Summary/Abstract: The subject of this study are some sound changes in the media speech and their connection with the speech speed. In a previous pilot experiment that was based on the most frequently studied phonetic changes in the media speech, showed the frequency of occurrence of sound changes such as elision, articulation of the alveodental consonant [l] as [ŭ], epenthesis, depalatalization. The purpose of this article is to deepen the observations on the aforementioned phonetic phenomena by examining their attitude to the principle of economy in speech, and hence time factor. The observations made and the results obtained lead us to conclude that a faster speech rate does not lead to an increase in the incidence of sound changes.
