Comparison of English and French Vocalic Systems
Havránková, Anna ; Červinková Poesová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Vít, Radek (referee)
This thesis examines the vocalic systems of English and French. In the theoretical part the quality and quantity of English and French vowels are described and compared. In addition, different grapheme-to-phoneme correspondences are shown. The practical part presents a comprehensive analysis of sound material obtained from twelve French native speakers who recorded several lists of carefully selected English words. The aim is to identify the most common pronunciation mistakes which might contribute to the perception of French accent and to understand their occurrence on the basis of the previously made comparison. The results indicate a variety of mistakes partly caused by a complicated English grapheme-to-phoneme correspondence, partly by the influence of different correspondences in French and also by the existence of common lexis in both languages. All the data are supported with graphs.
