In this study, we investigated the language of Hungarian speakers who clutter (PWCs) in four speaking styles (spontaneous speech, storytelling, deliberately slowed-down speech and giving a talk). The aim of the study was to show the effects of the different speaking styles on the linguistic and acoustic-phonetic patterns of the PWCs’ speech. Grammatical complexity was analyzed in the four speaking styles using a language-specific codification system. The duration and the number of silent pauses and hesitations were measured in order to define both the speech and articulation tempi. The disfluencies and the phonological variability of the words were also analyzed in the four speaking styles. The results supported the view that speaking styles affect the linguistic and phonetic characteristics of cluttering. We found differences in all parameters across speaking styles. These results confirmed our assumption that PWCs are able (1) to express their thoughts using the expected grammatical forms and (2) to articulate similarly to normal speakers. Our results provide more information for better and more precise understanding of cluttering.

Monosyllabic prepositions in Czech are known to attract the stress of the words following them (e.g., 'jedu 'do Prahy, I’m going to Prague, rather than 'jedu do 'Prahy). However, certain factors have been recognized which allow for the shift of stress from the preposition to the following word. This study examines these factors in two types of speech material, in read newscasts on Czech Radio and in spontaneous dialogues. The length (number of syllables) of the preceding word has a clear effect, with longer words attracting stress more than shorter ones. Stress also tends to be shifted less when the following word is a noun and more when it is an adjective modifying a noun. Perhaps most interestingly, a great majority of the instances when stress was shifted resulted in a more rhythmical configuration, in a more regular number of syllables in neighbouring stress groups.
