Abstract: The main objective of this study was to assess the perceptual degree of semantic information in conditions of speech variability (conversational style / reading) when presenting English-language material. It was assumed that the reaction time to stimuli with a high frequency-semantic coefficient, pronounced in a clear speech register (reading), should be higher in the group with a more professional level than in the group at the initial level of language training, when contrasting experimental stimuli with low-frequency semantic units pronounced in a conversational style. The results showed selective activation of single stimuli when making a lexical decision in both experimental groups in each of the presented experimental conditions. The data from both language groups did not show a general semantic effect and the influence of speech style on the perception of experimental units, regardless of the level of language competence. The revealed semantic effect of exclusively high-frequency units indicates an internal frequency-rating organization of the presented experimental stimuli. The effect of semantic priming occurs on the material of the most recognizable phrases and indicates the absence of a direct relationship with the level of professionalism of the experiment participants.
