Abstract
Tato bakalářská práce je zaměřena na porozumění Ulster-skotského akcentu, patřícího mezi přízvuky, s nimiž se studenti angličtiny jakožto cizího jazyka ve svých hodinách běžně nesetkají, tedy takové, které nejsou v hodinách angličtiny běžně vyučovány. Pro potřeby této práce byl zvolen právě Ulster-skotský akcent, který je ve vztahu s akcentem skotským, a tudíž mezi ním a standardní britskou výslovností existuje relativní blízkost. Ačkoli se Ulster-skotský akcent od standardní britské výslovnosti odlišuje. Součástí této práce je teoretická a praktická část. Teoretická část se skládá z informací přibližujících čtenářům téma Ulster-Scots, neboť se nejedná pouze o akcent, ale také o jazyk, kulturu a obyvatele žijící na území zvaném Ulster v Severním Irsku. Také jsou zde uvedeny základní rozdíly mezi Ulster-skotským a standardním britským akcentem. Praktickou částí je výzkum prováděný mezi skupinou současných i bývalých studentů oboru Angličtina ve vzdělávání či jiných oborů Technické univerzity v Liberci. Tohoto výzkumu se účastnilo celkem 34 lidí s minimálně pokročilou úrovní angličtiny a měl za cíl zmapovat sílu porozumění neznámého přízvuku, stejně jako jejich postoj k tomuto přízvuku a přízvukům obecně.
This bachelor thesis deals with the comprehension of the Ulster-Scots accent, belonging to accents which students of English as a foreign language do not usually encounter in their lessons. It means accents that are usually not taught in the course of a usual English lesson in the Czech Republic. For the purpose of this thesis I chose the Ulster-Scots accent which is in relation with the Scottish one; therefore, it is in a relative close distance between itself and the Standard British English accent. However, there is a difference in the accents. This thesis contains theoretical and practical section. The theoretical section consists of background information about the topic Ulster-Scots, since it is not just an accent, but it relates also to a language, culture and people living in Ulster, Northern Ireland. The basic differences of the Ulster-Scots and the Standard English accents are also presented in this section. The practical section of this thesis is a research done among a group of current and graduated students of English in education as one of their fields of study at the Technical University of Liberec, or (graduated) students of other disciplines. 34 persons with at least the intermediate level of English participated in this research with the aim of mapping their comprehension of an unknown accent, as well as their attitude to the Ulster-Scots accent and to English accents in general.
