Measuring authenticity of dialogues: English textbooks and sitcom scripts
HÁLOVÁ, Alžběta
This diploma thesis measures the authenticity of model dialogues in English textbooks for advanced learners and conversations occurring in situation comedies. The theoretical part focuses on the communication process, its models and channels. Subsequently, context is presented as well as its importance in speech. Attention is then paid to collocations as well as to classification of the genre of situation comedy. The practical part presents the research of sitcom and textbooks dialogues. The data were collected from four sitcoms (two of British and American origin) and CAE and TOEFL textbooks. The analysis concentrates on the most frequent nouns and their collocations. The findings are then compared, and the most frequent expressions are studied with the help of national corpora of British and American spoken English. The result of this thesis is that both textbook and sitcom dialogues include authentic material.
A lexico-semantic analysis of phrasal verbs in English and their Czech equivalents/Lexiko-sémantická analýza frázových sloves v angličtině a jejich české ekvivalenty
HÁLOVÁ, Alžběta
This Bachelor thesis deals with phrasal verbs and their Czech equivalents. The theoretical part focuses on the basic word-formation processes in English and Czech language with more attention on the process of verbal affixation. Phrasal verbs are then described in detail and how the literature approaches this phenomenon. In the practical part, corpus-based research of the most frequent phrasal verbs is practised. Then the analysis of the data follows. Czech equivalents are assigned for each of the findings and it is evaluated how the results correspond with each other. In the final part of the thesis, a new approach to phrasal verbs is proposed as a new possible method of dealing with these units or even as a new teaching method.
