(in English) The topic of the bachelor thesis is the manifestations of aphasia in deaf people - Czech Sign Language Users. The basic definition of this disorder is presented and the existing considerations about the localization of language in the brain are described. Attention is also focused on the contributions of linguistics to the study of aphasia. The central part of this thesis is concerned with aphasia in sign language. It describes the manifestations of this speech disorder in the foreign sign languages studied so far. The work includes two case studies of deaf patients - speakers of Czech sign language who show manifestations of the fatal disorder due to acquired brain damage. The case studies are aimed at describing different representations of aphasia in different language levels.
