 Russian phonology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Russian possesses five vowels and consonants typically come in pairs of hard (твёрдый ['tvʲo.rdɨj]) and soft (мягкий ['mʲæ.xʲkʲɪj]) or plain and palatalized.
Russian diphthongs all end in a non-syllabic [i̯], which can be considered an allophone of /j/, the only semivowel in Russian.
The modern phonological system of Russian is inherited from Common Slavonic, but underwent considerable modification in the early historical period, before being largely settled by about 1400.

UMass Phonology Group Meeting April 23, 2004 ABSTRACT Phonetics and Phonology in Unstressed Vowel Reduction: Russian and Beyond Jonathan Barnes Boston University Phonological vowel reduction (VR), the neutralization of vowel contrasts in unstressed syllables, has been central to recent debate surrounding the phonetics-phonology interface (Barnes 2002, Crosswhite 2001, Flemming 2001, inter alia).
Assuming a distinction between an abstract, categorical phonology and a quantitative, gradient phonetics (as per Cohn 1990, Zsiga 1993, Keating 1996, inter alia), this experiment demonstrates that while neutralization of unstressed /a/ and /o/ is categorical and phonological, further reduction to schwa turns out to be gradient and phonetic in nature.
Under this analysis, Russian phonology simply banishes /o/ from unstressed syllables, while the phonetics manipulates the height of phonologically low unstressed vowels as a function of their duration.

I argue that, given the representational assumptions of the Unified Feature model (Selkirk 1991) and the formalisms of the Correspondence model in OT, the outputs of various phonological processes are uniformly determined by the feature markedness asymmetries and the relations of similarity between the interacting segments.
The present analysis allows a fundamentally different, more explanatory approach to several well-known issues in Russian phonology, previously analysed in derivational terms.
On the other hand, the "derivational residue" in Russian phonology, such as the exceptionality of epenthetic elements, poses significant problems for OT, and requires a rethinking of correspondence relations.

 About our Programs
This involves the study of the mechanisms and principles that determine the structures of all human languages (universal grammar).
The core areas of linguistics include phonology (the study of the sound patterns of language), morphology (the study of the internal structure of words), syntax (the study of the internal structure of sentences), and semantics (the study of the meaning of words and sentences).
In addition to Russian, which is the program's main focus, students normally study two other Slavic languages (Czech, Polish, and Serbian/Croatian are offered).
