The current study investigates a relationship between the ease of perception of a feature of secondary palatalization in Russian and a speech condition (casual and hyperarticulated). Forty-one L1 American English speakers - the students of the Russian program at The University of Mississippi - took part in two experiments. In addition, the research aimed to explore the influence of a hyperarticulated speech condition on a level of language proficiency of students (beginner or intermediate) and investigate whether students of a certain level benefit from hyperarticulation more. The results of two experiments showed that none of the groups of students benefited from hyperarticulation while perceiving a palatalized/unpalatalized consonant contrast. Moreover, the research provided the proof that hyperarticulation has no significant effect on perception of secondary palatalization in the Russian language.In addition, the current research aimed to create a hierarchy of difficulty for perception of palatalized consonants in Russian. I found that sonorants were easier to perceive than obstruents, thus, the accurate perception of secondary palatalization in Russian is somehow related to sonority, which complements the hypothesis of Hacking (2011), who claimed that production of Russian palatalized consonants is linked to sonority as well. Another theory that is tested in the current research is the 'listening by cue' hypothesis by Kochetov (2006). He stated that preceding vowels provide acoustic cues for the perception of phonetic features. I tested and expanded Kochetov's theory by adding more vowels to my research. He tested only three vowels; I tested all six vowels of the Russian language for my research. My study proved his hypothesis and I created a hierarchy of the Russian vowels according to their potential to create acoustic cues for the perception of consonants that follow them.
