French nasal vowels: Their perception and realization in case of Czech native speakers
Kubešová, Tereza ; Nováková, Sylva (advisor) ; Nádvorníková, Olga (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on realization of French nasal vowels, more precisely on their recognition in the text and subsequent realization by Czech native speakers. The thesis is based on the assumption that the realization of the nasal vowels is quite difficult for Czech speakers, due to the absence of these phones in the Czech language. The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the description of the French phonological system and its phones. In more detail, it deals with French nasal vowels. Furthermore, the main differences between the French and Czech phonological system are analyzed. Finally, there is a short discussion of French orthoepy. The practical part of this work consists mainly of the analysis of the Czech students' recordings and the analysis of their mistakes in realization of nasal vowels. The aim is to confirm the initial assumption that nasal vowels cause difficulties for the Czech audience. Finally, this paper presents a brief insight into the French textbooks, and how they deal with the problem, namely, the nasal vowels. Key words: Nasal vowel, phone, phoneme, phonetics, phonology, pronunciation
