Summary/Abstract: The article examines the definite forms of feminine nouns ending in a consonant and their pronunciation. The author aims at establishing to what extent native speakers of Bulgarian perceive as incorrect the pronunciation of the vowel sound of the stressed definite article morpheme as -ъ (e. g, [обичтъ], [есентъ]) in comparison with the standard pronunciation. The analysis is based on empirical data obtained through a non-representative study employing the method of listening to a short text.
