Pragmatic aspects of communication with chatbots
Kopecký, Michal ; Krhutová, Milena (referee) ; Haupt, Jaromír (advisor)
Chatboti, programy schopné komunikovat s člověkem, jsou v posledních letech více a více oblíbení. Ale protože je umělá inteligence velmi složitá vědecká disciplína, je obtížné vybudovat robota, který by se v komunikaci podobal člověku. Tato práce poskytne stručný úvod do teorie chatbotů, kde a jak jsou využíváni, a technologie Zpracování přirozeného jazyka. Krátce bude popsáno několik chatbotů, společně s příkladovými konverzacemi. Hlavní důraz bude kladen na pragmatickou stránku konverzace s chatboty, zejména na dodržování konverzačních maxim a kooperačního a zdvořilostního principu. Získané poznatky budou názorně předvedeny na analýzách dialogů s chatbotem ve druhé části práce.

Speech Acts in Videogames
Šurýn, David ; Zmrzlá, Petra (referee) ; Sučková, Magda (advisor)
This bachelor thesis introduces a new approach of classifying interactions in video games based on the interaction between addressor and addressee and includes an analysis and comparison of speech acts in video games Life Is Strange and Call of Duty. This classification can be used to aid the process of analysis of speech acts in other video games and also assist game developers in the process of creating in-game interactions. To create such classification, the relation between the player and an interactable in-game element had to be prioritised. Then, the main classes of interactions in video games are introduced with each class containing specific types of speech acts. The analysis of speech acts in Life Is Strange and Call of Duty serves as an example of how this classification can be used and also shows many examples of how the game conveys information to the player. The list of interactions in this paper is not complete, but includes the most common and universal ones.

Pragmatics Aspects in Czech Language Textbooks for Elementary Schools
Michelčíková, Viktorie ; Chejnová, Pavla (advisor) ; Hájková, Eva (referee)
The topic of this thesis is communicative competence and pragmatic aspects in Czech language textbooks at elementary schools. Education aims to achieve six key competencies, including communicative competence. The thesis's theoretical part focuses on defining concepts such as pragmatics, gender, politeness, cooperative communication, dialogue, argumentation, and manipulation. In the practical part, the thesis analyses five third-year Czech language textbooks and examines to what extent pragmatic aspects are included in the textbooks. The research has shown that although pragmatic aspects are included in the textbooks, their level is not sufficient in most cases, and it is necessary to supplement these topics with additional supporting materials. The outcome of this work could be useful for Czech language teachers at the first level of primary schools who intend to focus on developing their pupils' communicative competence and improving their pragmatic communication skills. Keywords Argumentation, dialogue, gender, communicative competence, pragmatics, pragmatic aspects, manipulation, textbook, politeness

Then, corpora as well as speakers are described. Attention is paid to background data, which can influence the occurrence, frequency and function of the markers. The thesis also observes several interpretations of the term ``pragmatic marker{\crqq}. A detailed examination of individual pragmatic markers adopting the quantitative as well as qualitative approach follows.

Forms of address in Finnish in the context of dynamic politeness norms
Štauberová, Markéta ; Sherman, Tamah (advisor) ; Fárová, Lenka (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to describe the current state of select politeness phenomena in Finnish which are expressed through language structure, namely the forms of address.

Are there any special situations, occasions, places or institutions (...) in which speakers expect particular form of address? Have they experienced any recent changes? How is the possible rise in use of the V-form connected to the use of other politeness expressions in Finnish? The thesis begins with a general description of the most significant theoretical approaches to politeness. It, then, defines a place of forms of address within the linguistic politeness. The main theoretical basis for the thesis is linguistic pragmatics, in which politeness is seen as a dynamic interpersonal activity. Not only is politeness a linguistic phenomenon but it is also a matter of social behaviour. Therefore, it differs culturally but also situationally. In the second chapter, I examine the Finnish forms of address as a linguistic phenomenon. First, I consider nominal and pronominal forms of address, second, I explain the grammatical base for Finnish...
