POSITIONAL RULES OF PERSIAN CONSONANT SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF TEACHING RUSSIAN PHONETICS TO PERSIANS

Abstract

The article deals with problems of designing courses of Russian practical phonetics for Persian native speakers. Currently, there are almost no stand-alone courses of Russian pronunciation for Persian-speaking students. However, there is a number of various dialects of Persian language, and each of them has its own phonetic characteristics. Such features are transferred to the accent of Persian native speakers learning Russian language. The article discusses the main deviations in pronunciation of Tehrani-speaking students caused by the differences between positional rules in Russian language and Tehrani dialect of Persian. The transfer of the positional rules of native system to Russian pronunciation causes significant and recurring deviations in the accent of non-Russian-speaking students, in our case – the Tehrani-speaking students. The results of the research can be used for designing the courses of Russian practical phonetics for Persian native speakers.
