Abstract
The aim of the study is to find sound phenomena that can influence the assessment of the degree of foreign accent among Polish speakers in Czech. The material consists of samples of five native Polish male speakers, from which a perception test was compiled.
The degree of foreign accent was assessed by two groups of native Czech speakers (from Bohemia and Ostrava region). Based on the results of the test and perceptual and acoustic analysis, phenomena were determined that could (with varying degrees of certainty) influence the foreign accent's assessment and which, on the contrary, were not reflected in the evaluation.
Both the phenomena of prosody and the pronunciation of segments or their combinatorics contribute to a foreign accent.
