My diploma thesis analyses the style and the language of the most important events between 1968 and 1969 which were published in the most important journals of that time. It deals not only with social, cultural, political and sports events but also with events which cannot be classified into any section mentioned above and which belong to the so called {\clqq}other`` section. The texts are chosen from Rudé právo, Mladá fronta and Svobodné slovo. My diploma thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practi-cal part.
