Lexical-gustatory Synaesthesia in Native Speakers of Czech
Hupáková, Kateřina ; Chromý, Jan (advisor) ; Lehečková, Eva (referee)
This thesis presents the current knowledge about synesthesia as a specific mode of perception where a sensation (i.e. an inducer) induces another sensation which is not actually present (i.e. a concurrent). Special attention is paid to lexical-gustatory synaesthesia, a special type of synesthesia in which taste is the concurrent (word > taste). The empirical part of the thesis is devoted to practical research of lexical-gustatory synaesthesia among Czech native speakers. It describes the methodology of data collection including a questionnaire survey and the selection of respondents. The core and main benefit of the thesis lies in the detailed descriptions of four selected lexical-gustatory synaesthetes with whom we conducted a one-hour interview questioning the nature of their experiences. The information obtained from this research together with realted related the findings from the literature are summarized in the conclusion of this thesis.

Relation between graphemes and colours in native speakers of Czech
Džupová, Olga ; Chromý, Jan (advisor) ; Adam, Robert (referee)
The thesis consists of three parts. In the first part, synaesthesia is described and previous research in grapheme-colour synaesthesia is analyzed. The second part introduces an experiment on Czech synaesthetes which is a replication of an experiment described by Julia Simner et al. in Non-random associations of graphemes to colours in synaesthetic and non-synaesthetic populations. The third part is concerned with an interpretation of acquired results and comparison of these results with data from English speaking synaesthetes.
