If speakers aim for a (non-)rhotic accent, to what degree is their spoken production (non)-rhotic? We surveyed the pronunciation of 24 Czech learners of English, differing in the level of proficiency and in the preferred pronunciation model (rhotic vs. non-rhotic). The results of an auditory analysis confirmed a persistent presence of /r/ in all positions for less proficient speakers, whereas advanced learners demonstrated a lower degree of consistency and an inclination to the preferred accent model. However, although group results may suggest inconsistent treatment of rhoticity, the production of /r/ was in fact very consistent at the individual level, often attributable to background information from the participants. Pedagogical implications are discussed.},

It is held under the auspices of the International Phonetic Association and provides an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of basic and applied research in the phonetic sciences. The main areas covered by the Congress are speech production, speech acoustics, speech perception, speech prosody, sound change, phonology, sociophonetics, language typology, first and second language acquisition, forensic phonetics, speaking styles, voice quality, clinical phonetics and speech technology. The last four Congresses were each attended by ca. 1000 participants from all over the world.
  The conference theme for ICPhS 2023 is "Intermingling Communities and Changing Cultures". The last decades have seen an unprecedented increase in mobility and interpersonal contacts which bridge national languages and which impact speech patterns everywhere. Europe is aspiring to become a united community of people who, although they speak many languages, seek mutual understanding. Surrounded by a multitude of languages, people learn the languages and discover various cultures associated with them, both implicitly and with conscious efforts. All these multiple contacts enrich individuals and open promising research potentials.},

It is seen as the basic constitutive unit in modelling human linguistic competence. However, supremacy in our conscious attempt to understand production and perception of speech needs not presuppose primacy in the domain of natural processes of speech behaviour. The syllable is often viewed as the phoneme's closest competitor at the level of unconscious neurolinguistic planning and decoding. Reaction time (RT) measurements, based on the assumption that longer RTs mean a more complex or higher-order processing, have been used successfully (and frequently) in various psycholinguistic experiments. In our study we used a word-monitoring paradigm to investigate whether the brain processes phonemes or syllables faster when recognizing words. For that purpose we broke the speech signal with short stretches of silence and, also, used the English language for Czech listeners to add extra cognitive load to the task, which should underscore potential differences in the outcome. The results showed that phone segmentation exerts greater demands on perceptual mechanisms than syllable segmentation. Syllable-sized units are apparently easier to process and only then broken into smaller elements. The secondary goal of our study was to compare two freely available computer programmes used for behavioural experiments in order to determine their applicability in linguistic research.},

Unlike in English, there is a considerable agreement between phonological (systemic) and phonetic (actual) voicing in Czech, and, more importantly, the two languages have different strategies for the assimilation of voicing across the word boundary. The present study investigates the voicing in word-final obstruents in Czech speakers of English with the specific aim of ascertaining whether the degree of the speakers' foreign accent correlates with the way they treat English obstruents in assimilatory contexts. L2 speakers, divided into three groups of varying accentedness, were examined employing categorization and a voicing profile method for establishing the presence/absence of voicing. The results suggest that speakers with a different degree of Czech accent do differ in their realization of voicing in the way predicted by a negative transfer of assimilatory habits from Czech.},

In a speech-metronome synchronization task, 24 subjects pronounced a set of 37 natural disyllabic Czech words of differing complexity at two metronome rates. The beginning of the first vowel (V1) and the moment of the fastest increase in energy within the first syllable were the most consistent synchronization points, but the p-centre occurred earlier than at the V1 initial boundary. Synchronization intervals were significantly influenced by the complexity of the syllabic onset: the p-centre was positioned earlier (further from the V1) as more consonants were included in the onset. However, the effects of vowel length and final coda were weaker. In addition, various aspects of human musicality were found to correlate with the ability of speakers to synchronize their articulations with an isochronous auditory sequence.},

The hypothesized advantage to items in which the target word (with a fortis or lenis obstruent) was semantically congruent with the following context was not confirmed, and subsequent analyses showed that the words' frequency of use and the collocations they enter into strongly affect speech processing and correlate to a large degree with the reaction times.},

Research into glottalization is discussed before presenting a reaction time experiment based on a word-monitoring paradigm. Natural and acoustically manipulated sentences selected from a spontaneous political debate were used as stimuli. The low level of control of the material makes the design relatively innovative in comparison with similar previous studies. Fifty listeners were instructed to press a button as soon as they heard a specified target word embedded in a sentence, where a preceding carrier word included glottalization or linking. The results support the hypothesis that the presence of glottalization facilitates the processing of subsequent words, but the temporal scope of the effect varied. The experiment also raises new methodological issues and offers suggestions for further research.},

However, an alternative hypothesis based on language-external facts (frequency in the learners' English input) predicts the opposite pattern. Our experiment involves 30 participants in a shadowing task. In addition to words with /t/, words with /k/ are examined to establish if speakers can generalize to a phonologically similar category to which they have not been exposed. Speakers adapted their pronunciation arter exposure to t-glot-taling to some degree. Our hypothesis was confirmed for the shadowing task, while the alternative language-external hypothesis was confirmed for the post-test task, suggesting a different pattern of performance in terms of imitation versus learning.},

However, the distribution and phonetic characteristics of pauses have not yet been fully described either cross-linguistically or in different genres and speech styles within languages. The current study examines the pausal performance of 24 Czech speakers in two genres of read speech: news reading and poetry reciting. The pause rate and pause duration are related to genre differences, overt and covert text organization, and speech tempo. We found a significant effect of several levels of text organization, including a strong effect of punctuation. This was reflected in both measures of pausal performance. A grammatically informed analysis of a subset of pauses within the smallest units revealed a significant contribution for pause rate only. An effect of tempo was found in poetry reciting at a macro level (speaker averages) but not when pauses were observed individually. Genre differences did not manifest consistently and analogically for the two measures. The findings provide evidence that pausing is used systematically by speakers in read speech to convey not only prosodic phrasing but also text structure, among other things.},

Specifically, we examined how repetition and structural position influence articulation rate (AR) and pause duration in spoken verse. Thirty-two native Czech speakers read three structurally comparable poems aloud, each differing in the presence and distribution of repeated lines. Poem 1 served as a baseline, containing no repetition; Poem 2 included a fully repeated final stanza; and Poem 3 featured repeated distichs within each stanza. Results showed that repeated lines (given information) were delivered at faster and more consistent rates than non-repeated lines (new information). Across poems with repetition, a gradual tempo decline followed by a tempo reset was observed, suggesting a strategic use of tempo modulation to signal textual recurrence. Additionally, pause duration reliably marked structural boundaries, with the longest pauses at stanza breaks. Discrepancies between syllabic and phonemic AR further highlighted the influence of phonotactic variability. Overall, the findings demonstrate that speakers intentionally manipulate prosodic timing to convey both informational and structural cues, enhancing listener comprehension of poetic form.},

For many linguists, this is a sufficient reason for resigning on intonation marking, so they claim that the speech melody in these questions is identical to the melody of statements. A careful observation of the current Czech speech suggests otherwise. This paper presents a perceptual experiment in which Czech speakers evaluated two contrastive forms of the interrogative melody, specifically the one with a late peak modelled after statements (as suggested by some authors), and the one with an early peak modelled after our empirical data collected previously. Thirty-two listeners expressed a statistically significant preference for the early peak in a perception test. This outcome resonates with the sample of speech production of the questions. However, the late peak is also possible and acceptable: we assume that it might be a signal of contrastive emphasis or an implicational cue.},

First, the Revue de phonétique encountered a crossroads following the demise of one of its founders, Abbé Rousselot. Hubert Pernot grappled to sustain the Revue until 1929 amidst uncertainties. Concurrently, Edward Wheeler Scripture initiated another journal in 1930, offering an alternative but short-lived platform for experimental phonetic inquiry. The two phoneticians and their projects were observed and criticized by Rousselot's former pupil, Abbé Millet, who harboured aspirations for a phonetics journal of his own. Based on archival materials, the paper analyses the available correspondence exchanged between these key actors and Josef Chlumský, a leading Czech phonetician of the era. The epistemological evidence reveals important and often overlooked details surrounding the trajectory of experimental phonetics journals and related initiatives, but also reflects on the challenges, ambitions, and scholarly exchanges that shaped the vibrant landscape of experimental phonetics in interwar Europe.},

Unlike the most important language varieties of the Songhay cluster, Dendi offers a relatively rich tonal system, the classical distinctive functions of tone displayed occasionally even in minimal contrastive pairs of lexemes. However, other features may co-occur in maintaining the minimal contrast in parallel to the contrast of tone, and there are also other types of relations, such as tonal polarity, primarily concerning the sets of monosyllabic morphemes which are supposed not to display their "inherent" tones, but tones which depend on their supposed tonal syntactic environment. Thus their tones are expected to be polar with the tone of the preceding syllable in the given context. Our data indicate that - most probably due to the phrase-final position of the investigated morpheme in simple clauses - clause-final intonation/pitch neutralizes in many cases the expected high tonal contrastive polarity.},

For both languages, the results based on a total of 120 vocally healthy speakers are in line with the claim that females are universally breathier than males. This was supported by the Cepstral Peak Prominence (CPP) and H1*-H2* measures, which are generally known as the most robust correlates of breathiness, and also by the H1*-A3* measure. However, the sex distinction was unsupported or even contradictory when using some other measures suggested to reflect breathiness, which provides an incentive to insist on employing a number of acoustic measures in future voice research. The perceptual component of the study nevertheless suggests that these contradictory findings are due to differences in perceived roughness rather than breathiness, and that CPP and H1*-H2* do reflect breathiness differences, and CPP in particular. We therefore conclude that it is indeed the case that female speakers are breathier than male speakers. Finally, in terms of the two robust measures (CPP and H1*-H2*), no language-specific differences in the magnitude of the effect of sex on breathiness were found.},

The manipulations served, alongside filler items, as the basis for a perception test in which 37 native Czech listeners assessed how much the speakers' pronunciation manifested marks of a long-term stay in France. The results confirmed our hypothesis that expanding the control speakers' f0 range would increase the perceived effect of French. However, reducing the f0 range in the expatriate group did not yield lower French-effect ratings, most likely due to the presence of other pronunciation features in their speech.},
