    Pronunciation of Hungarian Proper Names in Czech

  • Original language description

    This paper is devoted to the analysis of the pronunciation of selected Hungarian proper names in Czech – anthroponyms and toponyms considered rather well-known in the Czech context (e.g. Lajos Kossuth, Imre Kertész, Harkány, Pécs) and which contain potentially problematic sounds (e.g. the digraphs ly, gy and ny). These names were incorporated into simple sentences (e.g. This year I want to visit the famous spa Harkány), which were read by 65 Czech respondents with no knowledge of Hungarian. For some names in particular there was – considering the number of respondents – a great number of registered pronunciation variants, e.g. in the case of the Hungarian anthroponym Rákóczi, there were 14 different pronunciations, e.g. [raːkoːʦɪ], [raːkoʧɪ], [raːkoʃ], [raːkosʦɪ], etc. The analysis of the recordings revealed that Czech speakers do not have a strong awareness of the pronunciation of potentially problematic sounds. Czech pronunciation guides recommend that the pronunciation of loanwords is based on the pronunciation in the original language, e.g. in the case of the digraph gy, the pronunciation [ɟ]. In other words, the guides recommend the phonological approximation principle. The Czech respondents, however, far more often utilized the spelling pronunciation principle. Furthermore, a correlation between the appropriate pronunciation (i.e. using the phonological approximation principle) and the respondent’s prior familiarity with the given name was revealed.
