Abstract

Abstract This paper discusses the Menzerath-Altmann law in general at first, then it is shown that the law is valid in spoken Czech. In particular, the relation between word length (measured in the number of syllables) and the mean syllable length (measured in the number of phonemes) is investigated. In addition, we model the relation between the relative occurrence of prothetic /v/ in words and word stems which, according to the official norms of the Czech language, begin with phoneme /o/, and word length in syllables in these words.

Menzerath-Altmann Law和prosthetics /v/ in口语捷克语

本文首先对Menzerath Altmann定律进行了一般性的讨论，然后证明了该定律在捷克语口语中是有效的。特别是，研究了单词长度（以音节数量衡量）和平均音节长度（以音素数量衡量）之间的关系。此外，我们还对单词和词干中假音/v/的相对出现与这些单词音节中的单词长度之间的关系进行了建模，根据捷克语的官方规范，这些词干以音位/o/开头。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Quantitative Linguistics is an international forum for the publication and discussion of research on the quantitative characteristics of language and text in an exact mathematical form. This approach, which is of growing interest, opens up important and exciting theoretical perspectives, as well as solutions for a wide range of practical problems such as machine learning or statistical parsing, by introducing into linguistics the methods and models of advanced scientific disciplines such as the natural sciences, economics, and psychology.
