Abstract
An internet-accessible hanbook of Lithuanian accentology represents the first in Czech explained schema of Lithuanian accentology, complemented by audio recordings. The handbook describes meaning of Lithuanian graphemes (diagraph ortography using the sign "i"), Lithuanian vowel system (quantity and quality of vowels), for accentology imporant diphthongs and diphthongical combinations and in comparison with Czech a richer system of softness correlation.
Subsequently the handbook focuses on the stress and the syllable intonation (i.e. on a recognition of long syllable). As the first such handbook for Czech students it explaines the general principles of the stress position and the related intonation (changes of the syllable intonation at the end of the word, the penultimate syllable law, the law of dative plural case).
After the explanation of abovementioned general principles and examples the illustration of their functionality and a description of stress paradigms follows (first of all - an explanation of signs for particular stress paradigm in dictionary, then 4 stress paradigms for two-syllabic nouns, 4 stress paradigms for more-syllabic nouns, 2 stress paradigms for two-syllabic adjectives, 4 stress paradigms for more-syllabic adjectives, subsequently the stress in comparative of adjectives is explained, the unique-stressed pronouns are enumerated and the inton ation of numerals 1, 2... the billion is stated) and explaines the principles of stress position within the grammatical categories of verb (priciples for the present simple and past simple, for past frequentative tense, for future tense, for subjunctive mood, imperative mood and it also explains the changes of stress in verbs with prefixes) and in participles. The recordings shows declined paradigms and examples in a form of sentences.
