This dissertation is concerned with phonetic evidence for word boundaries in Contemporary Standard Russian. The primary question motivating this research is whether words can be identified on the phonetic surface in Russian. The research draws upon a large body of literature documenting acoustic and articulatory variation associated with the edges of prosodic domains (e.g. syllables, words, and phrases), and is intended to address questions regarding the prosodic organization within an assumed "small phrase" in Russian. Accordingly, a series of experiments was performed using original speech data (collected by the author) to investigate the effect of word boundaries on the acoustic realization of selected speech segments. These experiments consistently revealed two patterns.

520 $a This dissertation is concerned with phonetic evidence for word boundaries in Contemporary Standard Russian. The primary question motivating this research is whether words can be identified on the phonetic surface in Russian. The research draws upon a large body of literature documenting acoustic and articulatory variation associated with the edges of prosodic domains (e.g. syllables, words, and phrases), and is intended to address questions regarding the prosodic organization within an assumed "small phrase" in Russian. Accordingly, a series of experiments was performed using original speech data (collected by the author) to investigate the effect of word boundaries on the acoustic realization of selected speech segments. These experiments consistently revealed two patterns.
520 $a First, word-initial segments are characterized by acoustic variation that is consistent with phonetic strengthening associated with initial position in prosodic domains. Second, word boundaries block stress-related lengthening in syllables to the left of stressed vowels, which affects segments within the same word. Therefore the data analyzed for this dissertation provide strong evidence that word boundaries are appraisable on the phonetic surface of Russian.
520 $a The main implication of this research is that word boundaries are not obliterated within the boundaries of larger prosodic constituents in Russian but play a role in prosodic phrasing. In particular, prosodic words in Russian appear to be shaped in the following manner. First, segments preceding the stressed vowel are "bound" to that stress peak via the spread of stress-related lengthening to the left. Since stress-related lengthening is only evident in preceding segments within word and not in segments across word boundaries, the limits of stress-related lengthening largely define the limits of words. Second, Russian words also appear to be organized into "units" via phonetically defined edges. Word-initial segments were shown to exhibit phonetic strengthening and thus the left edge of words is marked with special word-initial allophones. The combination of stress-related and edge-related strengthening results in a phonetically prominent "initial part of the word" which may carry valuable information for the listener as to the location of word boundaries.
