Sonorant consonants in Russian language

To begin, it is important to note what resonant consonants in Russian language.It sounds that are pronounced by voice, almost no noise.These include [l], [m], [p] [l '], [M], [p'], [j].

Features sonorous consonants

They are unique in that they are similar as in vowels, and the consonants.From bell sounds distinguishes them is that when they are pronounced, the noise is almost inaudible.They do not have a pair of deaf or sonorous sounds.That is why the resonant consonants never uttered muffled or end of a word or before voiceless consonant.A perfect example would be the word of the lamp, where [m] pronounced loudly to a deaf [n].Noisy unvoiced consonants are not pronounced loudly in front of similar sounds, as it happens, for example, in the word of the request, which we pronounce as [proz'ba].However, you should not treat resonant sounds to the vowel.Still, while they sound in the mouth there is a barrier.So there is noise, but this is not characteristic of vowels.Also, these sounds have another important characteristic which determines the vowels.Because they do not form a syllable.It should be noted that it is typical for the Russian language, t. To. For example, in the Czech resonant sounds have such features.These sounds can be either solid and soft, have different methods of forming.

How sound is produced [l]?

In order to get the right sound, the tip of the tongue must be behind the upper front teeth.And if he does not reach the designated place, it distorts the sound and leaves instead of the boat - "uodka."If the sound is soft items, the language should be pressed to the alveoli.It happens so that the solid sound [l] is quite difficult to fix.Then you can try to clamp between the teeth and tongue to pronounce the sound.However, such action can only be performed during training.Thus, we see that not all the resonant consonants in Russian language amenable to correction.

needed exercise for the correct pronunciation of sonorous consonants

Many people are absolutely convinced that the exercise to correct the pronunciation of individual sounds have no meaning.They are convinced that this method is not effective at all.Simple enough to understand the principle of how to correctly pronounce the consonants resonant, and everything will full circle.In fact, it is not.The practice is a must.And it usually begins with the sound [m].This is so pronounced that it is very natural, and it is used even yoga mantra.

Why resonant consonants?

Translated from the Latin Sonorus - is "ringing".Such sounds are not paired deaf and they are also called nose and smooth.Because they are formed using an air stream that passes through the tongue, teeth and lips.He did not interfere, and the sound is pronounced smoothly.Transitional considered [n] [m].In order to form such sounds lips are closed tight, but the air is discharged through the nasal cavity.The three most effective exercises to train pronunciation sonorous consonants:

  • first - a repetition of the phrase, which contains a large number of similar sounds.Quite often in such sentences can be seen strange words that have never been used, but they are necessary for the exercise of pronunciation.It is better if it is done in the same breath and nasal sound.
  • The following sentence should be much more difficult.It is usually longer, so to say in the same breath it is quite difficult.It is better to divide it into parts and say your sound on the nose.
  • last sentence even longer.But it is better to split into two parts.The first run, as the first two exercises, but before the second you need to take a deep breath and say, well, if you have something to send off into the distance.So should develop "Flight" vote.All these exercises will help to learn how to pronounce sonants if they perform regularly.
