Kružíková, Kateřina ; Jirků, Jan (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the written form of New Year's and Christmas speeches of the three presidents of the Czech Republic, i.e., Václav Havel (speeches from years 1994- 2003), Václav Klaus (speeches from years 2004-2013) and Miloš Zeman (speeches from years 2013-2021). The thesis will set the speeches in the context of the lives of the presidents, analyze them from a linguistic, semiotic, and content perspective, and will compare them with each other. The thesis will focus on the topics the presidents raise, as well as potential elements of influencing public opinion. In the framework of the analysis, the thesis will consider the response of the media to the speeches. The aim of the thesis is on one hand to determine how the personalities and life experiences of statesmen influence the creation of their speeches, and on the other to contribute to a deeper understanding of the presidential office and to explore its evolution throughout the thirty years of the existence of the independent Czech Republic.

Comparative analysis of Czech and French constitutional regulation of the Presidency and analysis of relevant legal terminology
BLAŽKOVÁ, Kateřina
The primary goal of this work is to confirm or disprove the hypothesis that the French president has, in the contemporary constitutional framework, a stronger position than the Czech one. Its secondary goal is to define and specify the relevant terminology of this field of law. This work is divided into four chapters. The first two describe the presidential institution from three different points of view: the creation of their mandates, the mandates themselves and presidential powers. The first one discusses the situation in the Czech Republic; the second in France. The third and principal chapter of this work is dedicated to the comparison of the Czech and the French presidential institution. We compare them to the same viewpoints as described in chapters one and two. The fourth and final chapter analyses the language used in this field of French law, especially with regards to Czech translations. A non-exhaustive glossary of French-Czech vocabulary used in the work can be found at the end of this chapter. The work concludes with a French résumé.
