Conference Proceedings Prague, Czech Republic May 21-23, 2015 PROCEEDINGS A Letter to the Participants Pronunciation of a foreign or second language is a controversial issue. Many claim that without proper pronunciation people’s chances of success in life are small. Others contradict by saying that as long as you are not changing meanings of words, any pronunciation is acceptable. Neither of these views really helps. The mechanisms and effects of pronunciation are far too complex to make strong and definite claims of any sort. It is actually quite damaging for our learning to say that, already, we are convinced about these fundamental issues. Why invest time and resources to research if we know that pronunciation is of little importance? Analogically, why study and experiment with pronunciation and its consequences, if we already know that it must be drilled and drilled and drilled? It is much more practical and effective to talk about the subject matter with an open mind and modesty. We have to admit that we do not know but, with the same voice, claim that we want to know. That is also the reason for most of the participants of EPIP conferences to prepare their presentations and gather in an assembly to confront them with the views of others. Yet again, the objective of this confrontation is to inspire and encourage others to discover rather than to convince them. Let me stress again: We don’t know and we want to know. The endeavours like EPIP are here to help us. The proceedings you are now using manifest the wealth of ideas, but also the complexity of the issues in the field of pronunciation. More than seventy authors from four continents prepared 52 presentations with the aim to contribute to our understanding of issues and practices in English pronunciation learning and teaching. The current conference is the 4th in the cycle with the EPIP label and hopes to extend the success of the previous conferences in such wonderful venues as Chambéry in France, Grahamstown in South Africa and Murcia in Spain. Prague is an old and beautiful city with a very clear linkage to education and learning. Charles University was founded in 1348 and many great spirits have worked in Prague since then, including the sharp minds of the Prague Linguistic Circle in the last century. We have the opportunity to honour the great past by making this conference a memorable event. Jan Volín Conference Chair Institute of Phonetics Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague nám.

  • Language Management in the Czech Republic1
    Language Management in the Czech Republic 1 J.V. Neustupný School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia Ji øí Nekvapil Department of Linguistics, Faculty of Arts, Charles University, nám. Jana Palacha 2, CZ-11638 Prague, Czech Republic This monograph, based on the Language Management model, provides information on both the simple (discourse-based) and organised modes of attention to language prob - lems in the Czech Republic. This includes but is not limited to the language policy of the State. This approach does not satisfy itself with discussing problems of language variet - ies but tries also to attend to issues pertaining to situations, functions, and other aspects of communication. While Part I deals with theoretical prerequisites of the study, Part II surveys ethnic communities which are resident in the territory of the Czech Republic, and Part III, the most extensive in the study, provides a description of the current state of the major varieties spoken in the country. It is suggested that a weak form of diglossia (Standard vs. Common Czech) is one of the major areas of problems within the Czech language. Among the other communities the Roma community presents most distinctly interactional as well as narrowly communicative problems. All non-Czech communities seem to be gradually assimilating to the matrix (Czech) community, particularly with regard to language. Part IV is devoted to the survey of language management in different situations. The authors particularly deal with changes that occurred after the Velvet Revolution of 1989 and resulted in intensive management in all domains of interaction. Part V presents individual observations on areas that have so far failed to attract system- atic attention.

  • Ketner Corrected Dissertation
    SIZE RESTRICTIONS IN PROSODIC MORPHOLOGY Katherine Heidel Ketner Selwyn College This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge April 2006 ABSTRACT This dissertation proposes a theory of conditions on prosodic constituents and how they relate to morphological categories. A significant effect of such conditions is that they can impose minimal and maximal size limits on roots and words. A good deal of research has established that there are minimality restrictions on words (McCarthy & Prince 1986, Hayes 1995); this dissertation shows how minimal restrictions on roots and maximal size restrictions on both roots and words can be characterized through Prosodic Morphology. Prosodically-based minimal and maximal size restrictions on a morphological category (MCat) are achieved indirectly through independently motivated concepts such as the Prosodic Hierarchy (Selkirk 1984) and Generalized Alignment (McCarthy and Prince 1993). A prosodically-based root size restriction follows from restrictions on prosodic categories. A language may require all prosodic words to be at least one binary foot through Headedness and Foot Binarity (McCarthy and Prince’s (1986) “Minimal Word”), or to be at most one binary foot (plus optional unfooted syllables) through a ban on non-head feet (de Lacy 2003). A size restriction is then transferred to a root morpheme through outputs in which the PCat and the MCat are linked, a process dubbed Concurrence here. One example is a bare root, which is coextensive with a prosodic word: any size restriction on the PrWd is directly translated to the root morpheme in this environment. Equally important to the indirect approach advocated in this dissertation is Output Faithfulness, which can spread size restrictions derived through Concurrence to all outputs in the language (Benua 1997).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This thesis presents a new approach to the behavior of coronal segments. It examines seven aspects of coronal uniqueness: (i) the interaction of coronal consonants with front vowels, (ii) the confinement of liquids to coronal Place, (iii) the preference of “weak” syllabic sites for coronal Place, the processes of (iv) palatalization and (v) coronalization of coronal and non-coronal consonants by palatal glides and front vowels, (vi) the confinement of consonant harmony processes to consonants of coronal Place, and finally, (vii) the frequency and subplace richness of the coronal Place. It is argued that this range of behavior can be given a unified analysis if coronality is represented by the Government Phonological element [I], Further, this element is argued to be the head of a Resonance Phrase in an element-geometric tree which is divided into a Resonance, Manner and Laryngeal Phrase.
