SOME PECULIARITIES IN THE PRONUNCIATION OF NATIVE SPEAKERS OF RUSSIAN IN LITHUANIA (UNSTRESSED VOWELS IN THE POSITION AFTER HARD CONSONANTS)

Summary/Abstract: The phonetic interference is a result of the interaction of phonetic systems and pronunciation norms of two languages in the consciousness of a speaker. The study of the influence of the system of the native language on the non-native (foreign) one and the reverse process is equally important. In the article acoustic parameters – duration, frequency values of the first and the second formants of stressed and unstressed back vowels in the pronunciation of native speakers of Russian in Lithuania are analyzed. The results of the spectral analysis allow us to reveal some deviations from Russian pronunciation norms in the speech of the Russian-Lithuanian bilinguals caused by the interference of phonetic systems of the two languages. The following features of the qualitative and quantitative reduction of unstressed vowels a, o, u in the pronunciation of native speakers of Russian in Lithuania have been found out: 1) dependence of a degree of reduction of vowels in their position in a word with respect to stress: the greatest shortening and the greatest qualitative changes of the vowels a, o, u are characterized in the second pre-accented syllable – the most remote from the stressed syllable; 2) the greater duration of the post-accented vowels in comparison with preaccented; 3) an insufficient reduction of the vowel in the place of the graphic o in all unstressed syllables; a strong qualitative reduction of the unstressed u.
