Abstract:
This article depicts the phonetic features of spontaneous colloquial speech in English
and Kazakh languages of youth living in the city of Nur-Sultan. The analysis was
carried out on the basis of audio recordings of speech in English and Kazakh
languages of young people aged 18 to 35 years of different social backgrounds. The
study revealed the most striking features of youth speech in English and Kazakh
languages in phonetic aspects. Among the phonetic features of speech, other language
inclusions were noted, which is natural in the conditions of bilingualism, where
switching codes in the process of spontaneous speech comes naturally.
At the same time, in connection with the increasing modern fashion breezing of the
Kazakh society, the use of words with new trends in English significance is observed.
In the phonetic aspect, signs of progressive-regressive and progressive assimilation
are revealed. It is also noteworthy that, according to the pronunciation of youth
representatives, we can determine the regional affiliation of the speakers. The results
of this work can find their practical application in teaching a course on the culture of
speech, practical phonetics, while audio materials can also serve as the basis for
creating the sound corpus of modern linguistics.
