Abstract
Among many types of phonetic modifications in casual speech, those that occur across word boundaries can affect two words simultaneously. If inter-word penetration is considerable and accompanied with lack of other sources (semantic, syntactic) of information, the differentiation of two words can be confused. The present study, based on the data from spontaneous Russian, investigates word-external quantitative reductions. The classification of all examples is given in order to reveal what patterns of modified realizations can occur in sloppy Russian and what their probability is.
