While the retroflexion of Polish sibilants is not a newly discovered feature, it is nevertheless not yet very popular in the Polish-language literature. The purpose of this article is to provide detailed articulatory evidence for the retroflex character of Polish consonants [ʂ ʐ ʈ͡ʂ ɖ͡ʐ]. A new aspect of this approach is the use of instrumental techniques based on electromagnetic articulography, which has been used in a historically largest group of carefully selected speakers. The articulatory features of Polish retroflex sibilants were distinguished. Those features also represent the classification criteria of this group of consonants. The analysis of articulatory data made it possible to describe the articulatory characteristics of Polish retroflex sibilants present in the majority of the realisations, such as apicality, (post)alveolarity, the presence of the sublingual cavity and tongue retraction.

This paper presents the results of studies to determine the influence of biological factors on speech development. The studies conducted among children aged 5 to 7 concern the correlation between the myofunctional and occlusal disorders and articulation. The presented studies confirm that there is a relationship between the occurrence of myofunctional and occlusal disorders and abnormal articulation, particularly its distorted realizations. This correlation is the strongest in complex oral (orofacial) motor disorders. Moreover, it is demonstrated that in the majority of children with malocclusion abnormal articulation can be observed.

The tongue in the oral cavity can be defined in various contexts. Three of its activities are described in this article: resting position, inter-speech posture and tongue bracing and their relations to the primary functions of the orofacial complex are indicated. The tongue bracing was a special subject due to the fact that it has not yet been described in the Polish linguistics literature. The results of the study concerning Polish speech with the use of the instrumental method were also included.

This paper presents the results of the authors’ research concerning the suitability of candidates for speech therapy university studies and their prospective work as speech and language therapeutists (SLTs). This profession poses special requirements for candidates for speech therapists who work with children with various speech impediments and, therefore, must offer them a model of articulation to follow. Therefore, it is necessary to perform an evaluation of the physical capacity of the candidates for the profession of SLT before they start university studies in speech development. Such initial evaluation of the candidates is indispensable because it demonstrates their physical ability to acquire relevant skills and practice mandatory to possess by future SLTs. The material studied consisted of 60 subjects, mostly women between the ages of 18 and 24 from north-eastern Poland. The paper discusses anatomical defects frequently observed in the investigated subjects within the vocal tract and in the craniofacial region, as well as speech defects and their connection with articulation disorders and occlusion. It was found that only 26% of the candidates did not present any clinical and/or articulation deviations, while 74% of applicants for logopedics university training were found to have anatomical or articulatory defects. One person had phoniatric problems in the form of discrete hoarseness of the voice, but they do not constitute a contraindication for admission to study speech therapy and prospective practice of the SLT profession. Therefore, the authors emphasize that restricting the examination only to the phoniatric evaluation (obligatory for applicants for speech therapy university studies in Poland) is insufficient, because it does not include the correctness or accuracy of the bite or articulation. As has been demonstrated in our study, such problems subsequently lead to disqualifying the candidates from the SLT profession. Only a comprehensive phoniatric-orthodontic-speech therapy assessment that takes into account both the visual and auditory perceptive aspects of voice as well as individual speech sounds and their clusters can allow a meaningful assessment of the presence or absence of contraindications to practice as a speech and language therapist.

The aim of the paper is to introduce electropalatography (EPG) as a method of investigating speech production to the Czech linguistic public. Its application was demonstrated on the Czech palatal plosives [c] and [J–]. The results show that the linguopalatal contact in these speech sounds is primarily coronal, with the blade of the tongue touching the front part of the artificial palate, as well as lateral, with the tongue dorsum touching the sides of the palate. Apart from revealing interesting idiosyncratic tendencies, the results also indicate different patterns depending on the voicing of the plosive.

What makes human voice unique among other instruments is the fact, that it is a live instrument which, as the only one, produces articulated tones. Among every all articulated organs which are responsible for that phenomenon velum draws the highest attention. It is the moving and articulating organ situated in the oral cavity. Good condition of the organ provides better articulation and resonance, elimination of rhinolalia and development of diapason for the vocalist. These elements are the quintessence of vocal technique. Belittling Underestimating velum’s efficiency leads to many irregularities and faults excluding proper voice projection in the above named aspects.

The first part of the paper proposes a method of studying (or, more precisely, of recognizing) oral vowels, using the so-called relative formant frequencies. First, we describe the traditional method of acoustic study of oral vowels, together with its limitations. Next, we introduce the assumptions of the proposed method where, unlike in the traditional approach, a set of mixed models is used. The comparison, instead of being reduced to establishing whether two sets of vowels match, requires a distance to be calculated between each vowel and each model. The paper introduces the notion of relative formant frequency (denoted f') which was used in the comparisons to minimize the impact of individual articulatory variation on the outcome of the analysis. It was de!ned as the proportion between, on the one hand, the difference between the absolute frequency of the given formant, and its minimal value observed in actual pronunciations, and on the other hand, the difference between the minimal and the maximal frequency of the formant, as observed in pronunciations. In order to establish the f' of model vowels, we used the cardinal vowels pronounced by several British phoneticians (including Daniel Jones).

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki przeprowadzonego przez autorki badania przydatności kandydatów na studia logopedyczne do wykonywania zawodu logopedy. Materiał badawczy pobrano od 60 osób, głównie kobiet w wieku od 18 do 24 lat pochodzących z północno-wschodniej Polski. Omówiono najczęściej stwierdzane u badanych wady anatomiczne w obrębie drogi głosowej, zaburzenia głosu, wady wymowy oraz powiązania pomiędzy zaburzeniami artykulacji i okluzji. Wskazano, że zaledwie 26% pacjentów to osoby bez jakichkolwiek zmian klinicznych i artykulacyjnych. U 74% kandydatów na studia logopedyczne zdiagnozowano wady anatomiczne i/lub wymowy, przy czym tylko jedna osoba miała problemy natury foniatrycznej w postaci lekkiej chrypki oraz zmianę barwy głosu, co jednak nie stanowiło przeciwskazania do uprawiania zawodu logopedy. W związku z tym podkreślono, że sama konsultacja foniatryczna, na którą kieruje się kandydatów na studia logopedyczne celem ustalenia obecności lub braku przeciwskazań do wykonywania zawodu logopedy, jest niewystarczająca, gdyż podczas rutynowych badań foniatrycznych lekarze specjaliści koncentrują się na badaniu krtani, nie badają natomiast ani prawidłowości zgryzu, ani poprawności artykulacji, co, jak wykazano w niniejszej pracy, stanowi rzeczywisty problem kandydatów na studia logopedyczne dyskwalifikujący ich z zawodu. Tylko całościowe badanie foniatryczno-ortodontyczno-logopedyczne, uwzględniające zarówno aspekt wizualny, jak i audytywny wymowy głosek i ich połączeń, pozwala na miarodajną ocenę istnienia lub braku przeciwskazań medycznych do wykonywania zawodu logopedy.

Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is very common in childhood. Obstruction of the nasopharyngeal airway may cause obligatory oral breathing, chronic open-mouth posture, incorrect inferior or anterior-inferior position of the tongue, disordered swallowing and impaired facial growth. Facial growth disorders frequently result in onset of the specific types of malocclusion and specific speech disorders. Obstruction of the pharynx during sleep by adenotonsillar hypertrophy remains the main cause of sleep apnea syndrome in children. Obstruction of the upper airway by the enlarged adenoid and/or hypertrophic tonsils may lead to hyponasality of the voice and/or cul-de-sac resonance. Malocclusions, in turn, in association with the incorrect tongue positioning in the oral cavity give rise to the disordered articulation of anterior consonants.

The second part of the paper consists of a list of relative formant frequencies of model vowels (the method of calculation was discussed in the first part). In this part, a test of the proposed method is designed using several new devices, such as the articulatory difference between vowels (expressed both as an integer and as a percentage), and the percentage distance between the analysed vowels and the particular model. In addition, a few simple statistics such as median, mode and arithmetic mean are used. The test itself consists of recognizing new vowels as pronounced by three different phoneticians. The calculations lead to the conclusion that recognition of vowels carried out with the use of the proposed method produces very accurate results which, most importantly, do not deviate in most instances from the expected values (the difference between the recognized vowel and the vowel described by the speaker did not exceed 40%). In conclusion, this part of the paper describes the advantages and limitations of the proposed method, and suggests possible solutions which may help improve the results in the future.

The studies of Jacques Delille’s work put an emphasis on the relations between a group of poetic texts (L’homme des champs, L’Imagination, Les Trois Règnes de la nature) and their scientific intertexts. The aim of this paper is to study the scientific connotations of lesser known poems, stressing the problem of the physiological and anatomical reflections on the human voice and the speech. Is there a relation between Delille’s observations on the voice (La Pitié, p. 40, 151-152 ; La Conversation, p. 141-142, 146-147) and the terminology used by physicians or philosophers of his time? What is the impact of Rousseau’s Essai sur l’origine des langues on Delille? Is it inspiring to use the medical distinction between the physiology and the pathology to understand Delilles’s conception of the human voice?

This article is concerned with careless pronunciation of journalists reading news during a news program at major commercial television stations. The clarity of pronunciation and voice timbre constitutes a part of a journalistic technique. Caring for the correct technique of speech, as well as the clarity of pronunciation is an essential part of working in the media industry. The major problem for journalists is the reading speed. It infl uences a series of tensions arising, among others, in the work of temporomandibular joint. In turn, these tensions induce changes in voice timbre. Namely, it acquires a nasal tone. Muscles of mastication’s dysfunctions are also the cause of changes in the vowel articulation, which leads to the misunderstanding of the speech delivered by journalists.

Artykuł jest poświęcony wyjaśnieniu przyczyn niestarannej wymowy dziennikarzy czytających serwisy informacyjne w głównych stacjach telewizyjnych. Wyrazistość mówienia oraz czystość brzmienia głosu należą do warsztatu dziennikarskiego. Dbanie o poprawną technikę mówienia oraz czystość wymowy stanowi ważny element pracy w mediach. Dużym problemem, z którym borykają się dziennikarze, jest tempo czytania. Wpływa ono na napięcia pojawiające się między innymi w pracy stawu skroniowo-żuchwowego, które powodują zmiany w brzmieniu – głos nabiera nosowej barwy. Dysfunkcje mięśni żwaczowych są także przyczyną zmian w artykulacji samogłosek, prowadząc do niezrozumienia przekazywanych treści.

This paper discusses the definitions of the glottal stop encountered in the literature. The term glottal stop appears in many works in the field of linguistics (or, more precisely, phonetics and phonology), phoniatrics, voice emission and speech therapy. However, this term may be understood in various ways. Generally speaking, in speech therapy, a glottal stop is defined, for example, as: 1. a form of phonation; 2. a type of pseudo articulation. In phonetics the term is referred to as: 1. a form of voicing initiation; 2. a type of articulation; 3. both the type of articulation and the type of phonation. In the light of the definitions quoted in this work, the answer to the question posed in the title of this paper is neither simple nor clear.
