Consonant sounds in Russian

Russian is an ancient, complex, but extremelybeautiful and melodic language. The fundamental moment in it is the alphabet, rich in consonants and vowels and allowing to compose any combinations of sound forms.

The smallest and indivisible particles thatcan be easily pronounced and heard, there are sounds in it. They exist in written and oral form and are designed to form differences in words and morphemes. Without these particles, any speech would become not just "poor", but also difficult to pronounce.

consonant sounds

In Russian there are thirty sixconsonants and six vowels. This situation arises in view of the main feature of word-compositing graphics, since the softness of the agreed sounds can not be indicated by a deaf letter, but only by a ringing or a soft sign.

We can only say the consonantsIf, on the path of the air jet, an obstacle appears that forms the lower lip or tongue as they approach each other, or when they meet with the upper lip, teeth or sky.

When the airflow is overcome by a stream of air, orthe noise is formed, which is the main component of the sounds: the noise and tone are connected in sonorous, and in the deaf it is their main component. Therefore, consonants and are subdivided on the basis of "voiced-deafness".

voiced consonant sounds

Voiced consonant sounds consist only of noise andvote. These include: [b], [p], [c], [n], [r], [m], [d], [n], [s], their soft pairs, and [d] and [x]. During their pronunciation, the flow of air that passes through the obstruction affects and causes the vocal cords to oscillate.

When pronunciation of voiceless consonant soundsthe vocal cords remain completely relaxed. They are pronounced without a voice and consist only of noise. The following soft sounds are considered to be deaf: [x], [k], [ph], [n], [t], [c] and the corresponding soft sounds, as well as [nu '] and [w], [n] and [ ].

On the basis of "hardness-softness", consonants haveone single main difference, which is the location of the language. It shifts slightly forward when the soft sounds are pronounced, and its middle part rises to the sky. While in the pronunciation of solid the main part of it goes back.

soft consonant sounds

By "hardness-softness" sounds form 15 pairs.Solid unpaired - [ц], [ш], [ж], and [й '], [щ'] and [ч '] - soft consonant sounds. Others - [w] and [uw '] - do not have pairs, because they differ in such criteria as "hardness-softness" and "shortness-longitude".

The consonant sounds that are formed during the closing of the organs of speech and due to the explosion of air during their rapid disconnection are related to the occlusive sounds. Such are considered [n], [k], [b], [d], [r], [t].

Смычно-проходные звуки [н], [м] и [л] так are called, since the tip of the tongue tightly closes with the upper jaw, but crevices are formed between its edge and the lateral teeth, due to which the air leaves. When a narrow aperture resembling a slot is formed in the pronunciation of sounds, then such consonant sounds are called slit sounds. These include the following: [w], [c], [c], [x], [w], [ph] and [s].

Correct understanding of sound forms and skillto define them in words is the main component of the Russian language. Who "has power" over the open-consonant letters, the easier it is given further the school program.
