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.
Opisano trzy zjawiska związane z położeniem języka w przestrzeni jamy ustnej: w spoczynku oraz podczas tworzenia wypowiedzi – w trakcie mówienia i w trakcie pojawiających się pauz. Wskazano powiązania opisanych zjawisk z fizjologicznymi prymarnymi czynnościami kompleksu orofacjalnego. Szczególną uwagę skierowano na zjawisko podparcia językowego, dotychczas nieopisywane w polskiej literaturze przedmiotu. W tym kontekście zamieszczono także wyniki badania instrumentalnego, dotyczącego języka polskiego.
