LETTER/
[SOUND]
SOUND CHARACTERISTICS
m - [m] - acc., hard (boys) , ringing (unpaired), sonorant. The sound [m] is an unpaired voiced sound, so it is pronounced the same way as it is written.Before letters A, O, at, uh, s
O - [ʌ] - vowel, unstressed; see below § 32.
d - [d] - acc., hard (boys) , ringing (boys). Before a vowel sound there is no replacement of a consonant in terms of voicedness/voicelessness.Before letters A, O, at, uh, s syllables paired in terms of hardness and softness are always pronounced firmly.
e - [uh] - vowel, percussion; see Avanesov R.I. (1)
l - [l❜] - acc., soft (par.), ringing (unpaired), sonorant. At the end of a word, sound replacement occurs only for paired voiced consonants.Below see § 66, para. 1, 3 (examples).
b - [ ] - no sound

PRONUNCIATION RULES 1

§ 32

§ 32. In the 1st pre-stressed syllable, after hard consonants, except for vowels [s] and [y], and at the beginning of a word, except for vowels [i] and [y] (about them, see §§ 5-13), it is pronounced vowel [a]. The vowel [a] in this position is denoted in writing by the letter i or o.

Thus, in place of the letters a and o, the vowel [a] is pronounced: 1) after hard consonants: a) gardens, gifts, mala, plow, old man, grass; naughty, shalash, fry, hot, reign, scratch; b) water (pronounced [wada]), leg (pronounced [naga]), thunderstorm (pronounced [graza]), fields (pronounced [pal❜ á ]), seas (pronounced [mar❜ á ]), tables (pronounced [ became ]), fruits (pronounced [pladý ]), please (pronounced [prashú ]), went (pronounced [pashó l]), driver (pronounced [shaf❜ ó r), juggler (pronounced [jangle❜ ó r]); 2) at the beginning of the word: a) pharmacy, Armenian, arshin, accord, barn; b) window (pronounced [aknó]), one (pronounced [adin]), cucumber (pronounced [agú rchik]), aspen (pronounced [ası́ ny]), dress (pronounced [adé t❜ ]) .

The vowel [a] of the 1st pre-stressed syllable is somewhat different from the stressed [a]: when pronounced, the lower jaw is less pubescent, the opening of the mouth is narrower, the back of the back of the tongue is slightly raised. Therefore, with a more accurate transcription, these sounds should be distinguished, for example, to denote the unstressed [o], use the sign Λ, preserving the letter a for the stressed [a]: [voda] (water). In this dictionary-reference book, the letter a is used to denote both unstressed [a] (more precisely [Λ], and [a] stressed.

§ 66

§ 66. The following consonants are both hard and soft: [l] and [b], [f] and [v], [t] and [d], [s] and [z], [m], [ p], [l], [n]. For each of these consonants in Russian graphics there is a corresponding letter. The softness of these consonants at the end of a word is indicated by the letter b. Wed. top and top (pronounced [top❜ ]), econom and economy (pronounced [ekanó m❜ ]), blow and blow (pronounced [ud❜ ]), was and reality (pronounced [was❜ ]). The softness of these consonants before the consonants is also indicated: corner and coal (pronounced [ugal❜ ka]), banku and banku (pronounced [bá n❜ ku]), rarely and radish (pronounced [ré t❜ kъ]) .

The softness of these consonants before vowels is indicated by the letters of the following vowels: letter I(Unlike A) denotes the vowel [a] after a soft consonant; Wed small and crumpled (pronounced [m❜ al]); letter e(Unlike O) denotes the vowel [o] after a soft consonant; Wed mole and chalk (pronounced [m❜ ol]); letter Yu(Unlike at) denotes the vowel [y] after a soft consonant; Wed tuk and bale (pronounced [t❜ uk]). The distribution of letters is approximately the same And And s: the letter and is used after soft consonants and at the beginning of a word, and the letter s after hard consonants that have a soft pair; Wed play, hut, clean, sew, drank and ardor, sweet and washed, pitched and howled, thread and whine, wear and noses.

Examples for distinguishing between hard and soft consonants: top and top (pronounced [top❜ ]), bódro and hips (pronounced [b❜ ó dr]), graph and graph (pronounced [graph❜ а́ ]), val and vyal (pronounced [v❜ al]), raft and flesh (pronounced [raft❜ ]), shame and shame (pronounced [shame❜ á ]), os and axis (pronounced [os❜ ]); thunderstorm and thunderstorm (pronounced [graz❜ á ]), ox and led (pronounced [v❜ ol]), coffin and row (pronounced [gr❜ op]), steel and steel (pronounced [stall❜ ]), nose and carried (pronounced [n❜ os]), onion and hatch (pronounced [l❜ uk]), goŕ and bitterly (pronounced [gor ́ r❜ kъ]).

Before we move on to phonetic analysis with examples, we draw your attention to the fact that letters and sounds in words are not always the same thing.

Letters- these are letters, graphic symbols, with the help of which the content of a text is conveyed or a conversation is outlined. Letters are used to visually convey meaning; we perceive them with our eyes. The letters can be read. When you read letters out loud, you form sounds - syllables - words.

A list of all letters is just an alphabet

Almost every schoolchild knows how many letters are in the Russian alphabet. That's right, there are 33 of them in total. The Russian alphabet is called the Cyrillic alphabet. The letters of the alphabet are arranged in a certain sequence:

Russian alphabet:

In total, the Russian alphabet uses:

  • 21 letters for consonants;
  • 10 letters - vowels;
  • and two: ь (soft sign) and ъ (hard sign), which indicate properties, but do not themselves define any sound units.

You often pronounce sounds in phrases differently from how you write them in writing. In addition, a word may use more letters than sounds. For example, “children’s” - the letters “T” and “S” merge into one phoneme [ts]. And vice versa, the number of sounds in the word “blacken” is greater, since the letter “Yu” in this case is pronounced as [yu].

What is phonetic analysis?

We perceive spoken speech by ear. By phonetic analysis of a word we mean the characteristics of the sound composition. In the school curriculum, such analysis is more often called “sound-letter” analysis. So, with phonetic analysis, you simply describe the properties of sounds, their characteristics depending on the environment and the syllabic structure of a phrase united by a common word stress.

Phonetic transcription

For sound-letter parsing, a special transcription in square brackets is used. For example, it is correctly written:

  • black -> [h"orny"]
  • apple -> [yablaka]
  • anchor -> [yakar"]
  • Christmas tree -> [yolka]
  • sun -> [sontse]

The phonetic parsing scheme uses special symbols. Thanks to this, it is possible to correctly designate and distinguish the letter notation (spelling) and the sound definition of letters (phonemes).

  • The phonetically parsed word is enclosed in square brackets – ;
  • a soft consonant is indicated by a transcription sign [’] - an apostrophe;
  • percussive [´] - accent;
  • in complex word forms from several roots, the secondary stress sign [`] - gravis is used (not practiced in the school curriculum);
  • the letters of the alphabet Yu, Ya, E, Ё, ь and Ъ are NEVER used in transcription (in the curriculum);
  • for doubled consonants, [:] is used - a sign of the longitude of the sound.

Below are detailed rules for orthoepic, alphabetic, phonetic and word analysis with online examples, in accordance with general school standards of the modern Russian language. Professional linguists' transcriptions of phonetic characteristics differ in accents and other symbols with additional acoustic features of vowel and consonant phonemes.

How to make a phonetic analysis of a word?

The following diagram will help you carry out letter analysis:

  • Write down the necessary word and say it out loud several times.
  • Count how many vowels and consonants there are in it.
  • Indicate the stressed syllable. (Stress, using intensity (energy), distinguishes a certain phoneme in speech from a number of homogeneous sound units.)
  • Divide the phonetic word into syllables and indicate their total number. Remember that syllable division in is different from the rules of transfer. The total number of syllables always matches the number of vowels.
  • In the transcription, sort the word by sounds.
  • Write the letters from the phrase in a column.
  • Opposite each letter in square brackets, indicate its sound definition (how it is heard). Remember that sounds in words are not always identical to letters. The letters "ь" and "ъ" do not represent any sounds. The letters “e”, “e”, “yu”, “ya”, “i” can represent 2 sounds at once.
  • Analyze each phoneme separately and indicate its properties separated by commas:
    • for a vowel we indicate in the characteristic: vowel sound; stressed or unstressed;
    • in the characteristics of consonants we indicate: consonant sound; hard or soft, voiced or deaf, sonorant, paired/unpaired in hardness-softness and sonority-dullness.
  • At the end of the phonetic analysis of the word, draw a line and count the total number of letters and sounds.

This scheme is practiced in the school curriculum.

An example of phonetic analysis of a word

Here is a sample phonetic analysis of the composition for the word “phenomenon” → [yivl’e′n’ie]. In this example there are 4 vowels and 3 consonants. There are only 4 syllables: I-vle′-n-e. The emphasis falls on the second.

Sound characteristics of letters:

i [th] - acc., unpaired soft, unpaired voiced, sonorant [i] - vowel, unstressedv [v] - acc., paired hard, paired sound l [l'] - acc., paired soft., unpaired . sound, sonorant [e′] - vowel, stressed [n’] - consonant, paired soft, unpaired sound, sonorant and [i] - vowel, unstressed [th] - consonant, unpaired. soft, unpaired sound, sonorant [e] - vowel, unstressed________________________In total, the word phenomenon has 7 letters, 9 sounds. The first letter “I” and the last “E” each represent two sounds.

Now you know how to do sound-letter analysis yourself. The following is a classification of sound units of the Russian language, their relationships and transcription rules for sound-letter parsing.

Phonetics and sounds in Russian

What sounds are there?

All sound units are divided into vowels and consonants. Vowel sounds, in turn, can be stressed or unstressed. The consonant sound in Russian words can be: hard - soft, voiced - deaf, hissing, sonorous.

How many sounds are there in Russian living speech?

The correct answer is 42.

Doing phonetic analysis online, you will find that 36 consonant sounds and 6 vowels are involved in word formation. Many people have a reasonable question: why is there such a strange inconsistency? Why does the total number of sounds and letters differ for both vowels and consonants?

All this is easily explained. A number of letters, when participating in word formation, can denote 2 sounds at once. For example, softness-hardness pairs:

  • [b] - cheerful and [b’] - squirrel;
  • or [d]-[d’]: home - to do.

And some do not have a pair, for example [h’] will always be soft. If you doubt it, try to say it firmly and make sure it is impossible: stream, pack, spoon, black, Chegevara, boy, little rabbit, bird cherry, bees. Thanks to this practical solution, our alphabet has not reached dimensionless proportions, and the sound units are optimally complemented, merging with each other.

Vowel sounds in Russian words

Vowel sounds Unlike consonants, they are melodic; they flow freely, as if in a chant, from the larynx, without barriers or tension of the ligaments. The louder you try to pronounce the vowel, the wider you will have to open your mouth. And vice versa, the louder you try to pronounce a consonant, the more energetically you will close your mouth. This is the most striking articulatory difference between these phoneme classes.

The stress in any word form can only fall on the vowel sound, but there are also unstressed vowels.

How many vowel sounds are there in Russian phonetics?

Russian speech uses fewer vowel phonemes than letters. There are only six shock sounds: [a], [i], [o], [e], [u], [s]. And let us remind you that there are ten letters: a, e, e, i, o, u, y, e, i, yu. The vowels E, E, Yu, I are not “pure” sounds in transcription are not used. Often, when parsing words by letter, the emphasis falls on the listed letters.

Phonetics: characteristics of stressed vowels

The main phonemic feature of Russian speech is the clear pronunciation of vowel phonemes in stressed syllables. Stressed syllables in Russian phonetics are distinguished by the force of exhalation, increased duration of sound and are pronounced undistorted. Since they are pronounced clearly and expressively, sound analysis of syllables with stressed vowel phonemes is much easier to carry out. The position in which the sound does not undergo changes and retains its basic form is called strong position. This position can only be occupied by a stressed sound and a syllable. Unstressed phonemes and syllables remain in a weak position.

  • The vowel in a stressed syllable is always in a strong position, that is, it is pronounced more clearly, with the greatest strength and duration.
  • A vowel in an unstressed position is in a weak position, that is, it is pronounced with less force and not so clearly.

In the Russian language, only one phoneme “U” retains unchangeable phonetic properties: kuruza, tablet, u chus, u lov - in all positions it is pronounced clearly as [u]. This means that the vowel “U” is not subject to qualitative reduction. Attention: in writing, the phoneme [y] can also be indicated by another letter “U”: muesli [m’u ´sl’i], key [kl’u ´ch’], etc.

Analysis of the sounds of stressed vowels

The vowel phoneme [o] occurs only in a strong position (under stress). In such cases, “O” is not subject to reduction: cat [ko´ t'ik], bell [kalako´ l'ch'yk], milk [malako´], eight [vo´ s'im'], search [paisko´ vaya], dialect [go´ var], autumn [o´ s'in'].

An exception to the rule of a strong position for “O”, when the unstressed [o] is also pronounced clearly, are only some foreign words: cocoa [kaka "o], patio [pa"tio], radio [ra"dio], boa [bo a "] and a number of service units, for example, the conjunction but. The sound [o] in writing can be reflected by another letter “ё” - [o]: thorn [t’o´ rn], fire [kas’t’o´ r]. It will also not be difficult to analyze the sounds of the remaining four vowels in the stressed position.

Unstressed vowels and sounds in Russian words

It is possible to make a correct sound analysis and accurately determine the characteristics of a vowel only after placing stress in the word. Do not forget also about the existence of homonymy in our language: zamok - zamok and about the change in phonetic qualities depending on the context (case, number):

  • I'm home [ya do "ma].
  • New houses [no "vye da ma"].

IN unstressed position the vowel is modified, that is, pronounced differently than written:

  • mountains - mountain = [go "ry] - [ga ra"];
  • he - online = [o "n] - [a nla"yn]
  • witness line = [sv’id’e “t’i l’n’itsa].

Such changes in vowels in unstressed syllables are called reduction. Quantitative, when the duration of the sound changes. And high-quality reduction, when the characteristics of the original sound change.

The same unstressed vowel letter can change its phonetic characteristics depending on its position:

  • primarily relative to the stressed syllable;
  • at the absolute beginning or end of a word;
  • in open syllables (consisting of only one vowel);
  • on the influence of neighboring signs (ь, ъ) and consonant.

Yes, it varies 1st degree of reduction. It is subject to:

  • vowels in the first pre-stressed syllable;
  • naked syllable at the very beginning;
  • repeated vowels.

Note: To make a sound-letter analysis, the first pre-stressed syllable is determined not from the “head” of the phonetic word, but in relation to the stressed syllable: the first to the left of it. In principle, it can be the only pre-shock: not-here [n’iz’d’e’shn’ii].

(uncovered syllable)+(2-3 pre-stressed syllable)+ 1st pre-stressed syllable ← Stressed syllable → over-stressed syllable (+2/3 over-stressed syllable)

  • vper-re -di [fp’ir’i d’i´];
  • e -ste-ste-st-no [yi s’t’e´s’t’v’in:a];

Any other pre-stressed syllables and all post-stressed syllables during sound analysis are classified as reduction of the 2nd degree. It is also called a “weak position of the second degree.”

  • kiss [pa-tsy-la-va´t’];
  • model [ma-dy-l’i´-ra-vat’];
  • swallow [la´-sta -ch’ka];
  • kerosene [k'i-ra-s'i´-na-vy].

The reduction of vowels in a weak position also differs in stages: second, third (after hard and soft consonants - this is outside the curriculum): learn [uch'i´ts:a], become numb [atsyp'in'e´t '], hope [nad'e´zhda]. During letter analysis, the reduction of the vowel in the weak position in the final open syllable (= at the absolute end of the word) will appear very slightly:

  • cup;
  • goddess;
  • with songs;
  • turn.

Sound-letter analysis: iotized sounds

Phonetically, the letters E - [ye], Yo - [yo], Yu - [yu], Ya - [ya] often mean two sounds at once. Have you noticed that in all the indicated cases the additional phoneme is “Y”? That is why these vowels are called iotized. The meaning of the letters E, E, Yu, I is determined by their positional position.

When analyzed phonetically, the vowels e, e, yu, i form 2 sounds:

Yo - [yo], Yu - [yu], E - [ye], I - [ya] in cases where there are:

  • At the beginning of the words “Yo” and “Yu” are always:
    • - shudder [yo´ zhyts:a], Christmas tree [yo´ lach’nyy], hedgehog [yo´ zhyk], container [yo´ mcast’];
    • - jeweler [yuv ’il’i´r], top [yu la´], skirt [yu´ pka], Jupiter [yu p’i´t’ir], nimbleness [yu ´rkas’t’];
  • at the beginning of the words “E” and “I” only under stress*:
    • - spruce [ye´ l’], travel [ye´ w:u], huntsman [ye´ g’ir’], eunuch [ye´ vnukh];
    • - yacht [ya´ hta], anchor [ya´ kar’], yaki [ya´ ki], apple [ya´ blaka];
    • (*to perform sound-letter analysis of the unstressed vowels “E” and “I”, a different phonetic transcription is used, see below);
  • in the position immediately after the vowel “Yo” and “Yu” always. But “E” and “I” are in stressed and unstressed syllables, except in cases where these letters are located after a vowel in the 1st pre-stressed syllable or in the 1st, 2nd unstressed syllable in the middle of words. Phonetic analysis online and examples in specified cases:
    • - receiver [pr’iyo´mn’ik], sings t [payo´t], klyyo t [kl’uyo ´t];
    • -ayu rveda [ayu r’v’e´da], I sing t [payu ´t], melt [ta´yu t], cabin [kayu ´ta],
  • after the dividing solid “Ъ” the sign “Ё” and “Yu” - always, and “E” and “I” only under stress or at the absolute end of the word: - volume [ab yo´m], shooting [syo´mka], adjutant [adyu "ta´nt]
  • after the dividing soft “b” the sign “Ё” and “Yu” is always, and “E” and “I” are under stress or at the absolute end of the word: - interview [intyrv'yu´], trees [d'ir'e´ v'ya], friends [druz'ya´], brothers [bra´t'ya], monkey [ab'iz'ya´ na], blizzard [v'yu´ ga], family [s'em'ya´ ]

As you can see, in the phonemic system of the Russian language, stress is of decisive importance. Vowels in unstressed syllables undergo the greatest reduction. Let's continue the sound-letter analysis of the remaining iotized ones and see how they can still change characteristics depending on the environment in the words.

Unstressed vowels“E” and “I” designate two sounds and in phonetic transcription and are written as [YI]:

  • at the very beginning of the word:
    • - unity [yi d'in'e´n'i'ye], spruce [yil´vyy], blackberry [yizhiv'i´ka], him [yivo´], fidget [yigaza´], Yenisei [yin'is 'e´y], Egypt [yig'i´p'it];
    • - January [yi nvarskiy], core [yidro´], sting [yiz'v'i´t'], label [yirly´k], Japan [yipo´n'iya], lamb [yign'o´nak ];
    • (The only exceptions are rare foreign word forms and names: Caucasoid [ye vrap'io´idnaya], Evgeniy [ye] vgeny, European [ye vrap'e´yits], diocese [ye] pa´rkhiya, etc.).
  • immediately after a vowel in the 1st pre-stressed syllable or in the 1st, 2nd post-stressed syllable, except for the location at the absolute end of the word.
    • in a timely manner [svai vr'e´m'ina], trains [payi zda´], let's eat [payi d'i´m], run into [nayi w:a´t'], Belgian [b'il'g'i´ yi c], students [uch'a´sh'iyi s'a], with sentences [pr'idlazhe´n'iyi m'i], vanity [suyi ta´],
    • bark [la´yi t'], pendulum [ma´yi tn'ik], hare [za´yi c], belt [po´yi s], declare [zayi v'i´t'], show [prayi in 'l'u´]
  • after the dividing hard “Ъ” or soft “b” sign: - intoxicating [p'yi n'i´t], express [izyi v'i´t'], announcement [abyi vl'e´n'iye], edible [syi dobny].

Note: The St. Petersburg phonological school is characterized by “ecane”, and the Moscow school is characterized by “hiccup”. Previously, the iotrated “Yo” was pronounced with a more accented “Ye”. When changing capitals, performing sound-letter analysis, they adhere to Moscow norms in orthoepy.

Some people in fluent speech pronounce the vowel “I” the same way in syllables with a strong and weak position. This pronunciation is considered a dialect and is not literary. Remember, the vowel “I” under stress and without stress is voiced differently: fair [ya ´marka], but egg [yi ytso´].

Important:

The letter “I” after the soft sign “b” also represents 2 sounds - [YI] in sound-letter analysis. (This rule is relevant for syllables in both strong and weak positions). Let's conduct a sample of online sound-letter analysis: - nightingales [salav'yi´], on chicken legs [na ku´r'yi' x" no´shkah], rabbit [kro´l'ich'yi], no family [s'im 'yi´], judges [su´d'yi], draws [n'ich'yi´], streams [ruch'yi´], foxes [li´s'yi]. But: Vowel “O” after a soft sign “b” is transcribed as an apostrophe of softness ['] of the preceding consonant and [O], although when pronouncing the phoneme, iotization can be heard: broth [bul'o´n], pavilion n [pav'il'o´n], similarly: postman n , champignon n, chignon n, companion n, medallion n, battalion n, guillot tina, carmagno la, mignon n and others.

Phonetic analysis of words, when the vowels “Yu” “E” “E” “I” form 1 sound

According to the rules of phonetics of the Russian language, at a certain position in words, the designated letters give one sound when:

  • sound units “Yo” “Yu” “E” are under stress after an unpaired consonant in hardness: zh, sh, ts. Then they represent phonemes:
    • ё - [o],
    • e - [e],
    • yu - [y].
    Examples of online analysis by sounds: yellow [zho´ lty], silk [sho´ lk], whole [tse´ ly], recipe [r'itse´ pt], pearls [zhe´ mch'uk], six [she´ st '], hornet [she'rshen'], parachute [parashu't];
  • The letters “I” “Yu” “E” “E” and “I” indicate the softness of the preceding consonant [’]. Exception only for: [f], [w], [c]. In such cases in a striking position they form one vowel sound:
    • ё – [o]: ticket [put'o´ fka], easy [l'o´ hk'iy], honey fungus [ap'o´ nak], actor [akt'o´ r], child [r'ib' o´nak];
    • e – [e]: seal [t’ul’e´ n’], mirror [z’e’ rkala], smarter [umn’e´ ye], conveyor [kanv’e´ yir];
    • I – [a]: kittens [kat'a´ ta], softly [m'a´ hka], oath [kl'a´ tva], took [vz'a´ l], mattress [t'u f'a ´ k], swan [l'ib'a´ zhy];
    • yu – [y]: beak [kl'u´ f], people [l'u´ d'am], gateway [shl'u´ s], tulle [t'u´ l'], suit [kas't 'mind].
    • Note: in words borrowed from other languages, the stressed vowel “E” does not always signal the softness of the previous consonant. This positional softening ceased to be a mandatory norm in Russian phonetics only in the 20th century. In such cases, when you do a phonetic analysis of the composition, such a vowel sound is transcribed as [e] without a preceding apostrophe of softness: hotel [ate´ l'], strap [br'ite´ l'ka], test [te´ st] , tennis [te´ n:is], cafe [cafe´], puree [p'ure´], amber [ambre´], delta [de´ l'ta], tender [te´ nder], masterpiece [shede´ vr], tablet [table´ t].
  • Attention! After soft consonants in prestressed syllables the vowels “E” and “I” undergo qualitative reduction and are transformed into the sound [i] (except for [ts], [zh], [sh]). Examples of phonetic analysis of words with similar phonemes: - grain [z'i rno´], earth [z'i ml'a´], cheerful [v'i s'o´ly], ringing [z'v 'i n'i´t], forest [l'i sno´y], blizzard [m'i t'e´l'itsa], feather [p'i ro´], brought [pr' in'i sla´], knit [v'i za´t'], lie [l'i ga´t'], five grater [p'i t'o´rka]

Phonetic analysis: consonants of the Russian language

There is an absolute majority of consonants in the Russian language. When pronouncing a consonant sound, the air flow encounters obstacles. They are formed by organs of articulation: teeth, tongue, palate, vibrations of the vocal cords, lips. Due to this, noise, hissing, whistling or ringing appears in the voice.

How many consonants are there in Russian speech?

In the alphabet they are designated by 21 letters. However, when performing sound-letter analysis, you will find that in Russian phonetics consonant sounds more, namely 36.

Sound-letter analysis: what are the consonant sounds?

In our language there are consonants:

  • hard - soft and form the corresponding pairs:
    • [b] - [b’]: b anan - b tree,
    • [in] - [in’]: in height - in yun,
    • [g] - [g’]: city - duke,
    • [d] - [d’]: dacha - dolphin,
    • [z] - [z’]: z von - z ether,
    • [k] - [k’]: k onfeta - to enguru,
    • [l] - [l’]: boat - l lux,
    • [m] - [m’]: magic - dreams,
    • [n] - [n’]: new - nectar,
    • [p] - [p’]: p alma- p yosik,
    • [r] - [r’]: daisy - row of poison,
    • [s] - [s’]: with uvenir - with urpriz,
    • [t] - [t’]: tuchka - t ulpan,
    • [f] - [f’]: f lag - f February,
    • [x] - [x’]: x orek - x seeker.
  • Certain consonants do not have a hard-soft pair. Unpaired ones include:
    • sounds [zh], [ts], [sh] - always hard (zhzn, tsikl, mouse);
    • [ch’], [sch’] and [th’] are always soft (daughter, more often than not, yours).
  • The sounds [zh], [ch’], [sh], [sh’] in our language are called hissing.

A consonant can be voiced - voiceless, as well as sonorous and noisy.

You can determine the voicedness-voicelessness or sonority of a consonant by the degree of noise-voice. These characteristics will vary depending on the method of formation and the participation of the organs of articulation.

  • Sonorant (l, m, n, r, y) are the most sonorous phonemes, in them a maximum of voices and a few noises are heard: l ev, rai, n o l.
  • If, when pronouncing a word during sound parsing, both a voice and noise are formed, it means that you have a voiced consonant (g, b, z, etc.): plant, b people, life.
  • When pronouncing voiceless consonants (p, s, t and others), the vocal cords do not tense, only noise is made: st opka, fishka, k ost yum, tsirk, sew up.

Note: In phonetics, consonant sound units also have a division according to the nature of formation: stop (b, p, d, t) - gap (zh, w, z, s) and method of articulation: labiolabial (b, p, m) , labiodental (f, v), anterior lingual (t, d, z, s, c, g, w, sch, h, n, l, r), midlingual (th), posterior lingual (k, g, x) . The names are given based on the organs of articulation that are involved in sound production.

Tip: If you're just starting to practice spelling words phonetically, try placing your hands on your ears and saying the phoneme. If you were able to hear a voice, then the sound being studied is a voiced consonant, but if noise is heard, then it is voiceless.

Hint: For associative communication, remember the phrases: “Oh, we didn’t forget our friend.” - this sentence contains absolutely the entire set of voiced consonants (excluding softness-hardness pairs). “Styopka, do you want to eat some soup? - Fi! - similarly, the indicated replicas contain a set of all voiceless consonants.

Positional changes of consonants in Russian

The consonant sound, just like the vowel, undergoes changes. The same letter phonetically can represent a different sound, depending on the position it occupies. In the flow of speech, the sound of one consonant is compared to the articulation of a consonant located next to it. This effect makes pronunciation easier and is called assimilation in phonetics.

Positional stun/voicing

In a certain position for consonants, the phonetic law of assimilation according to deafness and voicedness applies. The voiced paired consonant is replaced by a voiceless one:

  • at the absolute end of a phonetic word: but [no´sh], snow [s’n’e´k], garden [agaro´t], club [klu´p];
  • before voiceless consonants: forget-me-not a [n’izabu´t ka], obkh vatit [apkh vat’i´t’], Tuesday [ft o´rn’ik], tube a [corpse a].
  • doing a sound-letter analysis online, you will notice that the voiceless paired consonant standing before the voiced one (except for [th'], [v] - [v'], [l] - [l'], [m] - [m'] , [n] - [n'], [r] - [r']) is also voiced, that is, replaced by its voiced pair: surrender [zda´ch'a], mowing [kaz'ba´], threshing [malad 'ba´], request [pro´z'ba], guess [adgada´t'].

In Russian phonetics, a voiceless noisy consonant does not combine with a subsequent voiced noisy consonant, except for the sounds [v] - [v’]: whipped cream. In this case, the transcription of both the phoneme [z] and [s] is equally acceptable.

When parsing the sounds of words: total, today, today, etc., the letter “G” is replaced by the phoneme [v].

According to the rules of sound-letter analysis, in the endings “-ого”, “-го” of adjectives, participles and pronouns, the consonant “G” is transcribed as the sound [в]: red [kra´snava], blue [s'i´n'iva] , white [b'e´lava], sharp, full, former, that, that, whom. If, after assimilation, two consonants of the same type are formed, they merge. In the school curriculum on phonetics, this process is called consonant contraction: separate [ad:'il'i´t'] → the letters “T” and “D” are reduced into sounds [d'd'], besh smart [b'ish: u ´much]. When analyzing the composition of a number of words in sound-letter analysis, dissimilation is observed - the opposite process to assimilation. In this case, the common feature of two adjacent consonants changes: the combination “GK” sounds like [xk] (instead of the standard [kk]): light [l'o′kh'k'ii], soft [m'a′kh' k'ii].

Soft consonants in Russian

In the phonetic parsing scheme, an apostrophe [’] is used to indicate the softness of consonants.

  • Softening of paired hard consonants occurs before “b”;
  • the softness of the consonant sound in a syllable in writing will help determine the vowel letter that follows it (e, ё, i, yu, i);
  • [ш'], [ч'] and [й] are only soft by default;
  • The sound [n] is always softened before soft consonants “Z”, “S”, “D”, “T”: claim [pr'iten'z 'iya], review [r'itseen'z 'iya], pension [pen 's' iya], ve[n'z'] el, licé[n'z'] iya, ka[n'd'] idat, ba[n'd'] it, i[n'd'] ivid , blo[n'd']in, stipe[n'd']iya, ba[n't']ik, vi[n't']ik, zo[n't']ik, ve[n' t'] il, a[n't'] ical, co[n't'] text, remo[n't'] edit;
  • the letters “N”, “K”, “P” during phonetic analysis of their composition can be softened before the soft sounds [ch'], [sch']: glass ik [staka'n'ch'ik], smenschik ik [sm'e ′n'sch'ik], donch ik [po'n'ch'ik], mason ik [kam'e'n'sch'ik], boulevard [bul'va'r'sh'ina], borscht [ borsch'];
  • often the sounds [з], [с], [р], [н] before a soft consonant undergo assimilation in terms of hardness-softness: wall [s't'e′nka], life [zhyz'n'], here [ z'd'es'];
  • in order to correctly perform sound-letter analysis, take into account the exception words when the consonant [p] before soft teeth and labials, as well as before [ch’], [sch’] is pronounced firmly: artel, feed, cornet, samovar;

Note: the letter “b” after a consonant unpaired in hardness/softness in some word forms performs only a grammatical function and does not impose a phonetic load: study, night, mouse, rye, etc. In such words, during letter analysis, a [-] dash is placed in square brackets opposite the letter “b”.

Positional changes in paired voiced-voiceless consonants before hissing consonants and their transcription during sound-letter parsing

To determine the number of sounds in a word, it is necessary to take into account their positional changes. Paired voiced-voiceless: [d-t] or [z-s] before sibilants (zh, sh, shch, h) are phonetically replaced by a sibilant consonant.

  • Literal analysis and examples of words with hissing sounds: arrival [pr'ie'zhzh ii], ascend [vashsh e´st'iye], izzh elta [i´zh elta], take pity [zh a´l'its: A].

The phenomenon when two different letters are pronounced as one is called complete assimilation in all respects. When performing sound-letter analysis of a word, you must denote one of the repeated sounds in the transcription with the longitude symbol [:].

  • Letter combinations with a hissing “szh” - “zzh” are pronounced like a double hard consonant [zh:], and “ssh” - “zsh” - like [sh:]: squeezed, sewed, without a splint, climbed in.
  • The combinations “zzh”, “zhzh” inside the root, when parsed by letters and sounds, are written in transcription as a long consonant [zh:]: I ride, I squeal, later, reins, yeast, zhzhenka.
  • The combinations “sch”, “zch” at the junction of a root and a suffix/prefix are pronounced as a long soft [sch’:]: account [sch’: o´t], scribe, customer.
  • At the junction of the preposition with the following word in place of “sch”, “zch” is transcribed as [sch'ch']: without number [b'esh' ch' isla´], with something [sch'ch' e'mta] .
  • During sound-letter analysis, the combinations “tch”, “dch” at the junction of morphemes are defined as double soft [ch':]: pilot [l'o´ch': ik], good fellow [little-ch': ik], report [ach': o´t].

Unpronounceable consonants in Russian words

During the pronunciation of an entire phonetic word with a chain of many different consonant letters, one or another sound may be lost. As a result, in the spelling of words there are letters devoid of sound meaning, the so-called unpronounceable consonants. To correctly perform phonetic analysis online, the unpronounceable consonant is not displayed in the transcription. The number of sounds in such phonetic words will be less than letters.

In Russian phonetics, unpronounceable consonants include:

  • "T" - in combinations:
    • stn → [sn]: local [m’e´sn y], reed [tras’n ’i´k]. By analogy, one can perform a phonetic analysis of the words staircase, honest, famous, joyful, sad, participant, messenger, rainy, furious and others;
    • stl → [sl]: happy [sh':asl 'i´vyy"], happy, conscientious, boastful (exception words: bony and postlat, in them the letter “T” is pronounced);
    • ntsk → [nsk]: gigantic [g'iga´nsk 'ii], agency, presidential;
    • sts → [s:]: sixs from [shes: o´t], to eat up [take´s: a], to swear I [kl’a´s: a];
    • sts → [s:]: tourist [tur'i´s: k'iy], maximalist cue [max'imal'i´s: k'iy], racist cue [ras'i´s: k'iy] , bestseller, propaganda, expressionist, Hindu, careerist;

    • ts → [ts] for adjectives in combinations at the junction of a root and a suffix: childish [d’e´ts k’ii], bratskiy [bratskyi];
    • ts → [ts:] / [tss]: athlete [sparts: m’e´n], send [atss yla´t’];
    • tts → [ts:] at the junction of morphemes during phonetic analysis online is written as a long “ts”: bratz a [bra´ts: a], father epit [ats: yp'i´t'], to father u [k atz: y´];
  • “D” - when parsing by sounds in the following letter combinations:
    • zdn → [zn]: late [z'n'y], star [z'v'ozn'y], holiday [pra'z'n'ik], free [b'izvazm' e′know];
    • ndsh → [nsh]: mundsh tuk [munsh tu´k], landsh aft [lansh a´ft];

Note: In some words of the Russian language, when there is a cluster of consonant sounds “stk”, “ntk”, “zdk”, “ndk” the loss of the phoneme [t] is not allowed: trip [payestka], daughter-in-law, typist, summons, laboratory assistant, student , patient, bulky, Irish, Scottish.

  • When parsing letters, two identical letters immediately after the stressed vowel are transcribed as a single sound and a longitude symbol [:]: class, bath, mass, group, program.
  • Doubled consonants in pre-stressed syllables are indicated in transcription and pronounced as one sound: tunnel [tane´l’], terrace, apparatus.

If you find it difficult to perform phonetic analysis of a word online according to the indicated rules, or you have an ambiguous analysis of the word being studied, use the help of a reference dictionary. Literary norms of orthoepy are regulated by the publication: “Russian literary pronunciation and stress. Dictionary - reference book." M. 1959

Now you know how to parse a word into sounds, make a sound-letter analysis of each syllable and determine their number. The described rules explain the laws of phonetics in the school curriculum format. They will help you phonetically characterize any letter.

Phonetic analysis of words is increasingly causing difficulties, although similar tasks are already performed in elementary school. The essence of the analysis is hear and put on paper sound of the word. For most children, the task is difficult and incomprehensible. Let's try to help the guys analyze the word, answer the basic question of how many sounds there are in a word.

Features of phonetics

The science of language has its own classification. One of its sections is phonetics. She learns sound composition of the language. The sound relationship in human speech is interesting:

  • you can pronounce several hundred sounds;
  • used to convey more than 50 thoughts;
  • There are only 33 images of sounds in written speech.

To understand phonetics, you should highlight sounds and letters, distinguish them clearly.

  • letters are a symbolic image of what is heard, they are written and seen;
  • sounds are a pronounced unit of speech, they are pronounced and heard.

The spelling and pronunciation of one word often do not coincide. Signs (letters) can be less or more than sounds. An option is possible when one sound is pronounced, and the letter image of another is recorded on the letter. Such inconsistencies are explained by spelling and spelling rules. Phonetics reserves only pronunciation norms. What concepts are found in the “Phonetics” section:

  • sound;
  • syllable;

Each concept has its own characteristics and number of terms. This is how a whole science is created. What is phonetic analysis of a word? This characteristics of its sound composition of a word.

Phonetics - scheme

Principles and rules

The main difficulties that arise during phonetic analysis are the frequent discrepancy between a letter and its pronunciation. It is difficult to perceive a word not as written, but as heard. The principle of phonetic analysis – focusing on correct pronunciation. Some tips for conducting sound analysis of words:

  1. Determine the sound features.
  2. Write down the transcription of each letter.
  3. Do not adjust sounds to letters, for example, zhi or shi sound [zhy], [shy].
  4. Make adjustments, clearly pronouncing each minimal unit of speech.

Phonetic analysis of a word is performed in a certain sequence. Some of the data will have to be memorized, other information can be prepared in the form of a reminder. Specific areas of phonetics need to be understood. Phonetic processes that are considered basic in school education:

  1. Stunning and voicing. The positions at which consonants become voiceless are the end of the word. Oak [dup].
  2. Softening of consonants in position before soft ones. More often they become soft: z, s, d, t, n. Here - [z'd'es'].
  3. Stunning of voiced consonants before voiceless ones. Teeth - [zupk’i].
  4. Voicing of deaf people before voiced ones. To do - [zd'elat'], mowing - [kaz'ba].

In higher educational institutions, there are more phonetic processes studied by philology students:

  • accommodation,
  • dissimilation,
  • reduction.

Such processes provide a deeper understanding of phonetics and transformation of speech norms. They help future teachers see where children might go wrong and how to explain complex topics.

Phonetic analysis of a word - an example.

Characteristics of vowels and consonants

When dividing a word into sounds, the science of language recognizes the distribution into two large groups:

  • consonants;
  • vowels.

The main difference is in anatomical formation. Vowels - pronounced in a voice without obstacles with the participation of larynx and oral organs. The air leaves the lungs without interference. Consonants encounter obstacles during formation. These can be different organs or a combination of them: tongue, lips, teeth.

Vowels

There are only 6 of them in the language: a, o, u, y, e, i, and to convey them in writing you will need 10 alphabetic characters. Available in semivowel. In the school course she is considered to agree - this is "th". It helps to hear the letters i, ё, e, yu. In this case, two sounds will be heard:

  • ya – I;
  • ye – e;
  • yu – yu;
  • yo – yo.

Bifurcation appears under certain conditions:

  1. At the beginning of the words: Yura, Yasha, Elena.
  2. After vowels: quiet, blue, blue.
  3. After hard and soft signs: blizzard, exit.

In other positions, after consonants, they soften, but do not create double sound.

Vowels can be divided into two groups.

  1. Indicate the previous hard consonant: a, o, u, s, e.
  2. They warn that there is a soft consonant ahead: i, e, e, i, e.

The main characteristic that is required to parse a word by sounds at school concerns stress. Vowels can be of 2 types: percussive and unaccented.

Phonetic structure, how many sounds in a word becomes clear only after analysis and presentation of it in the form of a diagram.

Speech sounds

Consonants

In russian language only twenty consonants. They can be divided according to the characteristics that will be required for analysis:

Paired by voicedness and deafness have the same articulation, which is why they can replace each other during pronunciation. Voiced in certain positions becomes deaf.

Attention! To memorize paired words, schoolchildren can be asked to memorize the first consonants of the alphabet.

Word model

For figurative perception and understanding of the structure of a speech unit, it has been developed sound model of a word. What is this parsing of words? In simple words, this is drawing up a diagram in the form of colored cards of different shapes: square and rectangle. Color differentiation:

  • hard consonants - blue square;
  • soft consonants - green square;
  • vowels – red square;
  • a syllable where a hard consonant with a vowel is a rectangle divided diagonally, blue and red (two triangles);
  • a syllable with a soft consonant and a vowel is a rectangle divided into two parts diagonally, green and red.

The sound model of a word is colored cards laid out in a certain sequence. The model is used in preschool institutions and primary classes. She helps children learn to read. With the correct explanation, the teacher creates conditions for the merging of speech units into a single whole. Training is based on pictures simple and easy. In addition, the model of parsing words into sounds and letters is a way to hear the difference in the pronunciation of consonants and vowels.

Table of sound-letter parsing of words.

Analysis algorithm

Let's consider how the sound analysis of a word is carried out. The word is analyzed in writing. The process can be compared to the transcription that we are used to when learning foreign languages. Analysis order:

  1. Recording the orthographic spelling of the concept being analyzed.
  2. Division into syllabic parts, into possible division into syllables (hyphenations).
  3. Setting the accent, finding its correct place.
  4. Distribution in order of their sound.
  5. Characteristic.
  6. Counting the number of letters and sounds.

To simplify the task, the word written in a column by separate letters, then next to each letter is decomposed into sounds with a description of their characteristics.

Example. Phonetic analysis of the word “everything”

Everything - 1 syllable

v- [f] - acc. hard, dull and steamy;

s - [s’] – acc., soft, deaf and paired;

ё - [o] – vowel and stressed.

Phonetic analysis of the word yula.

Phonetic analysis of the word “laser”, example

La-zer – 2 syllables

l - [l] - acc., hard, voiced and unpaired;

a - [a] – vowel and stressed;

z - [z’] – acc., soft, sonorous and paired;

e - [e] – vowel and unstressed;

p - [p] – agree, hard, voiced and unpaired.

All stages of analysis develop phonemic awareness. It is needed not only by future musicians.

Hearing helps with learning oratory, mastering Russian spelling, it is actively used by polyglots.

Syllabication

The sound pattern of a word begins by dividing it into syllables. The smallest unit of oral speech is the syllable. A clue for the child is the number of vowels: how many there are, so many syllables. In the Russian language, syllabic division into significant parts is subject to certain requirements. Phonetics rules don't always match with dividing words into parts for hyphenation.

Types of syllables:

  • open - end with a vowel;
  • closed - on a consonant;
  • covered - uncovered, which begin with a consonant.

Parsing a word into syllables is constructed according to the following rules:

  1. A syllable must contain a vowel; one consonant (even a significant part, for example, a prefix) cannot be a syllable: s-de-la-t - wrong, make - la-t - correctly.
  2. A syllable often begins with a consonant; if it is followed by a vowel, it cannot remain a separate part: ko-ro-va - correct, kor-ova - incorrect.
  3. The signs, hard and soft, are included in the previous one: horse - ki, rise - ride.
  4. Letters that form a single sound are not divided into parts: by - zhe [zhe], learn [tsa].

IN attention! The order of analysis changes over time.

Parents often find that they were taught differently. New rules also appeared in syllabic division.

  1. Previously, doubled consonants in the middle of a word were distributed among different parts. Now they are introduced into the syllable they begin: kla - ssny, ka - ssa, ma-ssa.
  2. Voiceless consonants go to the next syllable, voiced consonants go to the previous one: bun, then - chka.

Conclusion

Now you know how a sound analysis of a word is done and a diagram is created that conveys its sound in live speech. Parsing words helps develop phonetic hearing, strengthens memory, clarifies some spelling rules. Knowing the parsing algorithm will allow you to do everything quickly and competently.
