This study is based on the analysis of tri-syllables in initial, medial and final position of statements. For each syllable of the tri-syllables the set of pitch parameters was calculated, as well as F0 inter-syllable intervals. In FA pitch parameters reach maximum values on first syllables and in RA – on second ones. FA and RA more differ in initial than medial position and tend to neutralization in final position. In initial and medial position Russian speakers realize a “type of accent” that is similar to Serbian RA and in final position a “type of accent” that similar to Serbian FA.
