1. The subject of comparative typology and its aims

Progressive historical A: sonorant \n\ and tha alveolar \t\, /s/ assimilate the succeeding /d, s. j/: kindness/kainnis/, asked /a:skt/, future /`fju:tʃə/, session \`seʃ(ə)n\. In U Ганця > Гандзя \гандз`я\, бджола. If \c`\ is followed by /т`/ the latter becomes \тц`\: вісті \в`іс`тц`і\, рідість, юність, стіна. A appears as a result of word-forming and word-building: Вінниця – Вінниччина, Одеса-Одещина.
Elision is a complete loss of vowels or consonants in speech. In E the boy`s come /ðe boiz kʌm/. In U regular E isn`t typical but: студент-студентський \студенс`кий\.
Neutralization (devoicing of Cs) is absent in E and U: voiced Cs /b, d, g, z/ and /б, д, г\ґ, з/ do not become voiceless in any position: Bob, log, бузок, приїзд.
16. Typology of the syllable in the contrasted lang-s.
Syllable is the sound in a sound sequence one of which is heard to be more prominent than others. The peak is the most prominent or syllabic. In U only vowels are syllabic (but Russ рубль, дубль), in E vowels and sonorants are syll-c. In U the number of Ss = number of vowels. The number of Ss varies from 1-8 in both lang-s. the syllable correlation in words is following: in E 1 syllable words 55%, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. In U 2 syll. 39%, 3, 4, 1, 5, 6. the typology of the syllable is based on the number of cons-s and their arrangement: left arr-nt covered CV, uncovered VC. Right arr-nt CV open syll, VC closed syll. 66% of syll-s in E and 27 % in U are closed. CV, VC, CVC are most occurant structures in both lang-s.
