The dynamic character of phonetic reductions at the sentence level in spontaneous spoken English
 Dalešická, Lucie ; Machač, Pavel (advisor) ; Králová Zíková, Magdalena (referee)
(in English): This bachelor's thesis is concerned with the topic of phonetic reductions in spontaneous speech and its relationship with the recognition of speech units. Research was conducted on the English language using a method previously used as part of a research done on the Czech language. The aim of this research is to tackle questions pertaining to the topics of the existence of a) a unified pattern in the distribution of phonetic reductions in English sentences, b) a possible correlation between a calculated phonetic reduction rate of words and their recognizability, and c) the impact of the so-called 'chunking' on recognizability. The results of this thesis hint at a presence of a pattern in the distribution of phonetic reductions in English, a strong inverse relationship between the rate of phonetic reduction and recognizability, and a notable impact of chunking on perception. This thesis also mentions the influence of regional varieties of English on comprehensibility across those varieties.
