Abstract. The purpose of the article is the attempt to solve the concrete morphonology problem - to reveal the dependence of the degree of the reduction of the vowel / ? / on the position of this vowel in this or that morpheme or a word. It is concluded that there is a certain relation between the incorporation of the sound being researched in the primitive preposition and the degree of reduction of this sound. Allophones / ? / of the second degree of reduction in primitive prepositions tend to be realized as the allophones of a vowel of bottom or bottom-middle rise of a none-front line.
