| This thesis will deal with the use of English loanwords in the Czech sociolect of gay men and other non-heterosexual persons. Firstly, the discourse of non-heterosexual language variations will be introduced for which “An Introduction to Sociolinguistics” by Janet M. Fuller and Ronald Wardhaugh will serve as the main source. The specific terms used by the non-heterosexual community will be investigated and listed, which will then provide a guideline to the analysis of English loanwords in the non-heterosexual Czech language variation. There are many English loanwords and other lexical phenomena frequently used amongst Czech non-heterosexual individuals, yet this topic has not received much research attention in the Czech environment so far. The primary resource and inspiration of this thesis is an article titled “Are ‘queers’ really ‘queer’? Language, Identity and Same-sex Desire in a South African Online Community” by Tommaso M. Milani from 2013, in which Milani created a corpus from the descriptions of profiles on a same-sex dating site named “Meet market”. The approach of this thesis will be similar, it will also be working with an online dating service – a dating app called “Grindr” - to study the language but, in this case, it is going to be analyzing the language from the descriptions of the profiles and also from real conversations of the users of the dating app. The specific language that is used by the app’s users will then be discussed. For the practical part of this thesis, approximately twenty Czech users of this dating app, aged 18-39, will be asked on the app to anonymously send ten conversations containing at least ten messages that they feel comfortable sharing. Descriptions of profiles will also serve as sources of data. English loanwords and other aspects of interest will be then analyzed and their usage will be discussed. The work will present an analysis of the Czech non-heterosexual sociolect in online CMC, which will reveal more about the behavior of this social group. Tato práce bude vypracována v anglickém jazyce. |
