Language and Style of Contemporary Czech Writers (Michal Viewegh, Petr Šabach)

The diploma thesis The Language and Style of Contemporary Czech Writers (Michal Viewegh, Petr Šabach) is focused on the comparison of selected literary works written by the authors. The aim of this thesis is particularly to affect the similar and different linguistic construction of the books. The thesis is based on the free choice of two works by one author: the first book is from the beginning of his works, the second is his later work. In the analysis of the selected books is an emphasis on morphological, syntactic and lexical levels, standard and non-standard language units. The thesis is also focused on the analysis of the "spoken language" in the works of both authors. The diploma thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. There is a short excursion into theoretical issues of linguistic and textual construction of artistic texts in the first part. The second part is devoted to current trends in art and literature, and it is followed by the necessary minimum of information about the authors and works. The practical part deals with particular analysis of identical and different language units at particular language levels used in a range of characters and the range of narrator and also deals with the stylization of "spoken language" in the selected works. The analysis was carried out with books Názory na vraždu (1990) and Andělé všedního dne (2007) by Michal Viewegh; Jak potopit Austrálii (1986) and Občanský průkaz (2006) by Petr Šabach
