Variability of selected acoustic characteristics of nasals in poetry reading
Straková, Leona ; Šturm, Pavel (advisor) ; Chládková, Kateřina (referee)
(in English) Many studies in Czech or other languages studied variability. However, these studies were focused on variability in speech or in written texts and there are not many studies about variability of nasal consonants. This thesis is focused on variability of nasal consonants where speakers are reciting a poem. This poem consists of many nasal consonants and there are two strophes which are similar (the first and the fourth). This thesis consists of a theoretical part where we summarize facts about nasals in generous and about variability. We describe factors and theirs influence on the durations and harmonicity of nasals consonant and we also included the articulation rate. The analytic part is based on recordings of 32 speakers. We analyse the articulation rate through the poem, then through strophes and verses. The second analysis focuses on the durations of nasals. At first, we analyse the durations in the first three strophes, which differ from each other, across the speakers. The durations of nasals were influenced by accents, positions in the phrases and the presence of nasals in cluster (clusters only influence the nasal [n], which occurs most frequently). For every factor we create graphs. These graphs illustrate the influences of these factors on nasal durations. The last analysis...
