Guidelines

Bakalářská práce se zaměří na hedging v mluveném jazyce pokročilých studentů angličtiny před a po studijním pobytu v anglicky mluvící zemi s cílem ověřit, zda dochází změně prostředků vyjádření této strategie a/nebo frekvenci jejich užití.
V teoretické části bude vymezen pojem hedging, předpokládaná souvislost tohoto jevu s mírou pokročilosti studenta a představeny poznatky relevantní pro identifikaci jevu v mluveném jazyce. Praktická část práce bude založena na analýze a komparaci přepisů řeči pokročilých studentů angličtiny před a po studijním pobytu na vzorku z korpusu Czerasmus (cca 10 z každé fáze).
Práce bude psána v anglickém jazyce.
