metadata.value: This study quantifies all possible vowel and some consonant contractions that occur within word
  boundaries. It is based on data from spontaneous and read-aloud Russian. The data for word-external
  contractions are compared with the data for the word-internal ones. External word-external contractions
  evoke fading of word boundaries that can lead to speech segmentation problems. Patterns of
  contraction formation and possible marks of contractions, contraction markers are investigated. The
  results reveal no strict rules to predict contractions. Duration of consonants was not proved to be a
  reliable feature that a listener could use in the process of recognition. Stress, on the other hand, seems
  to play a significant role for vowels: unstressed vowels are more likely to contract easier than stressed
  ones involved in contracted forms. Refs 17. Figs 4. Tables 4.
