    Bilingual Language Acquisition in a Hungarian-Speaking Slovak Village, Rad
    (2013-02-25T15:20:42Z) Horcinova, Edina; Kissné Gulyás, Judit; DE--TEK--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    Nowadays over half of the world’s population can be considered to be bilingual. The majority of people acknowledge that in today’s world knowing one language is not enough. Just consider the fact that in applying for a job the fluent use of at least two languages is a basic requirement and the situation is the same in the university context as well. Consequently or as a result of this, a lot of people choose to be bilingual so to learn a second or even a third language. These people are mostly teenagers and adults. We also have to take those into consideration who have the chance to live in a bi- or multilingual society, or those who are born into such a society, and contrary to those who learn the target language as a foreign language, they acquire the second or even the third language in native environment. In this situation besides adults we can find young people, the subjects of my thesis.

    The Language of Lee Evans Stand-Up Comedy
    (2013-01-21T12:36:46Z) Horcinova, Edina; Furkó, Bálint Péter; DE--TEK--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    The study attempts to explore the ways in which stand-up comedians plan and deliver their jokes in order to create humour and make the audience appreciate their performances in forms of laughter or applause. After summarizing the main theories attempting to define comedy, namely the superiority, incongruity and release theory, a short review of the history of stand-up comedy in Britain and in America has been illustrated. This is followed by the summary of the main findings of humour research. In order to provide authentic material, the transcription of an act performed by Lee Evans serves as the data for the analytical part of the work. The strategy Lee Evans applies during his routines is a blend of various rhetorical and linguistic devices such as ridicule, simile, hyperbole and word play performed in the combination with paralanguage, intonation shifts, repetition, pauses, and disfluences. Furthermore, the humorist pays a great attention on the audience, and reacts to their response making his presentation more lively and spontaneous.
