Combination chn in most cases it is pronounced as written: greedy, decent, accurate, candle, cute, urgent, lowercase, eternal, excellent etc. Only in some words in place chn pronounced [ shn]:of course, boring, on purpose, scrambled eggs, laundry, birdhouse, mustard plaster, Savvichna, Ilyinichna, Kuzminichna, Nikitichna, Lukinichna, Fominichna etc. In some words, double pronunciation is allowed: bakery, watchman, enough, penny, shopkeeper, decent, candlestick, trifling, etc. The same word in different combinations can be pronounced differently: heart attack, But dear friend; hat workshop, But hat acquaintance. According to the old Moscow norm, the pronunciation [ shn] was necessarily in a large number of words and prevailed. The modern tendency is to supplant the pronunciation [ shn] and under the influence of writing replaced it with [ chn].
Pronunciation of hard and soft consonants before e in borrowed words
The Russian language as a whole is characterized by the opposition of hard and soft consonants. Wed: small And crumpled,WHO And carried,sir And gray,mouse And bear.
In many European languages there is no such opposition. When borrowed, a word usually obeys the pronunciation norms of the Russian language. Yes, before e in Russian the soft consonant usually sounds: chalk,No. Many borrowed words begin to be pronounced in the same way: meter,rebus. However, in other cases, the pronunciation of the hard consonant is preserved in the borrowed word: adept[adept], amber[ambre], although this is not reflected graphically. Usually after a hard consonant in Russian it is written uh , after soft - e . In borrowed words, as a rule, it is written e . Consonants can be pronounced both softly and firmly.
When pronouncing a borrowed word, several parameters must be taken into account.
1. The pronunciation of hard consonants is usually preserved by foreign surnames: Shope[e]n, Volte[e]r.
2. The pronunciation of hard consonants is usually preserved in bookish, little-used words that have recently entered the Russian language: de[e]-facto, apart[e]id, re[e]iting.
As the word becomes established in the language, the pronunciation of a hard consonant can be replaced by the pronunciation of a soft consonant (in accordance with the spelling). So, now it is possible to pronounce a consonant in two ways: de[e/e]gradate, de[e/e]valuation, de[e/e]duction, de[e/e]odorant, de[e/e]kan.
3. The type of consonant located before plays a certain role e .
So, in borrowed words with the combination de- The process of softening the consonant regularly occurs (in accordance with the spelling): decoration, de[e]clamation, de[e]mobilization.
The process of softening the consonant is quite active in words with combinations no, re :aggression[e]ssion, watercolor[e]el, bere[e]t, re[e]gent, re[e]ter, referee, brunette[e]t, chine[e]el.
On the contrary, the combination of consonants those retain the firm pronunciation of the preceding consonant quite stably: ate[e]lye, bijoute[e]riya, bute[er]rbrod, de[e]te[e]active, te[e]rier.
4. A certain role is played by the source of borrowing and the place in the word of combination with e .
Thus, those words that are borrowed from French with a final stressed syllable consistently retain the pronunciation of a hard consonant sound: entre[e], meringue[e], corrugation[e], curé[e], paste[e]el.
5. In place of letters uh,e after vowels in borrowed words a non-voted sound is pronounced [ uh], i.e. without preceding [th]: project[e]kt, project[e]ts.
It is absolutely unacceptable to pronounce [j] in a word poet and its derivatives ( poetic, poetess).
Changing the quality of consonants before e in words of foreign language origin is a living process, which is associated with the presence of pronunciation variants and discrepancies in the assessment of these variants. Softening consonants before e occurs primarily in well-known, most common words and less actively in special vocabulary limited use.
The Russian language as a whole is characterized by the opposition of hard and soft consonants (cf.: small And crumpled, Houses And Dema). In many European languages there is no such opposition. When borrowed, a word usually obeys the pronunciation norms of the Russian language. Thus, before “e” in Russian there is usually a soft consonant ( m ate, no). Many foreign words begin to be pronounced in the same way: meter, r y ebus. The pronunciation of hard consonants is usually preserved by all foreign surnames: Chopin[pe], Voltaire[te]. The pronunciation of a hard consonant before “e” is also typical for bookish, rarely used words ( apartheid [te]. demarche [de]). The type of consonant before “e” also has a certain meaning. For example, the combination “de” is more often pronounced with a soft consonant. and the combination “those” - with hard. The source of borrowing plays a significant role. For example, the final stressed syllable in words from French usually pronounced with a hard consonant ( pastel [te], cure [re], corrugated [re]). But there are exceptions here, for example, the word overcoat pronounced with a soft "n". Here is a small group of words in which pronunciation errors are often observed.
The correct pronunciation of a hard consonant before “e” in the following words is considered: artery, atelier, atheist, jewelry, business, businessman, beefsteak, brandy, Bruderschaft, Bundeswehr, sandwich, bra, water polo, riding breeches, gangster, corrugated, grotesque, disintegration, decadent, dequalification, cleavage, detective, dumping, denunciation, determinism, de facto, de jure, decryption, identical, impresario, inert, index, interval, integration, intensity, intervention, interview, cartel, caret, cabaret, condensate, container, motorcade, computer, curé, laser, lottery, Madeira, mademoiselle, manager, travel bag, nonsense, pastel, panel, panther, producer, rugby, relay, sweater, thesis, timbre, trend, tempo, tent, masterpiece, chimpanzee, plug, esthete.
In words diet, project, caries the sound [j] is not pronounced, that is, they sound like [d b ieta], [proekt], [kar b ies].
The consonant before “e” is pronounced softly: academy, certificate, benefit, takes, brunette, bookmaker, accounting, bill of exchange, gazelle, haberdashery, hegemon, debit, debate, debut, degenerate, devaluation, degradation, disinfection, demagogue, democrat, demi-season, dismantling, deposit, dispatch, despot, defect, hyphen, deficit, deformation, dividend, ikebana, investor, intellectual; congress, air conditioning, coffee, cream, patent, presentation, progress, review, raglan, register, reserve, raid, flight, rail, x-ray, referee, term, overcoat, effect.
In general, the pronunciation of hard and soft consonants in borrowed words is a very flexible norm. As a rule, when borrowed, a word is pronounced with a hard consonant for some time. As it becomes mastered by the language, it loses the “patina” of a foreign, “alien”, the hard pronunciation is gradually replaced by the pronunciation of a soft consonant (in accordance with the spelling). Sometimes this process goes very quickly. For example, schoolchildren in urban schools, where a computer is no longer perceived as something exotic, usually pronounce the word computer with a soft “t”, but such a pronunciation has not yet become the general literary norm.
At the same time, in some cases, the pronunciation of both hard and soft consonants is equally acceptable. For example, the pronunciation of “e” and “e” is allowed in the words: aggression, disinformation, decade, dean, credo, claim and some others.
You should also pay attention to social significance pronunciation of hard and soft consonants in borrowed words. If the norm is still the pronunciation of a hard consonant, then the pronunciation of a soft consonant can be perceived as a manifestation of low human culture (cf.: chimpanzee e, copper ema el) at the same time, the pronunciation of a hard consonant in a word where the pronunciation of a soft consonant has already become the norm , can be perceived as a manifestation of philistinism, pseudo-intellectualism. This is how, for example, pronunciations like shi[ne]l, k[re]m, ko[fe], bru[ne]t, aka[de]miya, [te]ma are perceived.
Pronunciation of [e] and [o] under stress after soft consonants and sibilants
In Russian, in the position between a soft and a hard consonant under stress, “o” is usually pronounced (graphically “ё”): sister - sisters, wife - wives. However, in entire groups of words such alternation is not observed. These are many borrowed words ( bluff, scam etc.), words that came to us from the Old Church Slavonic language. For example, nouns starting with -е are usually of Old Church Slavonic origin, and words with -е are of Russian origin, so the following parallels can be identified: being-being, life - life . There is no alternation in the position between two soft consonants, cf.: ice, But - black ice.

4. Highlight the words in which the consonant before E is pronounced firmly.
Antithesis, anapest, grotesque, aesthetics, effect, genetics, tennis, pool, phoneme, benefit.
In the position before the sound [e], denoted in writing by the letter e, in borrowed words both soft and hard consonants are pronounced. Lack of softness is often characteristic of dental [d], [t], [z], [s], [n] and the sound [r]. However, the consonant before is pronounced softly e in words academy,cream,press, museum,tenor and many others. See lists of such words below.

1. Certain kinds of difficulties may arise when pronouncing consonants before E in foreign words.
Some book words and words of a terminological nature are pronounced with a hard consonant before E: in[te]rvyu, tone[ne]l, sin[te]z, [te]st, [mene]ger, [te]zis, kok\te\yl.
In modern Russian, the main tendency in the pronunciation of borrowed words is to move from solid version pronunciation to soft. Some words that were previously pronounced only firmly can now be pronounced softly: artery, vaudeville, devaluation, deduction, deodorant, dismantling, criterion, panther.
2. As a rule, you should remember: in all borrowed words, the sounds [k], [g], [x] and [l] before E are softened according to the laws of Russian phonetics: \k"e\ks, s[x"e\ma, [g"e\nesis, suf[l"e], ba[g"e]t. In most cases, soft pronunciation of consonants becomes the main one, and the variant with hard pronunciation becomes obsolete and is characterized by dictionaries as acceptable, for example: aggression[r"e and additional re], dean[d "e and additional de], depression[d"e, r"e and add. de, re], hyphen[d "e and additional de], congress[r"ee additional re], progress[r"e and additional re], express[r"e and additional re].
It should be especially noted the pronunciation of complex abbreviated words (abbreviations): they are pronounced the same way as the names of the letters that make them up are pronounced: VAT [en de es], FSB [ef es be], CIS [es en ge]. Proper names should be pronounced correctly: Lodeynoye Pole(district center of the Leningrad region) [d] pronounced softly Lo[d"e\ynoe, and not [de]; O[d "e]ssa, and not O[de]ssa, as we sometimes hear.
However, we pronounce many foreign names and surnames, as well as geographical names, with a strong consonant: \De]kart, Vol[te]r, Gyo[te], Ma[ne\, Ro[de]n, Ba[de]n-Ba[de]n, Manhat[te]n etc. The norm regarding borrowed names developed back in the 19th century and is associated with the habit of pronouncing proper names as they sound in the original language.
3. It is necessary to distinguish between the sounds [e] and [o] after soft consonants. You should remember: a) only [e] pronounced in words: af e ra, be e, foreigner e ny, ist e kshiy, oops e ka and etc.; b) only [O] pronounced in words: zat ë cough, newborn ë ny, sharp ë , prin ë superior and etc.
Pronunciation options can also be noted: equal ( white e syy And white ë syy, decide e woven And decide ë woven), semantic ( n e bo–n ë bo, zhel e zka – zhel ë zka), normative-chronological ( akush e r – akush ë R(obsolete), hopeless ë zhny – hopeless e gentle(obsolete), etc.).
Pronunciation of the combination CN. The combination of CN requires special attention, because When pronouncing it, mistakes are often made.
In modern Russian, the combination CHN is pronounced in most cases as [CH"N], especially in words of book origin: al[h"n]y, anti\h"n\y, poro[h"n\y, remov[h"n]y, interpersonal[h"n]ostny, command[h"n\y, matri[ h"n]y and etc.
In some cases, the same word may be pronounced differently depending on the figurative meaning that appears in stable combinations: heart disease And cordial friend, kopeck coin And copious soul.
Even at the beginning of the 20th century, many words with the combination [CHN] were pronounced with [shn], and not [ch"n]: bul[sh]aya, everyday[sh]y, young[sh\ny, lingon[sh]y and others, in modern language such pronunciation is characterized as outdated or even colloquial.
Now the pronunciation of this combination corresponds to the spelling [ch"n]. Only in some words should only [shn] be pronounced: horse[shn]o, sku[shn]o, naro[shn]o, eggs[shn]itsa, starling[shn]ik, laundry[shn]aya, och[shn]ik, mustard[shn]ik, empty [sh]y. The same pronunciation is retained in female patronymics: Ilin[sh]a, Lukini[sh]a, Nikiti[sh]a, Savvi[sh]a, Fomini[sh]a. This is a traditional deviation from the general norm, which is legitimized by dictionaries, so it should be adhered to in your speech.
Pronunciation of the combination CHT. Combination Thu usually pronounced as written, for example: ma Thu a, by Thu about Thu And and etc.; but only a combination [PCS] pronounced in a word What and its derivatives (except for the lexeme something). In a word nothing Double pronunciation is allowed.
Pronunciation of double consonants. It is necessary to correctly pronounce double consonants in Russian and borrowed words. Here you should adhere to the following recommendations: 1) double consonants in Russian words at the junction of morphemes are usually preserved in pronunciation, for example: be zz busy, bb erh, co NN oh, blah ss well-known etc.; the same in prefixed passive participles: I'm thinking NN oh, except NN oh, neutralize NN th etc. In prefixless participles one sound is pronounced n : wound NN in the leg, in the heat NN potatoes in oil; The exception is those cases when words like purchase NN oh, broche NN oh yeah NN th etc. are used as adjectives; 2) in borrowed words and in Russian words that have foreign morphemes, the double consonant is usually pronounced for a long time if it comes after a stressed syllable: va NN a, ka ss a, g mm ah, cape ll a, ma NN a (heavenly) etc. A double consonant is not pronounced in cases where it stands: a) before a stressed syllable: A ss ambleya, co pp respondent, mi ll yard, gra mm atika, and kk reddit; b) at the end of a word: meta ll, gra mm, gris pp ; c) before a consonant: gru pp ka, ka ss ny, program mm ny etc. Variant pronunciation is allowed in some words, for example: A NN ala, and NN otation, and ss imitation, di ff Uzia, ka ss eta and etc.
Pronunciation of vowels and consonants in borrowed words. Certain difficulties are caused by the pronunciation of vowels and consonants in borrowed words: 1) in some words of foreign language origin (including proper names) the unstressed sound is preserved O , For example: vet O, credit O, With O no, Fl O ber, Z O la and etc.; at the same time, in most well-mastered words there is an acane: R O man, ar O checkmate, k O mfort etc. In some cases, variant pronunciation of unstressed O : V O calism, p O ezia and etc.; 2) in place of letters uh, e after vowels in foreign words a sound is pronounced [e](without antecedent [th]): about e ct, piru uh t, by uh Zia, Audi e nation and etc.; 3) labial consonants before e in most cases pronounced softly ( b Engali, b enefis, P Elerina, V spruce V no etc.), but in some cases labial before e remain solid: b eta, business m en, Kar m en, Sho P en etc. Dental consonants t, d, h, s, n, r more often than others remain firm in front of e (en T enna, ge n ethics, polo n ez, fo n ema, gro T esk, d e T active etc.), but only soft dental ones are pronounced before e in words: bulletin T hey, clair n no, T enor, fa n era, shi n spruce, O d essa etc. In many words before e Variant (hard and soft) pronunciation of consonants is possible: d ekan, pre T enzia, T therapy, T error, T rivers and etc.
Accentological norms (stress norms). Accent – highlighting a syllable in a word by various means: intensity (in Czech language), duration (in Modern Greek), tone movement (in Vietnamese and other tonal languages). In Russian, a stressed vowel in a syllable is distinguished by its duration, intensity and tone movement. In many languages, placing stress does not cause any difficulties, because the emphasis in them is fixed. In Polish, Latin languages the stress falls on the penultimate syllable, in French - on the last; in English - on the first syllable. Russian accent is different places , because it can fall on any syllable, for example, on the first - etc A vilo, On the second - walls A , on the third - beauty A etc. Diversity allows you to differentiate grammatical forms words: st e us - walls s, R at ki - hand And, us s fall - mound A t etc. Stress in the Russian language can be characterized as movable and fixed. motionless An accent that falls on the same part of a word is called: G O hospital, g O hospital, g O spital, g O hospital, oh O spital - the accent is fixed to the root; ringing Yu, ringing And m, ringing And those ringing And sew, ring And t, ringing I T - the accent is assigned to the ending. Accent changing place in different forms the same word is called mobile : start A t, n A started, started A; right, right A you're right A; could at, m O eat, m O gut; Mon I t, p O yal, got it A.
Within the literary norm, there are a significant number of stress options. There are, for example: 1) equal options (interchangeable in all cases, regardless of style, time, etc.): LOL A vet And rusty e t, TV O horn And creation O G, b A rust And barge A ; T e fteli And teft e whether; at the same time e exactly And at the same time e but also etc. There are about 5000 such words in the Russian language. 2) unequal: a) semantic (varies in meaning): witticisms A (blades) and sharp O that(witty expression); tr at sit(afraid) - coward And t(run); Pogr at married(placed in transport) - immersed e ny(lowered in water); b) stylistic (refer to different language styles), in particular bookish and colloquial ( points A t And b A catch, Great Danes O R And d O talk), common and professional ( To O MPA And computer A With, And skra And sparks A, A languid And at O many; excited O and exc. at expected); V) normative-chronological (manifest in the time of their use), for example modern and outdated: apartment e nts And apart A cops, stolen And English And Ukrainian A Insky.
Placing stress in derived forms of words presents a certain difficulty. Here you should follow some rules.
1. Certain kinds of difficulties may arise when pronouncing consonants before E in foreign words.
Some book words and words of a terminological nature are pronounced with a hard consonant before E: in[te]rvyu, tone[ne]l, sin[te]z, [te]st, [mene]ger, [te]zis, kok\te\yl.

In most cases, soft pronunciation of consonants becomes the main one, and the variant with hard pronunciation becomes obsolete and is characterized by dictionaries as acceptable, for example: aggression[r"e and additional re], dean[d "e and additional de], depression[d"e, r"e and add. de, re], hyphen[d "e and additional de], congress[r"ee additional re], progress[r"e and additional re], express[r"e and additional re].
It should be especially noted the pronunciation of complex abbreviated words (abbreviations): they are pronounced the same way as the names of the letters that make them up are pronounced: VAT [en de es], FSB [ef es be], CIS [es en ge].

Accentological norms (stress norms). Accent – highlighting a syllable in a word by various means: intensity (in Czech), duration (in Modern Greek), tone movement (in Vietnamese and other tonal languages). In Russian, a stressed vowel in a syllable is distinguished by its duration, intensity and tone movement. In many languages, placing stress does not cause any difficulties, because the emphasis in them is fixed. In Polish and Latin the stress falls on the penultimate syllable, in French - on the last; in English - on the first syllable. Russian accent is different places , because it can fall on any syllable, for example, on the first - etc A vilo, On the second - walls A , on the third - beauty A etc. Variability allows you to distinguish between the grammatical forms of words: st e us - walls s, R at ki - hand And, us s fall - mound A t etc. Stress in the Russian language can be characterized as movable and fixed. motionless An accent that falls on the same part of a word is called: G O hospital, g O hospital, g O spital, g O hospital, oh O spital - the accent is fixed to the root; ringing Yu, ringing And m, ringing And those ringing And sew, ring And t, ringing I T - the accent is assigned to the ending. An accent that changes place in different forms of the same word is called mobile : start A t, n A started, started A; right, right A you're right A; could at, m O eat, m O gut; Mon I t, p O yal, got it A.
Within the literary norm, there are a significant number of stress options. There are, for example: 1) equal options (interchangeable in all cases, regardless of style, time, etc.): LOL A vet And rusty e t, TV O horn And creation O G, b A rust And barge A ; T e fteli And teft e whether; at the same time e exactly And at the same time e but also etc. There are about 5000 such words in the Russian language. 2) unequal: a) semantic (varies in meaning): witticisms A (blades) and sharp O that(witty expression); tr at sit(afraid) - coward And t(run); Pogr at married(placed in transport) - immersed e ny(lowered in water); b) stylistic (refer to different language styles), in particular bookish and colloquial ( points A t And b A catch, Great Danes O R And d O talk), common and professional ( To O MPA And computer A With, And skra And sparks A, A languid And at O many; excited O and exc. at expected); V) normative-chronological (manifest in the time of their use), for example modern and outdated: apartment e nts And apart A cops, stolen And English And Ukrainian A Insky.
Placing stress in derived forms of words presents a certain difficulty. Here you should follow some rules.
Noun
1. A number of nouns have a fixed stress on the stem in all forms: St. A T – St. A You, T O rt – T O mouths, shr And ft – shr And ft etc.
2. Many monosyllabic masculine nouns are in the genitive case singular accent on ending: b And nt – bandage A, With e rp – sickle A, s O nt – umbrella A etc.
3. Nouns female in the shape of accusative case singular numbers are accented or on the ending ( troubles at, wine at, slabs at, bur at etc.), or based on ( b O family, in O du, z And mu, p O RU etc.).
4. Some monosyllabic nouns of the 3rd declension when used with a preposition V And on have an accent on the ending: in the pile And, in honor And, in connection And, at night And .
5. Nouns of the 3rd declension in the genitive case plural have an emphasis that is based on ( ascend s sheshennosti, gl at post, m e ness etc.), then at the end ( news e th, queues, shadows and etc.); double emphasis: O industries And industry e y, p I dey And span e th, statement e th And V e domosti.
Adjective
1. If in the short form of the feminine gender the stress falls on the ending, then in the short forms of the neuter and masculine gender the stress is placed on the stem, and it usually coincides with the stress in the full form: b e ly - white A, b e l, b e lo; I dark - clear A, I Sep, I sno etc.
2. In the plural form, double stress is possible: b e ly – white s, bl And zyki - close And, P at sty - empty s, n And language - low And etc. But only easy And, etc A You.
3. If in the short feminine form the emphasis falls on the ending, then in the comparative degree - on the suffix: length A– length e e, visible A– visible e e, full - full e e and etc.
4. If in the short feminine form the emphasis falls on the stem, then in the comparative degree the emphasis is placed on the stem: lil O va – lil O vee, beautiful And va – beautiful And vee, flax And va-len And in her and so on.
Verb
1. The stress in past tense forms can be on the stem or on the ending. There are three groups of words: a) verbs with an accent on the base in all forms: blow - blew, d at la, d at lo, d at whether; put – put, kl A la, cl A lo, cl A whether and etc.; b) verbs with an accent on the stem in all forms, except for the feminine form, in which it changes to the ending: take - took, took A, br A lo, br A whether; swim swam swam A, pl s lo, pl s whether etc.; c) verbs with stress on the prefix in all forms, except for the feminine form, in which it changes to the ending: take - s A nyal, took A, s A I'm sorry, s A hired; start - n A started, started A, n A chalo, n A chatted and etc.
2. In short passive past participles, the emphasis in the feminine form in some cases falls on the ending, in others - on the prefix: a) taken - taken A, started – started A, accepted – accepted A ; b) in participles on -abused, -torn, -called the emphasis falls on the prefix: h A brane, pr e torn, pr And called and so on.
3. Among the verbs in -edit two groups are distinguished: a) with emphasis on And (cop And talk, discuss And work, consult And to sleep); b) with emphasis on A (standards A yeah, premium A yeah, seals A t). Passive past participles formed from verbs ending in -edit , are divided into two groups: a) form on -And to sleep matches the form on -And blocked (blocked And rove – block And planned, planned And to plan - plan And roved); b) form on -irs A t– form on -ir O bathroom (premium A t - prime world O bathtub, shaped A t - formed O bathroom).
Variation and mobility of stress lead to errors. The main causes of errors include the following.
1. Ignorance of the origin of the word. Words coming from French will have the stress on the last syllable. These include: apostrophe O f, blinds And, quart A l, kokl Yu w, fet And w, exp e rt.
2. The absence of the letter E in the printed text, because it is always under stress: spellbound, newborn, fastened, taken away, condemned.
3. Poor knowledge of morphology. If case forms are formed incorrectly, errors are made, for example: keychain A instead of wandered O ka, towels instead of canvas e netz, rake e th instead of gr A bel.
