ИСТИНА

The comparative experimental acoustic study of the subjective and objective characteristics of the rhythmic organization of speech was carried out on the material from three Slavic languages, i.e. Czech, Bulgarian and Russian. The present study has supported the validity of the hypothesis on the existence of a hierarchy of factors that de¬termine the rhythmic patterns in the Slavic languages. The results of the acoustic analysis have revealed the phonetic specificity of RS and RPS, which is determined by the phonetic structure of stress in RS, realized in the studied languages by different means: definite combinations of prosodic features of vowels at the RS boundaries in Czech speech, a dynamic component in Bulgarian and a spectral as well as a temporal component in Russian.
