The Organs of Speech and their
work
«Do you speak English?» — this
is the expression most often heard from people from different
countries who are trying to find a "common" language. And when an
affirmative "Yes" sounds in response, active communication begins
between strangers.
Areas and directions in the
world in which English is the only language for
communication:
The world of Science —
scientific conferences and discussion of global world problems,
exchange of experience and important scientific information,
writing scientific papers and papers;
Sphere of sports — all
international sports competitions (Olympic Games, international
starts, championships);
Travel - it is impossible to
know the languages of all countries and peoples, but it is enough
to know English to travel around the world without problems and
communicate with representatives of other
peoples;
Getting a job - knowledge of
English will help you get the desired position in a large foreign
company in any country faster and easier;
The field of education is to
get a prestigious education in the best educational institutions in
Europe and America.
The field of cinema and
literature - English makes it easier to watch movies and read
classical literature in the original.
Everyone is interested in
something, and it is quite problematic to engage in your hobby and
share your experience with the whole world without knowing English.
Knowing the language of diplomats, you can enjoy the works of your
favorite performers and clearly understand what the performer is
singing about, and what emotions he is trying to convey to his
fans.
During the scientific and
practical conference of students in 2015, the following data were
mentioned:
Almost 300 million Chinese
study English (comparable to the US
population);
In Japan, secondary school
students have been learning English for 6
years;
In France, secondary school
students are required to study foreign languages (German or English
to choose from). Almost 85% of students prefer learning
English;
In 90 countries of the world,
English is the second state language, or is widely
studied.
In Sweden, Norway and Denmark,
English is a must to learn.
And another interesting fact
about the relevance of the English language in the modern world.
Among all European countries, excluding Great Britain and Ireland,
the Netherlands ranks first in the number of people who speak
English perfectly. In Portugal, students are offered a choice of
learning English or French, and more and more students choose the
former [9].
To classify the most commonly
used Anglicisms in the speech of modern teenagers, we compiled a
questionnaire "English around us" and conducted a survey of
students in grades 8-11 and teachers of our
school.
The analysis data allowed us
to draw up a diagram of the use of Anglicisms in various spheres of
life. The largest amount of borrowed vocabulary is related to the
Internet (22%) and sports (21%). Household appliances and
expressions used in everyday life accounted for 15% of all
borrowings. Approximately the same number are words denoting
professions (11%), as well as products and household goods (12%).
The smallest number of words are related to clothing
(4%).
The
analysis of questionnaires
showed that in everyday life students use the
following words and
expressions:
3.2 The Organs of Speech and
their work.
In any language people speak
(if they have no physical defects) using their organs of speech
(Pic 1.)
Picture

The air stream released by the
lungs goes through the windpipe and comes to the larynx, which
contains the vocal cords. The vocal cords are two elastic folds
which may be kept apart or brought together. The opening between
them is called the g l o t t i s. this is the usual state of the
vocal cords, when we breathe out. You will feel the vibration of
the vocal cords and hear voice.
The most important organ of
speech is the t o n g u e. phoneticians divide the tongue into four
sections, the part which lies opposite the soft palate is called
the f r o n t; the one lying under the teeth ridge is known as the
b l a d e and its extremity the t i p.
All the organs of speech can
be divided into two groups:
-
A c t i v e organs of speech,
movable and taking an active part in the sound formation: a) the
vocal cords which produce voice; b) the tongue which is the most
flexible, movable organ; c) the lips affecting very considerably
the shape of the mouth cavity; d) the soft palate with the uvula,
directing the stream of air either to the mouth or to the nasal
cavity; e) the back wall of the pharynx contracted for some sounds;
f) the lower jaw which movement controls the gap between the teeth
and also the disposition of the lips; g) the lungs providing air
for sounds;
-
P a s s i v e organs of
speech: a) the teeth; b) the teeth ridge; c) the hard palate; d)
the walls of the resonators. (Pic. 2)

This exercise is meant to
develop the ability to obtain the volume of the voice without
raising its pitch. Continue moving back and doing the exercise till
you stand with your back against the wall. (Pic.
