This study examined the use of Audacity software to improve the pronunciation of regular verbs in the past tense. The participants were 30 advanced English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students of the English major of Universidad Tecnica Particular de Loja (UTPL), Ecuador. A mixed-method approach was used to gather qualitative and quantitative data from the participants by means of surveys, tests and audio recordings through Audacity. The intervention process took eight weeks. During this time, students were first instructed on the use of Audacity. Then they were taught the three pronunciation rules of regular verbs in the past tense and were asked to record a total of 10 audios per student in isolation and in context. Three-hundred audios were analyzed in total. After analyzing the data, the results indicate that Audacity is an effective tool that not only improves learners’ pronunciation, but also favors the practice of English language in a free and relaxed environment.

Przedmiotem badań w artykule jest specyfika dystrybucji rodzajowych form czasu przeszłego czasowników (na -li/-ły) w polskiej gwarze przesiedleńców we wsi Wierzyna na Syberii. W wyniku zatarcia kategorii męskoosobowości rodzajowe formy orzeczeń ulegają resemantyzacji, wskutek czego obserwuje się tendencję do zmiany warunków ich dystrybucji. Dystrybucja form orzeczeń na -li/-ły w dużej mierze zależy od składniowego typu zdania, o czym świadczą dane liczbowe dotyczące występowania tych form w analizowanych idiolektach.

The article describes the distribution of gender depending past tense verbal plural forms (ending in -li/-ły) in the Polish dialect of Wierszyna village in Syberia, Russia. With the elimination of the distinction between masculine personal and non-personal nouns in the plural, gender depending verbal forms tend to change their distribution. The distribution of predicates ending in -li/-ły seems to depend on the syntactic sentence type. That tendency is proved by the statistics of verbal forms usage in the analyzed idiolects.

The paper deals with changes in the Czech aspectual system during the last twenty-five years. The author analyses data acquired from the Czech National Corpus or, more precisely, from subcorpora containing only journalistic texts (the national daily newspapers Hospodářské noviny, Lidové noviny, Mladá fronta DNES and Právo). The corpus-based analysis showed that the frequency of the verb (and its finite forms) has been increasing in journalistic texts and that the statistic relation between imperfective and perfective verbs, as well as the relation between grammatical tenses in Czech, has become more asymmetrical (especially, the frequency of imperfective verbs has been rising). The increase in aspectual asymmetry accentuates the “western” features of the Czech aspectual system in the sense of S. M. Dickey’s (2000) conception. Together with the increasing aspectual asymmetry in Czech, the frequency of bi-aspectual verbs has slightly decreased. The analysis also showed that the frequency of verbs with prefixes (both perfective and imperfective) has decreased in Czech. The author interprets these facts as results of the transmission of certain dynamic (and system-based) features from spoken language to the written language, and he also discusses the typological context of the changes (inferring aspectual meanings from grammatical context as a manifestation of strengthening analyticity in Czech).
