This master's thesis deals with radio play and its dramaturgical specifics which arise from its sonic and auditory nature. In the beginning of thesis, we tried to inaugurate radio play into the field of literary genres based on its textual, performative and reception characteristic. We presented and thoroughly described basic elements of radio play, and we tried to contextualize them with chosen examples. With the application of Jakobson's communicational model we tried to show the specific function of the word and its relation to speaking and sound. Introducing the phenomenological analysis of a literary work we tried to show the particular place that radio play has among other literary genres, notably regarding its sound performance and reception. In the conclusion of the thesis we tried to introduce the semiotic analysis of radio play. We turned to sign theory of Charles S. Peirce and to his naming of the sign in its trichotomy icon, index and symbol. With introducing this kind of analysis we tried to look towards possible further research of radio play through specific narratological apparatus.
