Guidelines

Cílem této bakalářské práce je zanalyzovat využívání vybraných diskurzních částic v mluveném jazyce pokročilých žáků angličtiny před a po studijním pobytu v anglicky mluvící zemi a zjistit, jestli dochází ke změně v jejich frekvenci užití. Praktická část práce je založena na analýze a komparaci transkripcí spontánní řeči pokročilých studentů angličtiny před a po studijním pobytu za použití metod korpusové lingvistiky. Výzkum bude proveden na vzorku z korpusu Czerasmus.
Tato práce je psána v anglickém jazyce.
