(in English): This thesis focuses on phonetic analysis of political discourse. Four most successful candidates from French presidential elections 2012 were chosen. The aim is to evaluate whether phonetic part of the speech is intentionally modified to satisfy target audience. Results are rather conclusive - there are essential differences among candidates. Contrary to expectations the highest style was found in speech of Marine Le Pen. Other speakers basically used standard style which varied in specific components. Several explanations for all these differencies were presented.

One of the chapters concerns the treatment of mute E in French songs and its treatment in poetry. The second part consists in an experimental study ; it contains the description and the results of three experiments concerning the two languages. The acoustic realization of schwa (or a "schwa-like" vocalic segment) is observed through production tasks and perception tests of syllabicity in French and Czech words. The acoustic analyses seem to support the well-known hypotheses that it is not just the effect of the phonological cribble, but also a mental representation of the graphical form that is operating in the process of the perception of a foreign language. Furthermore, the representation of the graphical form seems to play a role for French listeners when hearing their own language. The articulatory habits of native speakers can considerably influence not only the production of a foreign language being studied, but also its perception. In the case of our first two perception tests the French listeners were...
