Rotacism in Czech and its perceptual response
Šimková, Iva ; Černá, Martina (advisor) ; Skarnitzl, Radek (referee)
This bachelor thesis aims to contribute to the research of the relation between the speech of speakers with rhotacism and negative evaluation in the perception of their speech. A perception test was created based on the previous research concerned with the perception of disrupted speech and more detailed characteristics of rhotacism. The test was based on samples of utterances that were selected from the speech of five speakers with rhotacism. The test provided the necessary material for data analysis through indirect testing of the perceptive response of thirty-six respondents. The analysis deals with the comparison of the utterances which contained the problematic /r/ sound to the utterances which were missing the problematic /r/ sound as a result of the perceptive score. Based on the descriptive and frequentist statistics, it has been found that the utterances with rhotacism were evaluated more negatively than the utterances without the vibrant /r/. The thesis also attempts to expose the possible relations between the implemented type of rhotacism or the context in which the sound /r/ occurs, and the perceptive response of these phenomena.
