Vagueness in English university Arts and Humanities lectures
 Podsedníková, Andrea ; Malá, Markéta (advisor) ; Šaldová, Pavlína (referee)
The present thesis focuses on the classification and description of individual groups of vague language devices. Furthermore, it describes the differences between the written and spoken academic register and the various functions of language in academic lectures. The material for the analysis is drawn from the British Academic Spoken English (BASE) corpus. The first section of the analysis is based on six excerpts from Arts and Humanities lectures, each 2000 words long. The vague language devices in the excerpts are analysed and classified into the groups described in the theoretical part of the thesis. The functions of the individual groups and the reasons why the occurrence of some of the groups is prominent in different parts of lectures are analysed. The second analysis describes three word classes with the highest occurrence in the previous research. This analysis is based on all Arts and Humanities lectures in the BASE corpus. It describes the most frequent collocations and the immediate surroundings of the words examined. Key words: vagueness, university lectures, functions of language
