Abstract
The present paper analyzes acoustic measurements and normalized representations of vowels realized in the interfered Russian speech of native Karachay-Balkar speakers. The primary probabilistic-statistical analysis was performed on the materials of formant measurements of a large set of vowel tokens recorded in the form of phonation reading of a pre-prepared list of words. Then, the data transformed by Lobanov’s method to reduce the variability associated with the individual characteristics of the informants were considered. The results showed a systematic deviation of the acoustic patterns of vowel allophones in the F1–F2 space, as well as their representations in the space of pronunciation features. The present study is aimed at detecting features that have sufficient identification significance for subsequent use in automatic systems of non-native speech recognition, accent identification, linguistic expertise, or voice biometrics.
