Sport´s Topic in Czech Literature in 30th and 40th of 20th Century.

This bachelor thesis is concerned with the topic of sport in the Czech literature in the 30´s and 40´s of 20th century. At first I discussed the question of the kinds of sports which appeared in the then literature. I chose four key works for my bachelor thesis and I focused on the expressive writing of the authors connected with sport. I illustrated the spontaneous speeches of the characters so that the work can be classified as sports literature. After that I characterized the sport dictionary and its relation to the then discourse. Finally, I determined the pictures which are typical for sports literature. For my thesis, I chose the novels Jan Kalista hockeyista, Kožený míč (Leather ball), Vydržte až do finiše (Hang on to Finish) and Muži v ofsajdu (Men in Offside). Every work contained linguistic terms to help characterize the then discourse
