Tempo and connectedness of Czech-accented English speech

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study explores whether speech connectedness increases with accelerated tempo in non?native pronunciation. In Czech?accented English, speech is disrupted by excessive glottalization of word?initial vowels. We hypothesized that, when speaking fast, advanced Czech learners of English as a foreign language may glottalize less because (1) they organize their speech into fewer and longer intonational phrases (IPs) and (2) reduce distinctiveness of word boundaries within IPs. Participants read a text at their normal and a selfdetermined faster tempo. Subsequently, they read it in synchrony with a nativespeaker recording at a normal and artificially speeded?up tempo. Glottalization decreased significantly with higher tempo (both at IP boundaries and within IPs) only during self?controlled acceleration. Responsible for the drop were fewer IPs and increased resyllabification. During synchronous reading, learners copied the prosodic phrasing in the recording. They linked more than in selfpac
