Abstract

V originále

The study looked into personal advertisements submitted by Australians of Anglo-Saxon origin and by immigrants. Advertisements submitted by people from other cultures (immigrants) do not exhibit significant differences in the structure or lexis, it is rather rather the offered and required qualities, such as education, intellectual qualities, socializing an permanent commitment in relationships which point at the values recognized in their home culters, thus contrasting with the easy-going, laid back attitudes which can be traced in advertisements submitted by Australians of Anglo-Saxon origin.

In Czech

Studie se zabývá srovnáním seznamovacích inzerátů podaných imigranty a Australany anglo-saského původu.Zatímco struktura a lexis inzerátů jsou zcela srovnatelné, jsou rozdíly v požadovaných a nabízených vlastnostech. Imigranti kladou větší důraz na intelekt a trvalý partnerský vztah, čímž kontrastují s neambiciózními Australany anglo-saského původu.
