PHONETIC ACCENT OF BRAZILIAN STUDENTS IN PRONUNCIATION OF RUSSIAN LINGUAL OBSTRUENTS: LINGUODIDACTIC ASPECT

Abstract

The article deals with the problems of working out of courses in Russian practical phonetics for Portuguese native speakers. To date, there are almost no separate courses of Russian pronunciation for Portuguese-speaking students; there are only introductory phonetic parts, built into the main course of Russian language for Portuguese students which do not take into account the phonetic features of different variants of Portuguese language. However, there are different variants of Portuguese language in different countries, and each of them has its own phonetic characteristics. These features are transferred to the accent of Portuguese native speakers learning Russian. The article discusses the main deviations in the pronunciation of Russian lingual obstruents in the speech of Brazilian students. Brazilian accent stands out among the accents of other Portuguese-speaking students, as is evident from the comparison of the mistakes of students from Brazil and Portugal in the article. Particular attention is paid to mistakes caused by the transfer of the phonetic patterns of native system to Russian pronunciation. The results of the work can be used for developing training courses in Russian practical phonetics for Portuguese native speakers from different countries.
