Politeness in the Czech Republic and Abroad : a contrastive Study of one Act of Communication - Greetings
Vegnerová, Hana ; Chejnová, Pavla (advisor) ; Hirschová, Milada (referee)
Communication is everyday basic interaction among people, which consists of two components, verbal and nonverbal. A prerequisite for successful communication is politeness, which is discussed in this thesis. This thesis focuses more-in-depth on one act of communication, greetings. Attention is paid on greetings in Czech and German language. The work is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with the pragmatics and communication. It defines the concepts of politeness (brief part is dedicated to its history, its functions and linguistic access to it), discourtesy and greeting. The practical part is focused on the questionnaires that have been used for data collection. Answers to questions are tabulated in percentage terms and in comparative text processing, which was the aim of my thesis. The result of the research is the conclusion that both languages express politeness in a very similar way. German greetings are more diverse and less formal thanks to the influence and acceptance of English words.

Svobodová, Michaela ; Chejnová, Pavla (advisor) ; Hirschová, Milada (referee)
This work deals with politeness, politeness strategies and thanking and accepting thanks in the Czech Republic. At first, the thesis processes the issue from a theoretical point of view, there are presented the findings and theories of Czech and foreign linguists, who are interested in politeness and communication, several approaches toward polite or impolite behaviour. I describe in detail thanking and responses to thanks, expressions of gratitude and ingratitude; there are presented the topics, which directly relate to the issue, too. The practical part deals with the research of supposed responses of respondents - thanking and accepting thanks - in specific situations. The task isn't to research the using of speech, but the utterance considered as polite and suitable in the situation. I chose the questionnaire with 5 open questions, where respondents were asked to write the answer according to their experience. The research was oriented on respondents of both sexes between the ages of 14 to 42 years. The results are given in real numbers (firstly both sexes together and then separately). Finally, the results and findings are analysed and interpreted. Keywords: politeness, speech etiquette, Czech culture, thanking, accepting thanks

The process of cultural adaptation of american immigrants to the Czech culture
Herbočková, Lucie
This bachelor thesis deals with the adaptation of American immigrants to the Czech culture. The aim is to determine how American immigrants respond to the Czech environment, perceive the differences, and to determine what factors influence the adaptation process. The theoretical part describes the basic definitions such as culture, migration, acculturation, enculturation, and the theories of intercultural adaptation. This part is based on many accredited authors and researchers such as P. Adler, M. Bennett, J. Berry, G. Hofstede, K. Oberg, P. Pedersen, E. Tylor and many others. The practical part of the research is the adaptation of American immigrants to the Czech culture itself. The aim of this thesis is measured and determined by semi-structured interview and questionnaires, especially Cross-Cultural Adaptation Inventory (CCAI). The research results give us a subjective view of the adaptation of immigrants and determine how factors such as age, gender, length of stay, and level of education affect the adaptation itself.
