The theoretical part focuses on the function of weak forms in spoken English as well as the rules for their occurrence. Furthermore, it outlines different approaches to teaching weak forms in EFL context. The practical part of the work examines the pronunciation of the strong and weak form of the word that in the speech of advanced Czech learners of English and assesses the degree to which they reduce the strong form into its weak counterpart in required environments.

Teaching Mandarin pronunciation: the cliticoids and basic types of phonetic chunks
Třísková, Hana
The paper is concerned with an important group of Chinese words, belonging to the high frequency items of the lexicon: monosyllabic function words such as prepositions, personal pronouns etc. They carry lexical tone, thus have a potential to be stressed. Yet, due to their deficiency in lexical meaning and frequent usage, they regularly behave as unstressed (and phonetically reduced) in connected speech. They receive stress (i.e. full pronunciation) only occasionally, particularly if emphasised. A new term is coined for these words: “the cliticoids”. The author provides their list and reviews the pitfalls of their pronunciation, observing that the Chinese cliticoids display similar features as so called “words with weak forms” found in English. Finally, short (2–3 syllabic) chunks of speech which contain the cliticoids are introduced. They are particularly designed for exercising the unstressed, reduced pronunciation of the cliticoids in L2 teaching. They are termed “phonetic chunks”.
