O popularnych, lecz dyskusyjnych ćwiczeniach języka w przypadku obwodowych zaburzeń artykulacji

Abstract

The authors present the physiology of the articulation of selected sounds in the Polish language. They also revise the usefulness of popular tongue exercises (e.g. teeth counting, “cat’s back”, tongue rolling, touching the nose with the tip of the tongue, and pushing the cheeks) from the perspective of articulation therapy. The article also introduces and organizes information concerning primary and secondary tongue movements, as well as basic facts about tongue anatomy and physiology.
