Guidelines

- prostudovat relevantní literaturu a vypracovat přehled metodologie a dosavadních nálezů v oblasti akustických rozdílů mezi heterosexuálními a homosexuálními mluvčími
- pořídit a zpracovat nahrávky různých řečových stylů od 10 heterosexuálních a 10 homosexuálních mužů (manuální segmentace cílových hlásek)
- provést extrakci akustických parametrů, výpočet základních statistických údajů a porovnat rozlišitelnost obou skupin mluvčích v jednotlivých typech materiálu
- porovnat obecné i individuální tendence a vyvodit závěry
