Speech reduction in Czech
Original language description
The present study contributes to this research by investigating speech reduction in Czech. Our study is based on the Nijmegen Corpus of Casual Czech, which was recorded in Prague in November 2008, and consists of 39 hours of casual conversations between26 groups of three friends. We studied speech reduction in this corpus by focusing on a number of frequent words and frequent phoneme sequences. First, we see patterns that have also been observed in other languages. Second, Czech also shows clear effects of morphology, which has not been attested for other languages so far. A third interesting topic concerns syllabic consonants and we find that the segment's probability to be absent is modulated by the complexity of the resulting consonant cluster. Ourstudy of Czech clearly shows that it is worthwhile to extend the study of reduction to typologically different languages.
