In this article, we examine the audio material collected by crowdsourcing methods in the Czech section of the portal forvo.com, which is unique worldwide in terms of the number of languages, audio recordings and users. Our aim is to assess the possible representativeness (with respect to the standard norm of Czech and/or naturalness) of the recordings for phonetic research and also for the purposes of non-native lay users. We selectively focus on perceptually conspicuous, mostly hypercorrect deviations from natural pronunciation (when the assimilation of voicing or place of articulation does not occur), but we also deal with phenomena that are non-orthoepic yet established in spontaneous speech (such as frequent phonetic reductions and devoicing). These deviations from natural speech behaviour can be attributed chiefly to the unnatural speech situation that lay speakers find themselves in when they are being recorded, and their adherence to the written form of the recorded entries. Based on the findings, we evaluate the Czech part of the forvo.com portal as being rather unusable for ordinary phonetic research, and as being usable, though only with caution, to a non-native lay user, with no claim to full representativeness.

The aim of our study is to review the meaning of the term “poeticism” and consider its vitality within contemporary poetry. It identifies specific features of contemporary Czech poetic language that distinguish it from the commonly spoken and written language. For this purpose, we utilise data collected in the Corpus of Contemporary Czech Poetry, using a keyword-extraction tool. We argue that poeticisms in contemporary poetry can be identified based on their frequency as keywords which significantly exceeds the frequency of the same words in common language. Our study concludes by drawing a distinction between two types of poeticisms: functional ones are defined by their frequency, while essential ones are used exclusively in poetic language.

The article describes the Czech section of the crowdsourced audio dictionary available on the website forvo.com (2008–2021), which is remarkable for several reasons: for its scope, reach, linguistic diversity, and the very unique variability of pronunciation recorded. We compare the website with some other open multilingual databases of audio recordings and touch on the dichotomous relationship between the intended concept of the website and its actual form. We also briefly characterize the list of Czech entries and summarize the advantages and weaknesses of the available data for scientific purposes. Finally, we consider the typical user of the website, either a provider of audio data (speaker), whose speech behaviour is obviously influenced by the specific speech situation during the recording, or a non-native lay recipient (listener), who is fully dependent on the confidence in the representativeness of the specific pronunciation variants. Finally, we define the notion of representativeness, which will later, in our further study, serve as an evaluation framework for the phonetic analysis of the recordings.
