Reading film and literature
Hřebcová, Zuzana ; Kalivodová, Eva (advisor) ; Fry, Alena (referee)
The first aim of this thesis is to translate Brian McFarlane's essay, Reading film and literature from The Cambridge Companion to Literature on Screen, so that it can be accepted by the Czech reader. Its second task is to comment on this translation; the commentary itself is conveniently arranged in three parts. The first part is dedicated to the translation analysis of the original text, its composition and to the relevance of the source context to the target recipient. The second part methodically describes problems that arose during the translation process and outlines their solution. The last part gives an account of the typology of translation shifts and tries to give reasons for their occurrence.

Shifts of a college students' idiolect under the influence of Prague Czech
Náhlíková, Anežka ; Hájková, Eva (advisor) ; Janovec, Ladislav (referee)
This work consists of two parts - practical and theoretical. The theoretical part deals with forms of Czech language in relation with an ordinary way of speaking. It covers topics from standard language through ordinary one, characteristics of dialects and a problematic of colloquial Czech language. It mentions also social differentiation of the language. One chapter deals with an introduction of the "Český jazykový atlas", which is considered as a base of dialectology. The theoretical part introduces different views of linguists on a current state of the language and its next development as well as a relation between standard and ordinary language. The practical part sets up a target to confirm an assumption, that long term living in Prague environment influences an idiolect of a student, who lives in a different place in the Czech Republic. The group for a verification of this assumption was set up from college students. The research was realised in a form of questionnaires and sound records.

Code-switching as an expresion of power and solidarity in Czechoslovak enviroment
Korenyiová, Mariana ; Samek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Halbich, Marek (referee)
Diploma thesis Code-switching as an expression of power and solidarity in Czechoslovakian environment deals with several crucial interpretational sets of code-switching based on a research with Czech and Slovak speaking participants of conversations in Czechoslovakian environment. It stresses various possible interpretational sets through which code-switching can be looked at. Code-switching is examined on the basis of conversational analysis of not solely Czechs and Slovaks. Code-switching is not interpreted only from macro-social perspective and the work anticipates also the importance of the sequence order in specific conversation. Chosen communicational code is to some extent always dependent on the participants' negotiation directly in the interaction. Furthermore, the emphasis is on the deeper knowledge of idiolect in a long term perspective and on a connection of the topic and the changing language code of the conversation. The last part of the text discusses the issue of alcohol and its impact on verbal behavior with emphasis on code-switching. Alcohol modifies human behavior and also the speech acts of each of us. The best known research in the field of alcohol consumption and language is taken into account. These studies are subsequently applied on the case studies of Czechoslovak code-switching.

Forensic analysis of anonymization strategies in English
Volná, Veronika ; Popelíková, Jiřina (advisor) ; Klégr, Aleš (referee)
The objective of this thesis is to identify those specific aspects of written style which native speakers of English modify when attempting to anonymize their texts. The conclusions are based on the analysis of 20 texts by 10 authors, all of whom are native speakers of English. Two texts dealing with the same topic were produced by each participant; one was written as an official letter of complaint, and the other was written as an anonymous letter. The bulk of the results are grounded on a qualitative stylistic analysis of the individual texts, with merely a brief survey of quantitative methods.The purpose of the introductory chapter is to familiarize the reader with the subject of forensic authorship analysis, to provide a brief summary of the current state of research, and to introduce a series of empirical studies. The practical part of the thesis presents the qualitative stylistic analysis, provides a shorter summary of the quantitative analysis, and finally ventures to draw meaningful conclusions from the results. The results showed that the majority of authors manipulated with the style/register of the texts and with the specific lexical choices, whereas none of the 10 authors made alterations to spelling and only 2 authors chose to change the punctuation in the anonymous text. However,...

The individual textual profile: a corpus-based study of idiolect
Leško, Marek ; Malá, Markéta (advisor) ; Klégr, Aleš (referee)
- EN The thesis analyzes the idiolect of the then-presidential candidate Barack Obama in the specific speech situation of the televized debates on the background of the utterances of other candidates in the years 2000, 2004 and 2008. The analysis uses corpus-driven methods to compare the Obama corpus with the reference corpus. The comparison is largely based on the analysis of keywords and their use in context, supplemented by the discussion of their collocations and associated clusters. The results of the analysis, i.e. the principal features Obama's idiolect, are presented in a structured summary, divided into specific areas. Keywords: Idiolect, individual textual profile, Obama, keywords, corpus, corpus-driven
