Abstract: For the study of vowel spectra in spontaneous speech, we used a dialogue of two educated speakers. The data were compared 1) to laboratory sentences pronouced by the same speaker, 2) to reference data. Both hypotheses - 1) there is more centralization in spontaneous speech, 2) laboratory sentences are closer to the reference values - were confirmed. The influence of stress turned out to be inconsiderable, but the difference of length is significant. The differences are also due to regional background.
