For any student, linguist, or language enthusiast serious about mastering the sounds of Russian, Russian Pronunciation stands as an authoritative and methodical guide to one of the most phonetically demanding languages in the world. Written by S. C. Boyanus — formerly Professor of English Philology at the Leningrad Institute of Philology, Keeper of the Russian Literary Museum, and Lecturer in Russian and Phonetics at the University of London — this two-volume work presents the Russian system of speech habits across its four pillars: sounds, stress, rhythm, and intonation, supplemented by a full Russian Phonetic Reader designed to put theory immediately into practice. Boyanus writes with the precision of a trained phonetician and the pedagogical clarity of a seasoned language teacher, making complex articulatory concepts accessible without sacrificing academic rigour. The work occupies a significant place in the canon of Slavic language instruction, bridging the gap between descriptive linguistics and practical spoken fluency. Whether you are approaching Russian for the first time or refining an already advanced command of the language, this volume raises a compelling question: how much of what we call fluency is, in fact, mastery of sound?
