Transgender Persons' Perspectives on Gender Transition
Svobodová, Marie ; Hrešanová, Ema (advisor) ; Tučková, Anna (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the topic of gender transition from the transgender perspective. In the Czech Republic gender transition is under the thumb of sociology. The aim of this thesis is to find out what is the relation between the perspective of sexology and the experience of people who are undergoing gender transition and identify as transgender. Special attention is paid to embodiment as an important aspect of gender transition. In addition, the thesis deals with the opinions of transgender people regarding the process of gender transition. This thesis is qualitative, and it's based on biographic interviews with transgender individuals. The main discovery is that the transgender embodiment proves to be quite diverse and complex. How transgender individuals regard their bodies depends not only on their personal perception of self, but also on social conditions. Therefore, the unanimous narrative sexology puts through seems to be inaccurate and not inclusive enough of all trans experiences. This was affirmed by the transgender people themselves who were critical towards the transgender perspective and the system of gender transition in the Czech Republic.

Temporal configurations of Czech stress-group in connection with its phonotactic structure
Churaňová, Eliška ; Volín, Jan (advisor) ; Palková, Zdenka (referee) ; Hes Svobodová, Marie (referee)
The main objective of this thesis is to explore the relationships between the phonotactic structure of the Czech stress-group and the rhythm of speech. Three most frequent consonantal-vocalic structures of Czech two-syllable stress-groups were selected for the purposes of this thesis: CVCV, CVCCV and CVCCV. In an auditory experiment, which contained the comparison of two stress-groups or the comparison of a stress-group and a low-frequency shadow of a stress-group, the respondents established how similar the rhythm of each couple of stress-groups sounded. The results indicate that the position of a consonantal cluster within the stress-group is the strongest phonotactic factor in perception of the rhythmic similarity. The number of consonants within a consonantal cluster and the presence of a long vowel in both stress- groups were considered weaker factors for perceiving the rhythmic similarity by the respondents. Possibilities for a follow-up research were proposed for the factors that did not reach statistical significance, i.e., the difference in sonority or voicing of consonants. Keywords: speech rhythm, stress-group, phonotactics, consonantal-vocalic structure, Czech

Acoustic properties of Czech diphthongs
Studenovský, David ; Palková, Zdenka (advisor) ; Zimmermann, Július (referee) ; Hes Svobodová, Marie (referee)
This thesis aims to contribute to the basic acoustic description of Czech diphthongs [ou, au, eu]. The diphthong is a unit characterized by the change of quality within its duration, thus dividing it into two parts. The analysis of this change and the phonologic interpretation of these two-part segments in the system of a given language is however difficult. This is why the description of diphthongs was frequently neglected. At the present time, the need for investigating such units is increasing - neurophonetic and psychological research on the one hand and speech technology on the other are more and more interested in examining speech segments with short temporal changes. To obtain a detailed acoustic description of diphthongs is a topical problem of current language description. In this thesis we studied the aspects of duration, spectrum and intensity changes at the local level and compared them with results acquired for simple vowels. In the temporal domain we observed the duration values divided by the initial, transient and final part of the diphthongs on the basis of auditory perception and also their total duration. The material used was partly taken from the database of the Institute of Phonetics, Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague, partly from specifically created texts. The...
