Use of Sense Relations in Expressing Language Humour: TV Series Analysis
Kopicová, Linda ; Matuchová, Klára (advisor) ; Vít, Radek (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on sense relations, the syntagmatic and the paradigmatic axis, and their use in expressing language humour. The analysis was carried out in a corpus extracted from the TV series Friends and How I Met Your Mother. It strives to answer the question whether the sitcoms display the same number of comical incidences both in the first and the last season. Furthermore, it sheds some light on the linguistic realizations employed and the way they operate to trigger laughter. Finally, the thesis provides an insight into the universal tendencies of humour realizations and their reflection in the amassed data.

Use of lingustic ambiguity in sexist advertising demonstrated on works from the competition Sexistické prasátečko
Nápravníková Kořanová, Johana ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (advisor) ; Shavit, Anna (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with double entendre in sexist advertising. Sexist advertising uses many vehicles of expression and linguistic phenomena but double entendre seems to be one of the most favourite ones. This thesis aims to analyze the vehicles of expression (both textual and visual) that lead to and permit perceiving the sexual meanings in sexist adverts. The introduction part discusses the theory of the vehicles of expression, deals with intertextuality and pragmatic aspects of adverts. The second part focuses on sexism, the nature of sexual information present in adverts, perception and effectiveness of those information. It also outlines the most frequent vehicles of expression in sexist ads and its ethics. The author then defines in details two vehicles - contextualization of text and image and double entendre. We take semiotic and semantic approach to them. The last section applies all the theoretical findings on particular adverts from the competition Sexistické prasátečko (The sexist little pig).
