Machová, Barbora ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (advisor) ; Kraus, Jiří (referee)
Diploma thesis "Language of the Internet News versus Journalistic Language in the print media: Pragmalinguistic Analysis", deals with the phenomenon of convergence of the Internet news language and language of the journalistic texts in print media. Our research verifies hypothesis that "language of the Internet news has much in common with the language of the journalistic texts in print media." About thirty-eight journalistic texts and internet news from MF DNES and Lidové noviny newspapers and www.idnes.cz and www.lidovky.cz websites were analyzed. Also selected concepts of pragmalinguistic and linguistic text analysis were chosen to identify these in common phenomena and to draw conclusions on the convergence of the internet news language and language of the journalistic news in print media. Diploma thesis examines only those linguistic phenomena that appear both in the Internet news and print journalistic texts.

Diploma thesis "The Identity Construction of Teenage Girls in Internet Media and Magazines" deals with media texts which are being addressed to teenage girls; with a special attention to three significant media types of this area of concern. These are represented by the magazine Bravo Girl!, the blog dominikamyslivcova.cz and the website jenproholky.cz. The aim of the thesis is to describe and analyze these texts in detail; e.g. in the areas which are characteristic for them and could represent an element of high importance in the process of constructing the living reality of their recipients. The thesis also assumes how media could participate on their identity construction; their recognized values, opinions, thinking and lifestyle. Not only the thesis is concerned with the production of these specific texts and their features, it also focuses on the character of the interaction these media initiate towards the audience. It also tends to describe the receptive process the members of audience perform and how they react back, towards the media. To fulfill this goal, the pragmalinguistic analysis of the language features and communication strategies was used. Also the semiotic analysis was chosen, to the description of the structures of meaning, myths and ideologies within the texts. As a conclusion,...

Pražáková, Tereza ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (advisor) ; Šoltys, Otakar (referee)
The diploma thesis entitled 'Pragmalinguistic Analysis of Commercial Communication of the Brand Activia by Danone' aims to provide a comprehensive treatise of the above mentioned brand from the point of view of pragmatic and linguistic theories, based on a selected sample of advertising from 2010 - 2014. The introductory theoretical part defines the functions of advertising and their idiosyncratic communication and place them within the wider context of marketing. Subsequently, the position of the product within the segment offered by Danone is described and comparison of the respective marketing strategies for each product is made. The methodological section of the thesis introduces pragmatic linguistics as the central tool used in the ensuing analysis. Here the terms related to the process of communication are emphasised, same as the relationships between the creator of a text, its recipient and the text itself. The last, analytical part deals with selected samples of commercial communication using the aforementioned methods. A sample of Activia Danone communication is then used to analyse the usage of individual linguistic and stylistic means, as well as advertising types with emphasis on their goals as a form of communication.

The paper aims to examine the textbook so as to prove or disprove a hypothesis predicting that the book's conception creates a stereotypical image of men and women. To support the thesis, the author prepared a questionnaire and distributed it among a target group of 50 secondary school students in an attempt at seeking their opinions.
