The present article is a tentative description of prenuclear intonation in Czech within the framework of autosegmental theory, which has been applied to Czech prosody only marginally so far. After discussing the advantages and drawbacks of this kind of stylization, it puts forward a structured set of pitch accents, elementary building blocks of sentence intonation, intended for the annotation of intonation phrases. This set was derived from phonetic analysis of read speech using the criteria of interchangeability and perceptual similarity. The analysis includes information about the frequency of pitch accents in prenuclear positions and their discoursive functions. The theoretical principles explained in the introductory part should make the article accessible even for readers with limited knowledge of current prosodic paradigms.

The intent of this article is to present the particular example of use of 4 tenses in the indicative mood: 'passé composé, imparfait, futur simple, futur antérieur'. This analysis is based on various excerpts of texts dating back to XIXth and XXth centuries. The authoress analyses the influence of a number of factors on the interpretation of particular verbal forms appearing in studied sentences. Research takes into account: category of the verb, its aspect, person, adverbs of time, modality particles, verbs of opinion, certain adverbs (e.g. 'jamais, rarement' and those expressing opposition), type of sentence (negative, interrogative), register (written / spoken language), intonation.

The paper contains new information about the positive organ in the village of Sása (district of Revúca). The following facts were determined by analysis: the identity of the organ-builder Michal Kiszely; an approximate dating of the instrument’s construction to the 1820s; and the instrument’s precise disposition. An examination of the scaling of all registers showed a resultant scale proportion of 5:8, and also a secondary raising of the cut-up in all registers. From material research of the wooden registers it was found that resonance wood was not used; the resonant Norway spruce was used for a small part of pipes. Tis material will enable us to date the instrument’s construction with the help of dendrochronology. The metal registers from the organ’s metallic part are composed of an alloy in the proportion of 65% tin and 35% lead. Apart from degradation by woodworm, the original intonation has suffered also damage, as shown by analysis of the frequency spectrum of sound in all registers. The pitch needs to be retuned in the wooden as well as in the metal registers. Our summary organologic findings concerning this instrument can be used in further application outputs.
