Abstract.
The study focuses on a comparative analysis of the temporal organization of two phonetic variants of the Russian language – South Russian (SRV) and Moscow (MRV). Based on a corpus of 1162 segments marked according to the prosodic roles of syllables and their positions within the phrase, the relative duration of segments and syllables was measured. The aim of the study is to identify similarities and differences in the distribution of relative segment duration among vowels and consonants, syllable types, and phrase zones in the two phonetic variants, while evaluating the contribution of individual vowel classes to the temporal organization of speech. The scientific novelty of this work lies in obtaining, for the investigated variants, a comparable quantitative description of the relative duration of segments and the proportional contribution of various syllable types, which allows for the refinement of the prosodic structure model of utterances for variable Russian speech. The findings indicate that the qualitative hierarchy of syllable prominence is consistent across both variants. Differences manifest in the specific influence of the stressed vowel on the structure of the pre-stress zone, the distribution of duration between the pre-stress and post-stress zones, as well as in the varying ratio of the total duration of vowel and consonant segments within the phrase.
