Слог является единицей сегмента фонемов (гласные и согласные), созданный в синтагматике на основе внутрисистемного закона конкретного языка. <...> В статье разъясняется понятия фонетический и фонологический слог. <...> Фонологический слог плотно связан с исследованием в конкретном языке фонотактических правил. <...> Ключевые слова: комбинаторный, синтагматика, парадигматика, фонологическая система, слог SYLLABLE STRUCTURE AS AN OBJECT OF SYNTAGMATIC RESEARCHES The article is dedicated to study of syllable – a segmental language unit. <...> In the article it is noted that status of the syllable is subject of dispute. <...> A syllable is a segmental unit formed by phonemes (vowel and consonant) based on intrasystemic rules of a certain language in syntagmatics. <...> It is indicated that phonotactics studies syntagmatic relations of phonemein speech act. <...> The article clarifies concepts like phonetic and phonological. <...> Phonetic characteristics of syllable are that it is the minimal pronunciation unit and minimal perception tool. <...> Phonological syllable is closely related to investigation of rules of phonotactics in a certain language. <...> Status of the syllable draws attention with its indefinite nature among other segmental units of language terms of phonological theory. <...> Despite the fact that in linguistic sources the investigation of the syllable, «the smallest pronunciation unit» as it was defined by L.R.Zinder [1, p. 251], has an old history, the matter of its status and boundary is still remaining as a subject of dispute. <...> As K. Pike notes, «the ambiguity» of the investigation status of the syllable items from its imprecise function as a language unit. <...> For instance, descriptivist deny the concept of syllable, as it is simpler to present morpheme as a sequence of phonemes without addressing the syllable as an intermediate unit [2,p. 48]. <...> In the languages with syllabic structure (most of the languages of the world belong to this language structure) a syllable can contain two morphemes or a morpheme can contain two syllables. <...> In the languages of this type syllable and syllabification is not related to the meaning, and according to L.R.Zinder «the syllable does not act as a phonological unit» [1, p. 251]. <...> Notable Germanist M.V.Gordina also characterizes syllable as «an indivisible speech section, the minimal line of which is indivisible in articulator setting» [3, p. 113]. <...> F.
