Abstract
The present study aims at analyzing the cross-linguistic influence of the rising tone realization in native and nonnative speech in the tone placement in the phrase and its pitch contour configuration. The comparative and speech acoustic analyses were employed. The material consists of the speech recordings provided by the Russian- and English-speaking respondents. The findings evidence the cross-linguistic influence of the rising tone realization. It is manifested in the converging phrase illocutionary force and the tonal meaning. The nonnative speech pitch contour has its own parameters rather than being an echo of the native contour.
