description The paper presents the results of analysis of free phonemic variation in word phonemic structures in RP as its striking feature. Alternative pronunciation variants of words are created by vowels, consonants, and a combination of both when in free variation in a segmental composition of words. Free phonemic variation is conditioned by the position / phonetic environment of the alternating phoneme(s) in a word. The positional specification of free phonemic variation and the operation of a number of other factors substantiate the inner systemic character of free phoneme variation in the composition of English words in PR. EFL learners should be aware of existing alternative variants of words and their liability for change in the course of time. In dem Beitrag werden die Ergebnisse einer Analyse der freien phonemischen Variation in phone-mischen Wortstrukturen in RP als auffälliges Merkmal präsentiert. Alternative Aussprachevarianten von Wörtern werden durch Vokale, Konsonanten und eine Kombination von beiden erzeugt, wenn sie in einer segmentalen Zusammensetzung von Wörtern frei variieren. Freie phonemische Variation wird durch die Position / phonetische Umgebung des alternierenden Phonems / der alternierenden Phoneme in einem Wort bestimmt. Die Positionsangabe der freien phonemischen Variation und die Wirkung einer Reihe anderer Faktoren untermauern den inneren systemischen Charakter der freien Phonemvariation bei der Zusammensetzung der englischen Wörter in der PR. EFL-Lernende sollten sich der vorhandenen alternativen Wortvarianten und ihrer Anfälligkeit für Änderungen im Laufe der Zeit bewusst sein.
