Abstract
A lot of people from foreign countries come to St. Petersburg to study and work. As practice shows, a linguistic issue is one of the most vital for the process of foreign students adaptation. The study of difficulties associated with the manifestations of phonetic interference is an important research topic as the results will facilitate the process of adaptation and teaching Russian as a second language. This article considers the manifestations of phonetic interference in the speech of Tajik speakers on the example of errors associated with the implementation and perception of word stress. Auditory, instrumental and perceptual experiments were conducted on the material of spontaneous speech and reading of 32 speakers (total duration of the recordings is 294 min). The results of this research show that Tajik speakers do not make mistakes in word stress realizations systematically, but they do not understand what is a ‘word stress’ in the Russian language. When teaching the Russian language as a foreign language to Tajiks, it is also necessary to consider the influence of the tonal component of stress and to conduct training in the implementation of word stress in a complex together with intonation.
