Přízvuk a redukce nepřízvučných slabik u českých uživatelů angličtiny: britská vs. americká angličtina
UNGER, Filip
This Diploma thesis studies the ability of Czech users of English to distinguish stress-related pronunciation aspects of British and American English, and to utilize this in their own speech. In the first part, therefore, I identify and describe the most prominent differences in the two regional standards. In the second part, after working with Czech participants using a dialogue, a prepared text and questionnaires about recordings of native British and American speakers, I present findings on the variables explored. I also study the general awareness in Czech users of English of the stress-related pronunciation differences between British and American English by means of a questionnaire sent to randomly chosen Czech natives. The conclusions of this thesis serve as practical recommendations for the teaching of English pronunciation in Czech schools, and suggest possible ways of broadening the thesis.
