Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of sound (phonetic) interference in the Russian speech of bilingual Tajiks. The author examines the features of interference at the level of phonemes, articulation, intonation, rhythm and stress, due to the differences between the phonetic and phonological systems of the Tajik and Russian languages. The paper presents a comparative analysis of vocalism and consonantism of both languages, reveals systemic inconsistencies, such as the absence of qualitative reduction in the Tajik language, the presence of stable and unstable vowels, the absence of the sound [ы] and a number of consonant phonemes in the Tajik system, as well as specific features of stress. Based on a sociolinguistic experiment among Tajik students, typical pronunciation errors associated with interference were identified: hyper-clear articulation, incorrect implementation of unstressed vowels, substitutions and distortions of consonant sounds, difficulties with softening and pronouncing consonant clusters.
