Film Titles and Their Translations
Valčíková, Tereza ; Mareš, Petr (advisor) ; Bozděchová, Ivana (referee)
The presented diploma thesis deals with titles of films and TV serials made in anglophone countries or in their co-production, in which their titles were either translated from English to Czech, or possibly the original titles were presented to Czech viewers in original form. The thesis analyzes and classifies the structure of the original and translated titles, characterizes the linguistic means used in them and compares the two titles on the basis of the acquired knowledge. For the purpose of analyzing and comparing the titles, a corpus of titles obtained by an excerpt from the Czech-Slovak Film Database (ČSFD.cz), was created. Titles from the years 1990 to 2015 were placed into the corpus, and each year contains the same number of titles. In total, 625 titles of foreign films and TV serials which form the main corpus, and 200 titles of domestic films and TV serials which form the control corpus, were gathered. A short questionnaire illustrating title influence on viewers when choosing a film, is also part of this diploma thesis.

Valčíková, Tereza ; Mareš, Petr (advisor) ; Vaňková, Irena (referee)
The bachelor's thesis focuses on the non-marked and marked expressions of the titles in today's serious and tabloid press. It classifies composition of the newspaper titles, describes procedures used for informing and convincing the recipients and, on the basis of gained knowledge, establishes differences between the headlines in serious and tabloid press in particularly in terms of non-marked and marked expressions. To analyze the observed phenomena and to compare mutual qualities, a title corpus consisting of two Czech journals: Lidové noviny newspaper representing reputable printing and Blesk representing the tabloids was created. Selected journals were observed for two years (April 2012 - April 2014) and 300 titles in total were collected to the corpus.
