Anglicisms and slang expressions in the speech of youtuber Squeezie
Mabbettová, Anna ; Suková Vychopňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Biegel, Madeleine (referee)
The present diploma thesis deals with the use of anglicisms and slang (argotic) expressions in the French language used by young people, based on the speech of the famous French youtuber Squeezie, who is understood here as a representative of said young generation, i.e. generation Z. The theoretical part defines the notion of loanwords and the specific situation for anglicisms in relation to French, from the historical influence of English on French to the types of anglicisms and language politics associated with them. It also discusses slang, or more specifically argot, its social context, word-formation processes, and the linguistic specifics of such slang in relation to the younger generation. The empirical part then provides an in-depth analysis of a selection of twenty of Squeezie's videos, identifying the number of occurrences, context of use and any thematic patterns or motivations for the use of all the anglicisms and slang terms used, drawing on the theory presented. KEYWORDS anglicisms, loanwords, argot, slang, youths, generation Z, lexicology

Past and Present of Romanian Argot
Amelian, Andrej ; Horáková, Jarmila (advisor) ; Našinec, Jiří (referee)
The aim of the master thesis is to introduce the Romanian argot from both a diachronic and a synchronic perspective. The uniqueness of the thesis lies in the fact that this issue has not been dealt with in depth in our country so far. The reader will gradually get acquainted with the general characteristics of the argot, the historical development of the Romanian argot, its basic sources, and the approaches of individual scholars, in the past marked by ideology. The author of the work describes in detail the areas where this sociolect is most present and shows the greatest productivity. Based on the available literature, he introduces us to the processes of argot word formation. The master thesis is addressed to those interested in Romanian non-literary colloquial speech.

demonstration story of the damn things
Vyhnálková, Adéla ; Nováček, Daniel (referee) ; Kubíková, Zuzana (advisor)
demo story of the damn things is a text “material“ and a long-term experiment in a form of an internet story. for me, it's a space to explore a narrative in all its possible aspects – definitions and standards of a book, different forms and media of storytelling, writing methods and the author's relationship to the text itself. the story works with a timeline, plot, linguistic and typographic variability. it deconstructs and redesigns language, creates its own grammar, works with nonlinearity, conscious incompleteness, imperfection and unreadability. and it does this to figure out how to write as honestly as possible. the story is a decision – to write things as they are and as one likes them. by taking inspiration in teen literature, diary novels, internet forums, blogs and automatic writing, a kind of "parody" of the book is created. and it does so by the demontration narrative about friendship, educational system, mental health, searching for a home, escaping into the wild and fitting into the social system

Student slang: formal and semantic analysis of Spanish in comparison with Czech
ŠIMONÍKOVÁ, Bára
This bachelor's thesis focuses on students' slang in both the Spanish and the Czech language, where it is further illuminated by semantic and formal analysis. The work is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical section deals with the characteristic linguistic features of student slang, which is primarily defined from a lexicological point of view and also presents the most common processes of student slang formation. The practical section uses a questionnaire survey to record the slang and informal expressions currently used by Czech and Spanish university students, and subsequently clarifies them by means of a comparative analysis. The work is supplemented by a small Spanish- Czech glossary of student "slangisms".
