The aim of the present phonetic experiment research is to identify phonetic features of interference by establishing patterns of generation of the interfered phonetic system of Slovak bilingual’s English speech and features identification of national and individual character with peculiar pronounced accent in interfered English speech. The choice of the Slovak ethnic sociolinguistic system is proved by the fact that Slovak language is currently being under formation because of political processes and, conseuently, is more dynamic. Independent development of the Slovak language in independent Slovakia is primarily characterized by weakening the dominant status of Czech assimilation and the increasing inuence of English language as a global one. In terms of multiethnic area of Slovakia English language has special multifunctional status because it is not only an international or global language, but also a means of international communication, self expression and world exploration. The analysis of current language processes in Slovakia, the identification of new empirical data on the form and nature of the interaction between the Slovak and English languages t oday represents a considerable interest as broadening the boundaries of theoretical and practical knowledge in this field helps to understand the meaning of the phenomenon of bilingualism. The basis of the material under analysis consists of audio recorded excerpts of contemporary British literature from 2012 to 2015 read by the native citizens of Great Britain (Standard British English) and Slovak bilinguals, who migrated to Great Britain from ’80s till 2010 (interfered English speech). The stages of phonetic experiment research conduction are revised. The tasks for auditor informants and auditor phoneticians are defined. The prosodic parameters which were under analysis during acoustic research are stated as well.
