The dissertation called ``Language and style of written Czech journalism in the year 2009 compared with the year 1989{\crq}q sets a target to describe means of language used in texts of Mladá fronta DNES from January to December 2009 and afterwards to compare the linguistic means with lexical means which figure in texts of a daily Rudé právo in the year 1989, also from January to December. The theoretical part of the dissertation briefly characterizes the journalistic style, its form and structure, an individual chapter deals with the history of journalism. Other chapters give us a brief summary of events in years 1989 and 2009 and they describe the history and structure of the dailies, which we compare. In the second, practical part of the dissertation the author was looking up lexical means used in chosen journalistic texts, primarily means which are automatic and contemporized, set phrases and their types. The excerpted expressions are divided into individual chapters afterwards. In the second part of the dissertation we focus on describing these means and on their function in the text on the basis of the collected linguistic material. After that we will briefly try to express changes in the vocabulary depending on social and political changes in the certain period.
