Abstract

This article focuses on the analysis of pronunciation transfer in the acquisition of the Russian language by Chinese students. The research examines the phonemes and syllables of both Russian and the Southeastern Chinese dialects. In this study, we investigate the general pronunciation biases in Russian and the related pronunciation issues among students from Southeast China, while also compiling relevant information
and data on Russian phonology and the phonology of Southeastern Chinese dialects. Using these data, we conduct comparative analyses to uncover pronunciation transfer and the causes of pronunciation biases influenced by the native language of Chinese students. The study concludes that many negative transfers occur in the Russian pronunciation of students from Southeast China, particularly regarding the pronunciation of consonant phonemes and syllables. However, some individual positive transfers also exist...
