This book applies the principles of Natural Phonetics & Tonetics to describe the pronunciation of Russian, including intonation, in a precise way never found in earlier treatises. It includes an introduction to the Natural Phonotonetics Method, which can be used for any other language, as well (without the sadly known limitations of official IPA).0The vowels, consonants, structures, and intonation of Russian are fully described and transcribed, with examples of words, sentences, and longer texts, in addition to the intonationally integrated IPA sample passage ?The North Wind and the Sun?.0Different types of Russian pronunciation are fully described (with clear phonic maps): international, neutral, traditional, mediatic. In addition, 22 regional accents of actual Russia, from eastern Europe to far eastern Asia, are described, together with 13 accents of post-Soviet nations.0Other chapters provide some observations on foreign accents of Russian and 26 concise language phonopses and all orograms for easier comparisons.0A mini-phono-dictionary contains more than 3000 words, mainly Names, is also provided.

This dissertation provides a coherent, synchronic, broad-coverage, generative phonology of Russian. I test the grammar empirically in a number of ways to determine its goodness of fit to Russian. In taking this approach, I aim to avoid making untested (or even incoherent) generalizations based on only a handful of examples. In most cases, the tests show that there are exceptions to the theory, but at least we know what the exceptions are, a baseline is set against which future theories can be measured, and in most cases the percentage of exceptional cases is reduced to below 5%. The principal theoretical outcomes of the work are as follows. First, I show that all of the phonological or morphophonological processes reviewed can be described by a grammar no more powerful than context-free. Secondly, I exploit probabilistic constraints in the syllable structure grammar to explain why constraints on word-marginal onsets and codas are weaker than on word-internal onsets and codas. I argue that the features []/- initial] and []/- final], and extraprosodicity, are unnecessary for this purpose.
