T. A. Brovchenko investigated phonetic systems of
English and Ukrainian languages.
A list of the most typical mistakes of Ukrainians learning
English and the methods of avoiding them was presented.
The scientist also analysed the intonation structure of
English and Ukrainian utterances in dependence on the
position of the semantic centre and revealed common
acoustic characteristics of the intonation structure of the
utterances with different positions of the semantic centre
and those specific in each of the analysed languages.
T. A. Brovchenko and T. M. Koroljeva analyzed the
phonetic structure and functions of modal utterances in
English and Ukrainian speech and determined intonation
peculiarities of the main types of modal utterances and
their variants.

Ukrainian languages and their interrelations in the
North American countries. The linguist investigated
the discrimination between contrastive and
