People do not hesitate to give others ratings. Often an unflattering characteristic states a particular feature, it is called upon to indicate a deficiency and to correct itself. Or is an ordinary insult. But if someone said that your speech is tongue-tied, is this one of the options? Do not pay attention to the ill-wisher or listen to his advice and try to become a little better? It's all about the context!
Speech defects
The Russian people are very penetrating when introducing new definitions. The word under investigation was born out of two seemingly incomparable:
The person’s mouth is very mobile muscle, which allows you to feel the taste, push food or mimic some sound. But if the muscle stiffens, you cannot completely control it - this is a “tongue-tied” situation. People made a direct analogy and combined all the diseases and defects that interfere with the proper formation of sounds, cause them to skip or replace:
This list includes a huge number of manifestations, because of which children are often teased in schools. And only speech therapists are able to save from an unpleasant situation! Here are just some of the words that mean "tongue-tied" in the understanding of the layman:
burry;
lisping;
nasal;
stuttering, etc.
As a medical term, they prefer to use the option “dyslalia”, which sounds harmonious and does not create negative associations.
Defects of thought
By a good tradition, the definition quickly acquired a figurative meaning and now applies to absolutely any person. In what situation can this be observed ? Speech-language speech occurs during official meetings, in everyday life and in writing. Usually occurs when there is great excitement, when the speaker tries to pick up beautiful words or cannot catch the thought, because of which he gives out an incoherent stream of fragmentary information and interjections.
It's not about stupidity! Smart, even brilliant citizens can be bad speakers. Excessive embarrassment or the desire to say more than the regulations allow, make you rush. And the sense of what has been said simply does not reach others. Fortunately for contemporaries, they came up with special prompters, and text editors help quickly eliminate the slightest mistake.
Education defects
Use a word addressed to someone close? In some cases, when speech on medical indicators is tongue-tied, this is a rather polite option so as not to injure with reminders of school name-calling. Also, the term is acceptable in official communication, if it is necessary to indicate the insufficient qualification of the interlocutor as a speaker. But it’s better to avoid this definition.
