Original language description
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive lost of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra.

In the current study, we evaluated 16 Czech male PD speakers in the early stage of the disease compared to 16 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Each participant was required to read ten short sentences according to specific emotions. The speaking task of emotional prosody was chosen, as we assumed positive effect of speaking task on statistical differentiation between HC and PD groups due to increase of intensity and pitch variability. However, this hypothesis was not entirely fulfilled, as the statistically significant differences were found only under 2 conditions from total of 32 measurements. Therefore, the speaking task of emotional prosody may be consider as inappropriate for acoustic analysis in early PD. It might be concluded that the ability to express emotions is not
