Linguopalatal contact in Czech palatal stops
Bartošová, Petra ; Skarnitzl, Radek (advisor) ; Machač, Pavel (referee)
The topic of this bachelor thesis is an articulation analysis of Czech palatal stops [ť] and [ď] using electropalatography. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the average and maximum rate of linguopalatal contact in the palatal area as well as to examine the dynamic process of this contact. It also features a short analysis of occlusion duration of Czech palatal stops. The theoretical part of the thesis contains a description of stop consonants, palatals, and the research method - electropalatography. Since thorough analysis of such speech sounds in Czech has not been extensive, the thesis should contribute to a more detailed look on articulation effects during the production of Czech palatal stops. It should also explore the impact of several factors on the production of those speech sounds - in particular voicing, differences between speakers, vocalic environment and nature of the material. In addition, it might be valuable among EPG studies as a considerable number of different speakers (6) is analysed.
