubauerová, Alena ; Dušková, Libuše (advisor) ; Malá, Markéta (referee)
This MA thesis focuses on the stylistically marked features that occur in an English radio debate called Any Questions? aired by BBC - Radio 4 and a Czech radio debate called Speciál Martina Veselovského aired on Český rozhlas 1 - Radiožurnál. Stylistically marked features are restricted to certain kinds of social context: in the case of this thesis, it is two radio debates broadcast by public service media. Those linguistics features that are considered stylistically marked in the two debates are identified on the morphological, syntactical and lexical level, and classified into categories based upon a view of their functions. Subsequently, they are described as standard or nonstandard. Some of the features found are shared by both debates. However, some are, due to the different language systems concerned, symptomatic of only one of the languages. The difference between the English and the Czech stylistically marked features is also revealed as to the frequency of their occurrence. Finally, the conclusions about the level of informality of the two debates are drawn.

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.

Incredible Adam Spark. Between translation and transformation
Náprstek, Marek ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Matuchová, Klára (referee)
This BA thesis is concerned with the translation of a part of the novel The Incredible Adam Spark written by a Scottish author Alan Bissett and its consequent stylistic analysis. This thesis deals mainly with the question of reproduction of a literary work in a different socio-cultural environment that it was created in, it discuses the achievable degree of objectivity and authenticity during the process of translation and finally it concentrates on the role of a translator as a mediator between the writer and the reader. One of the examined fields is also the question of the translator's involvement in the reformulation of the translated material, in other words, his role as a partial co-author, who is incapable of depersonalized transmission of information between the writer of the source text and its recipient. The thesis itself is divided into three main parts. First part provides theoretical framework dealing with the general question of the process of translation and its principles. Second part consists of the translation of a part of the text in question. Third part concludes by analysing the chosen procedures and encountered problems in relation to the theoretical framework mentioned above.
