SUMMARY

The aim of this work is to mark the most significant stages of experimental phonetics development in Ukraine. The researches in phonetics in Ukraine was intended to meet the needs of the society: mastering a foreign language where adequate pronunciation contributes to successful communication. This urgency determined the necessity of theoretical studies of phonetic structure of a foreign language in comparison with the mother tongue, caused the necessity of systematic comparative scientific investigations of phonetic structure of the languages under investigation. At the beginning of the 20th century the phonetic investigations in Ukraine were based on examining the speech sounds articulation using the experimental methods of palatograms, linguagrams and photography; the purpose was to obtain a detailed and exact data of position of the speech organs when producing speech sounds. The first laboratory of experimental phonetics was organised by A. I. Tomson, a professor of Odessa University in 1912. A very important period of linguistic research of sounding speech took place in Ukraine in 1950s–60s. The laboratories of experimental phonetics were organized in Odesa and Kyiv (Shevchenko Kiev National University, at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Odessa National University). Nowadays global Internet communication is one of primary social needs and thus the quality of oral messages is to meet the requirement. Despite the presence of a certain range of problems, the development of computer technologies in human activities makes a significant contribution to the process of oral speech generating and analysis.


Key words: experimental phonetics, methods and techniques, oral communication.
