Summary:

The book 'Prosodic Phrase in Spoken Czech' by Jan Volín, Pavel Šturm, Radek Skarnitzl, and Tomáš Bořil is a comprehensive study on the sound structure of the Czech language, focusing on prosodic phrases. The authors provide an in-depth analysis of phonetic structures, acoustic properties, and syntactic aspects of prosodic phrases using speech materials such as storytelling, newsreading, and poetry reciting. The book discusses the perceptual importance of prosodic phrasing and presents original perception experiments. Additionally, it explores automatic detection of prosodic breaks through artificial neural networks. Intended for linguists and researchers, this work aims to fill a gap in Czech language studies and serves as a resource for further linguistic experiments. Generated by AI.
