Development and change in the quality of singing voice in women after the age of 50 and methods leading to optimisation of their vocal expression.
Hořejší, Anna ; Marešová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Filippi, Lukáš (referee)
A singing voice is a unique means of expressing people's emotions and feelings, helping one's mental health and satisfying the need for self-realization. Due to natural aging, health factors or lifestyle, problems may occur with age that affect vocal expression itself, such as voice color change, vocal range change, problems with singing longer phrases, or breathing difficulties. This phenomenon is not studied as intensively in the professional literature as, for example, the development of a child's voice, yet it is important to address it because it is an integral and inevitable part of the development of the voice and its effects have a negative impact on the psychological well-being of the singers. This work deals with the study of this phenomenon. Based on a literature review and a survey of amateur choral singers conducted, the work verified the existence of the phenomenon and summarizes information about specific problems, their causes and impacts on vocal expression. On the basis of information from this survey, more detailed interviews were carried out with singing teachers to obtain information about their personal experiences with the phenomenon and the methods used to minimize the effects of the various causes of the change in the quality of voice during this period. The work then...

Hořejší, Anna ; Jančík, Jiří (advisor) ; Listíková, Renáta (referee)
TITLE: The etymological analysis of colour names and related idioms AUTHOR: Anna Hořejší DEPARTMENT: Department of the French language and literature SUPERVISOR: Mgr. Jiří Jančík ABSTRACT: This diploma thesis concerns the etymological analyses of colour names in the French language and related idioms. In the theoretical part we present the basic linguistic terminology necessary for the accomplishment of the etymological analyses; the practical part concerns the analyses itself. The objective of the thesis is to deeply analyze the six basic colours both from the etymological and symbolic point of view. Furthermore, the thesis concerns the etymological analyses of colours the names of which are to some extend specific and remarkable. We talk about colours like: fox tail, bonbon, the Berlin blue, tea, khaki, pearl or snow, divided into groups according to the word they contain (colours containing a name of an animal, food, liquid, material, the place of origin, etc.). These colours are examined not only etymologically; we are also interested in the reason for which they are called so. In the last part of the thesis we scrutinize also idioms containing a name of a colour; we talk about idioms like white night, yellow danger, to be bad like a red donkey, cordon bleu or green tongue. In this case, our goal is to...

The old house - Ruin or Home?
Hořejší, Anna ; Haluzík, Radovan (advisor) ; Beseda, Jan (referee)
The main topic of this diploma thesis is the reconstruction of an old house. This is concepted in the perspective of "material culture studies", where the material object (a house) works as a starting point for the understanding of the human values, relationships, feelings and attitudes. These characteristics were studied in the qualitative research (the fieldwork), in the area near Prague. The dynamics of this area corresponds to the context of my work which is based on the background of the relationship between "the Old and/ versus the New" and the relationship between "Town and/versus Country". The work starts with the theoretical part, which is orientated on the actual phenomenons of "suburbanization" and "dream about the family house" and on the contrast of an old and a new house. Then a study of the "ruin" (and its social signals and contexts) follows. The "core" of the work can be found in the practical part. It describes the stories of the concrete reconstructions and with the analyses of the meanings that have emerged on the surface. We observe a specific "transformation of the ruin in the home", a mutual "taming" between the man and the old house and the inner dynamics of this process. There is not only an adaptation of the building, but also the changes of its occupants - overcoming of...
