Speaking tongue is a serious problem that makes it difficult to reproduce speech. This is an outdated common word, which is customary to characterize pronunciation defects.
What it is?
Tongue-speaking is a lack of speech, which manifests itself in the incorrect pronunciation of individual sounds. With an extreme degree of development of human pathology, it is almost impossible to understand. Speech becomes illegible, like babble. With moderate development, the defect, of course, creates a shade unpleasant for the hearing, but the speech is quite understandable.
Forms of tongue-tied tongue
Speaking tongue is an unpleasant problem. There are several common forms of this defect:
- Monoform tongue-tied - a problem with the pronunciation of one or more letters from the category of hissing and whistling.
- Polyformal tongue-tied - a problem with the pronunciation of several letters at once from the most diverse groups.
- Physiological tongue-tied tongue is observed in children under the age of 5 years and is associated with an insufficient degree of development of the speech apparatus. With age, the problem usually goes away on its own.
- The functional form is characterized by the absence of disturbances in the speech apparatus. Speech defects are caused by problems with the central nervous system, hearing aid, and articulation.
- The organic form is a consequence of exposure to congenital, genetic, or acquired defects in articulation.
Common causes
In order to effectively deal with the problem of tongue-tied tongue, it is important to understand what causes it. Here are the most common factors:
- prolonged chronic diseases (for example, colds or digestive disorders), which lead to neurological and physical weakening of the body;
- pedagogical neglect, when parents do not pay due attention to the correct pronunciation of certain sounds by the child and do not try to demonstrate a positive example;
- multilingual family when, for example, the father speaks Russian and the mother speaks Italian (in this case, the child accumulates different phonetic norms in his speech);
- imitation of a person who is a pattern of incorrect speech (it can be a parent, teacher, senior comrade or any other individual with whom the child often contacts);
- impaired phonemic hearing;
- incorrect structure of the tongue, gums, teeth and other elements of the speech apparatus;
- hereditary factors that are transmitted from generation to generation (crooked or rare teeth, jaw extended forward, and other defects);
- congenital disorders that were formed during fetal development;
- acquired defects that could arise due to injuries sustained throughout life.
Tongues: how to get rid?
Defects cause a lot of problems to the person himself, as well as to others who cannot accurately perceive the information or are annoyed by incorrect pronunciation. The correction method is determined in accordance with the causes of the problem. In any case, the probability of a favorable outcome is much higher in childhood.
In the case when tongue-tied - this is a consequence of incorrect speech education, a defect will help to correct classes with a speech therapist. But if the problem lies in the structure of the speech apparatus, special prostheses (orthodontic locks) can be used. In the most severe cases, surgery is performed.
Tongue-speaking: synonyms
As mentioned earlier, the word "tongue-tied" refers to common expressions. In medical practice, this term sounds like "dyslalia." Nevertheless, in everyday communication you can still hear a whole series of vernacular words that are synonymous with the concept in question. These are illegibility, indistinctness, slurredness, slurredness, lack of language and other words that illustrate the problems of pronunciation.
Conclusion
It is worth noting that tongue-tied tongue is common to all children without age 5 years old who are just learning to speak. If, over time, the defect does not disappear, then this is the reason for immediately contacting a specialist. In most cases, the problem is solved with a speech therapist. But if the reason lies in the incorrect physiological structure of the speech apparatus, more serious measures may be necessary, up to surgical intervention.
