    Turn-taking strategies in internet chatrooms
    (Technická univerzita v Liberci, Česká republika, 2017-01-01) Hastrdlová, Šárka
    The language of the Internet Relay Chat (further IRC), which means instant synchronous conversation on the Internet, attracts attention of linguists thanks to its world-wide usage and massive development. The article briefly evaluates and discusses the language of this media from the point of view of turn-taking strategies. A major concern is how chat participants use the language that is determined by specific conditions of an Internet chatroom. These conditions are anonymity, exclusively text-based interaction and the absence of audio-visual cues. A model of turn-taking in a spoken conversation is used and applied to the Internet chatting. Various strategies are investigated and compared, qualitative and quantitative analyses are carried out to determine the relationship between individual turn-taking strategies. In conclusion, the findings with respect to the distinctive character of the medium are summarized.

    Der kulturelle Hintergrund der Fachübersetzung
    (Technická univerzita v Liberci, Česká republika, 2017-01-01) Tellinger, Dušan
    The influence of national cultures is of great importance in all kinds of scientific translation. It seems that not only literary translations, but also scientific translations, are interlingual and intercultural processes. Both literary and non-literary texts may include so-called realia. Translators and interpreters as ideal cultural brokers may gain experience with a flexible bridging role which incorporates language and cultural mediation of scientific discourse. It should be perceived as a unique opportunity for the development of cultural and language competence in lifelong praxis. Only full language and cultural awareness can guarantee that all modifications of a source text to the target culture are included in a broad spectrum, be it scientific articles, commercials or mass media texts.

    (Technická univerzita v Liberci, Česká republika, 2017-01-01) Vlčková, Irena
    The Faculty of Economics of the Technical University of Liberec and the University of West Saxony in Zwickau (Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau in Germany) have set a common goal: to equip their graduates through a joint project not only with flexible expertise but also language competencies with an intercultural and communicative focus on practice in the Czech-Saxon border region. The aim of the three-year project “ProFit in Profession – Language and Professional Sensitization During Studies” supported by the European Regional Development Fund is to improve the chances of university graduates to successfully enter the regional and boarder job market. The paper deals with the analysis of the current state of teaching German for Specific Purposes and justifies the inclusion of new components in teaching. The paper also describes activities that will support the already existing cross-border cooperation between the two universities and encourage students to intensively study the language of the neighbouring country.

    Těšín optikou geografického výzkumu rozdělených měst
    (Technická univerzita v Liberci, Česká republika, 2017-01-01) Boháč, Artur
    The submitted study presents the phenomenon of divided cities which is closely connected with the Central European space and its historical and political issues, related to the specific environment of the town of Těšín (Český Těšín/Cieszyn). In the first chapter, the author focuses on the theoretical framework of the phenomenon of divided cities. Although it is an examined issue, there are many terminological ambiguities. In its other parts the article outlines geography and the complex history of the two times divided city and attempts to connect them with specific typology of divided cities. Apart from that, the author, due to his professional orientation, focuses mainly on the international, political, geopolitical and ethnic connections of Těšín and Těšínsko region. Attention is also paid to the functioning of Těšín within the European Union, which has long been trying to suppress the influence of national borders and feelings of historical injustice among European nations.
