The report is devoted to the problem of phonemic differentiation within the correlative pairs of English vowels. The experimental data obtained demonstrate their stability in the English vocalic system. Special emphasis is laid on the role of the compound qualitative-quantitative feature ‘length-tenseness’ in insuring perceptible discrimination and the phonemic status of the phonetically similar vowels within the correlative pair.
