The present study examines the manifestation of some functional substitution processes occurring with the French vowels [e], [ɛ] and with the Bulgarian vowel [e] in the oral practice of the French and Bulgarian languages. The aim of the research is not only to describe the observed processes, but also to establish the substitutes of the vowels under discussion, the phonetic factors determining the substitution course and the pronunciation tendency it leads to in both languages
