From «Jazz» and «Rap» to «Dzhaz» and «Rep» : Phonological Adaptation of English Loanwords in Russian (Sounds - Meaning - Communication 15) (2022. 286 S. 93 Abb. 210 mm)

The book provides a significant insight into the complex process of English loanword adaptation in Russian. It is based on an in-depth analysis and comparison of a rich body of experimental data on the adaptation of both established and online loans of those English sounds absent from Russian phonemic inventory. The analysis is couched within the Optimality-Theoretic framework. The uncovered patterns offer valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on loanword phonology.
