In my diploma paper, I researched theatre speech. More specifically, I studied pauses and stresses in the play Družinski parlament (Family council) by Mestno gledališče ljubljansko (Ljubljana city theatre). I measured pauses and stresses in two ways: by listening and by using the computer program Praat. I then compared everything to the expected places of pauses and stresses, as stated in the grammar by Jože Toporišič. PhD. I also studied what affects the stress in speech.
