Structural and temporal attributes of consonantal intervals in pre-school children
Kropíková, Alena ; Volín, Jan (advisor) ; Studenovský, David (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to describe the realizations of consonant clusters in an age- homogenous group of Czech-speaking children. The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the syllable and consonant clusters as language universals, as well as with the syllable structure and consonant clusters in Czech. Furthermore, some theories of speech acquisition which take combinations of segments and forming of syllable structure in children's speech into account are also presented. A number of studies in consonant cluster acquisition is also summarized. The practical part of this work consists of an experiment in which consonant clusters in 16 typically developing Czech children aged 3;8-4;9 ( x = 4,4) were analysed. Eleven various two-element consonant clusters were selected according to their frequency of occurrence in the corpus of written Czech. Clusters were placed in 30 real words and 30 pseudowords - the pseudowords had the same structure as real words. Imitation was used as a elicitation method. Pictures were used only as complementary elements. The entire sample consisted of 461 consonant clusters realized in real words and 464 clusters realized in pseudowords. We described the structure of the target consonant clusters (i.e. manner and quality/accuracy of realizations) and their...
The influence of Czech on the production of English consonant clusters by Vietnamese EFL learners living in the Czech Republic
Nguyenová, Thi Lam ; Červinková Poesová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Lancová, Klára (referee)
The aim of this Bachelor thesis is to find out whether the knowledge of the Czech language influences the production of consonant clusters by Vietnamese speaking EFL learners living in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part focuses on the phenomenon of language transfer and compares English, Vietnamese and Czech syllable structure and consonant clusters. The practical part contains a perceptual analysis of recordings produced by two groups - EFL learners living in Vietnam and Vietnamese EFL learners living in the Czech Republic.
