LECTURE 6. TYPOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ENGLISH,
UZBEK AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES PHONETIC AND
PHONOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
Problems for discussion:
1. English, Uzbek and Russian languages vowel phonemes
2. English, Uzbek and Russian languages consonant phonemes
3. English, Uzbek and Rissian languages Stress
4. English, Uzbek and Russian languages intonation
Key words:
Vowels, stability of articulation, vertical movement, phonemic,
tongue position, word stress, syllable, two languages, falls on, final syllable
Vowels are normally made with the air stream that meets no obstruction in
the mouth, pharyngeal and nasal cavities.
On the articulatory level in English the description of vowels notes changes:
1.
in the stability of articulation
2.
in the tongue position
3.
in the lip position
4.
in their length
In Uzbek and Russian they are described:
1. according to the lips position
2. according to the vertical movement of the tongue
3. according to the horizontal movement of the tongue
English has
1.)
10 monophthongs: /i/, /e/, /ǽ/, /u/, /
٨
/, /ә/, /a:/, /o/, /o:/, /ә:/.
2.)
8 diphthongs: glides to [i] -/ei/, /oi/, /ai/;
glides to [u] -/au/, /әu/, /uә/;
29
glides to [ә] - /iә/, /εә//
i:/, /u:/
3.)
2 diphthongoids
Thus, the phonemic inventory of English vowels includes 20 phonemes and
6 vowel letters a, i, e, u, o, y, Uzbek has 6 vowel phonemes [и], [э], [a], [у], [ў],
[o] and letters i, e, a, u, o‘, o. Russian also has 6 vowel phonemes [и], [ы], [у],
[э], [о], [а] and 10 vowel letters а, о, э, и, у, ы, е, ѐ, ю, я.
Tongue Position
According to the tongue position vowels divided into forward, mid,
backward, up, down in all compared languages.
According to the tongue position English vowels divided into 5 types
but in Uzbek and Russian languages they are in 3 types:
front
vowel
front-
retracted
vowel
centr
al vowels
back
vowels
back-
advanced

Moving up and down in the mouth the tongue may be raised to
different height towards the roof of the mouth.
1. When the front or the back of the tongue is raised high towards the palate
the vowel is called
close
in English and Russian languages.
They are – [ i: I u u:].
2. When the front or the back of the tongue is as low as possible in the
mouth
open
vowels are pronounced in English and Russian languages.
They are – [ǽ a: o o:].
3. When the highest part of the tongue occupies the position intermediate
between the close and the open one
mid
vowels are pronounced only in English.
They are – [e Λ ә: ә].
According to the vertical position of the tongue in Uzbek and Russian
vowels are divided into narrow, mid and broad:
narrow
mid
broad
Uzbek
[и, у]
[э, o, ў]
[a]
Russian
[и], [ы], [у]
[э], [о]
[а]
Lip Position
30
When the lips are neutral or spread the vowels are called
unrounded.
They are – [i:], [i], [e], [ǽ], [a:], [Λ], [ә:], [ә]in English. In Uzbek they are –
[и], [э], [a], in Russian [а], [э], [и], [ы].
When the lips are drawn together so that the opening between them is
more or less round the vowel is called
rounded
.
They are – [o o: u u:]. In Uzbek [у], [ў], [o]. InRussian [о], [у].
According to the length, English vowels are classified into short and long:
Long vowels are – [i: a: o: u: ә:]
Short vowels are – [i, e, o, u, Λ, ә].
But in comparison with English, there is no such division of vowels in
Uzbek and Russian. But in Russian vowels are divided into
stressed
and
unstressed
vowels.
Prof. U.K. Yusupov describes some Uzbek geminis vowels such as [шуур,
матбаа, Шоолим], which are alien to English. He classifies lacuna vowels in the
compared languages as follows:
English lacuna vowels for Uzbek: [ǽ], [u:], [ә:], [a:], [ou], [oi], [ә:],
[au], [iә], [uә], [εә], [ai].
There is only one Uzbek lacuna vowel for English. It is [ў]. And one
Russian lacuna vowel for English. It is [ы].
The phonemic status of English diphthongs is still a question of discussion.
Diphthongs are complex units of the two elements which are closely blended
together. They are syllabically indivisible; the length of diphthongs is the same as
that of English long vowels. In Uzbek and Russian, there are no diphthongs, only
combinations of sounds where both elements are equally energetic and distinct.
English diphthongs consist of two elements, the first of which is a nucleus, strong
and distinct; the second is a glide, which is very weak and indistinct.
