The aim of the article is an acoustic description of German vowel elongation during live sports commentary. It is not about long vowels that are in time relation to the other segments in the lexeme, but about those that, regardless of the quantity, have an additional duration (over 0.2 seconds) in a particular communication situation. The research material consists of two sports commentaries. The first concerns Germany‘s victory in the quarter-finals of the 2017 IIHF World Hockey Championship; the second - the gold medal won by Gesa Krause during the women‘s 3000 metres steeplechase at the 2018 European Athletics Championships.

This paper examines the vowel system of present day Malacca Portuguese Creole (MPC) or Kristang, based on recordings from interviews with five female native speakers of MPC. A total of 1083 monophthongs were extracted from the recordings. The first and second formants of these vowels were measured and analysed. Considerable variation was found within and between the speakers in the way each of the vowels was produced. There were also noticeable overlaps between /i/ and /e/ suggesting that they were being used interchangeably. Based on the variation in the way that vowels are produced, and the overlaps between vowels, the findings suggest the possibility of phonological instability of this endangered language.

The article presents the research project “Suprasegmentals in Dysarthric Speech in Cases of Cerebral Palsy. Acoustic Analyses in Experimental Logopedic Studies on Polish-Speaking Children Aged 6 to 15 Years”. The objective of these planned studies is to describe and compare the acoustic parameters of suprasegmentals in the speech of dysarthric children with CP – in the experimental group (30 persons) and in the control group (30 children in whom no speech disorders and CP have been diagnosed). The analysis of the suprasegmental level of the phonetic sequence will include intonation, word and sentence stress, rhythm of utterances, rate of speech, length of phrases, and respiratory, phonatory and articulatory synchronization, nasal resonance, and voice quality. Statistical analyses of the results of acoustic experiments will also enable an evaluation of the relationships holding between selected suprasegmental phenomena in dysarthric speech. Moreover, we are planning to conduct studies with the participation of speech therapists as competent raters, whose task will be to conduct an auditory evaluation of particular phenomena manifesting themselves at the suprasegmental level of utterances of children with CP-related dysarthria, as well as an evaluation of the degree of intelligibility of their pronunciation. A comparison of the results of an acoustic analysis with the results of a perceptual analysis will make it possible to indicate the relationship between the individual suprasegmentals and between the realization of suprasegmentals and the intelligibility of CP-related dysarthric speech.

The paper concentrates on formation of L2 English vowel categories in the speech of Polish learners. More specifically, it compares distribution of two English categories - /I/ and /e/ relative to neighbouring Polish vowels. 43 participants recorded Polish and English vowels in a /bVt/ context. First two formants were measured at a vowel midpoint and plotted on a vowel plane. The results reveal that while a separate /I/ category is formed fairly effectively in Polish learners pronunciation of English, a category of /e/ is almost completely subsumed by a Polish vowel /ϵ/

This study investigates the production of vowels in unstressed syllables by advanced German learners of English in comparison with native speakers of Standard Southern British English. Two acoustic properties were measured: duration and formant structure. The results indicate that duration of unstressed vowels is similar in the two groups, though there is some variation depending on the phonetic context. In terms of formant structure, learners produce slightly higher F1 and considerably lower F2, the difference in F2 being statistically significant for each learner. Formant values varied as a function of context and orthographic representation of the vowel.

This paper used the plosives’ duration of preceding (DoPV) and following (DOFV) vowels to investigate the effect of bilingualism on the pronunciation difficulties for Arabic as an L1 and English as an L2. The subjects were divided into three groups; Arabic-English bilinguals who speak Arabic as an L1 (N: 15), Arabic monolinguals (N: 15), and English native monolinguals (N: 5). The participants had a reading test as they produced the target words in carrier sentences with five repetitions. The results showed that the plosives’ DoPV and DoFV for L1 and L2 had complicated interactions categorised into four types. 1- a unidirectional impact of L1 on L2, 2. a unidirectional impact of L2 on L1, 3. bidirectional effect, and 4. Free L1-L2 interference. The outcomes additionally revealed that the bilinguals faced production difficulties that included similar and dissimilar Arabic and English plosives. Besides, the bilinguals succeeded in producing DoPV in a native-like way for dis/similar plosives. Consequently, this paper assumed that the pronunciations’ difficulties are not necessarily associated with the dis/similarity in the context of L1-L2 interaction. This paper helps Arabic-English bilinguals in developing their pronunciation by highlighting the plosives’ pronunciation complexity.

This paper investigates the impact of bilingualism on the difficulties of pronunciation for both L1 (Arabic) and L2 (English). It assesses the production of stop sounds in Arabic and English through an acoustic analysis of stops' closure duration (henceforth CD), as pronounced by Arabic-English bilinguals whose L1 is Palestinian Arabic. Additionally, the paper aims to highlight the difficulties of pronunciation in both languages. Three groups of same aged adult subjects participated in the production tests; 1) Arabic-English bilinguals whose L1 is Palestinian Arabic, 2) Arabic-monolinguals, and 3) English-monolinguals. The stops in word-medial and final positions were included in closed syllables (CVC) in meaningful words inserted in carrier sentences. The results revealed that the CD of the interaction of stops was represented in four categories; 1) unidirectional effect of L1 on L2 that caused a foreign accent, 2) bidirectional influence resulting in L1-L2 interference, 3) unidirectional impact of L2 on L1, and 4) nativelikeness in both languages without language interference. In addition, the findings showed that bilinguals faced pronunciation challenges in both similar and dissimilar sounds. This paper is expected to initiate more comprehensive studies in the field of interaction between Arabic and English in the Arabic context.

W artykule zaprezentowano projekt badawczy pt. „Suprasegmentalia w mowie dyzartrycznej w przypadkach mózgowego porażenia dziecięcego. Analizy akustyczne w eksperymentalnych badaniach logopedycznych dzieci w wieku 6–15 lat mówiących po polsku”. Planowane badania pozwolą na poznanie i porównanie parametrów akustycznych zjawisk suprasegmentalnych w mowie dzieci z dyzartrią w mpd. (30-osobowa grupa eksperymentalna) oraz w grupie dzieci, u których nie stwierdzono zaburzeń mowy i mpd. (30-osobowa grupa kontrolna). Analiza akustyczna płaszczyzny suprasegmentalnej ciągu fonicznego ma dotyczyć intonacji, akcentu wyrazowego i zdaniowego, rytmu wypowiedzi, tempa mówienia, długości fraz, synchronizacji oddechowo-fonacyjno-artykulacyjnej, rezonansu nosowego oraz jakości głosu. Analizy statystyczne danych akustycznych umożliwią także ocenę zależności między wybranymi zjawiskami suprasegmentalnymi w mowie dyzartrycznej. Planuje się ponadto przeprowadzenie badań z udziałem logopedów pełniących rolę sędziów kompetentnych, których zadaniem będzie audytywna ocena poszczególnych zjawisk manifestujących się w płaszczyźnie suprasegmentalnej wypowiedzi dzieci z dyzartrią w mpd. oraz ocena stopnia zrozumiałości ich wymowy. Porównanie wyników analiz akustycznych z wynikami oceny percepcyjnej pozwoli na ustalenie predyktorów determinujących poziom zrozumiałości wypowiedzi dzieci z dyzartrią w mpd.
