Our speech can tell a lot about who we are and what our character is. It often happens that a person at first sight creates one impression, and after saying a few words - completely different. That is why the sound culture of speech is one of the important components of our image.
The sound culture of speech implies a whole complex of sound-producing qualities and skills:
- the ability to accurately reproduce sounds and words;
- to fulfill stress norms;
- own intonation, strength and height of voice;
- skillfully choose the pace of speech;
- be able to apply gestures , posture and facial expressions.
Education of the sound culture of speech
The formation of the sound culture of speech includes the development of speech breathing and speech hearing. If a person does not hear the difference between right options and wrong ones or can not cope with breathing, then the process of the formation of correct speech can be unsuccessful.
The formation of the sound culture of speech originates in early childhood. Parents become the standard of speech. In rare cases, the failure to develop this skill can be caused by organic lesions of speech organs, hearing organs or mental retardation. But if parents themselves do not have enough of the language culture, this does not mean that a person does not overstep this bar. The education of the sound culture of speech is possible at a conscious age, if we make efforts and efforts to do this.
