Tongue twisters with hissing sounds - sh, zh, ch, sch - ANNOUNCERS.com

Hard and soft consonants

Consonants are hard and soft. They are divided into paired and unpaired. Paired hard and paired soft consonants help us distinguish between words. Compare: horse [kon'] - kon [kon], bow [bow] - hatch [l'uk].

For understanding, let’s explain it “on the fingers”. If a consonant letter in different words means either a soft or hard sound, then the sound belongs to the pair. For example, in the word cat the letter k denotes a hard sound [k], in the word whale the letter k denotes a soft sound [k']. We get: [k] - [k'] form a hardness-softness pair. Sounds for different consonants cannot be classified as a pair, for example [v] and [k'] do not form a pair in terms of hardness-softness, but they do form a pair [v]-[v']. If a consonant sound is always hard or always soft, then it belongs to unpaired consonants. For example, the sound [zh] is always hard. There are no words in the Russian language where it would be soft [zh']. Since there is no pair [zh]-[zh'], it is classified as unpaired.

Voiced and voiceless consonants

Consonant sounds are voiced and unvoiced. Thanks to voiced and voiceless consonants, we distinguish words. Compare: ball - heat, stake - goal, house - volume. Voiceless consonants are pronounced with the mouth almost closed; when pronouncing them, the vocal cords do not work. Voiced consonants require more air, the vocal cords work.

Some consonant sounds have a similar sound in the way they are pronounced, but are pronounced with different tonality - dull or voiced. Such sounds are combined in pairs and form a group of paired consonants. Accordingly, paired consonants are a pair of a voiceless and a voiced consonant.

• paired consonants: b-p, v-f, g-k, d-t, z-s, zh-sh.
• unpaired consonants: l, m, n, r, y, c, x, h, shch.

Paired and unpaired consonants

Consonant sounds (soft and hard, voiceless and voiced) are divided into paired and unpaired. The tables above show the division. Let's summarize everything with a diagram:

To be able to do phonetic analysis, in addition to consonant sounds, you need to know

It is no coincidence that hissing consonant sounds received such an interesting name - they really seem to hiss, since they are pronounced in a special way. Our article for 2nd grade students talks about them in detail: what groups such sounds are divided into, what features and phonetic characteristics they have.

What are these sounds and how to pronounce them

Hissing sounds stand out from the rest by the acoustic noise they produce, that is, hissing. They can be pronounced correctly only with the lips open and slightly extended forward, while the teeth are almost closed. This creates a gap through which the air hisses. Thus, a striking example of a hissing consonant sound is the sound [ш], which is clearly pronounced in this way, without adding a voice. All four of these sounds are always pronounced while exhaling. At the same time, the sound does not pass from the sides: it is blocked by the tongue, pressed against the molars and hard palate. That is, in order to pronounce a hissing sound correctly, you need to “make” a ladle out of your tongue.

We can say that they are of a complex nature - they are difficult to pronounce not only for children, but also for many adults. To learn how to do this correctly, you need to monitor not only the position of your tongue and lips, but also the exhaled air: its stream passes approximately in the middle and should be wide enough. You can check this by raising your hand to your mouth.

If you monitor your articulation, you will notice that all hissing sounds are based on one thing - [w]. So, [g] appears if you add a voice to it, that is, trembling of the vocal cords. With [ш] the middle part of the tongue rises, and with [h] a stop in front of the labial-dental fissure is added to this rise.

8. Ripping the leggings off an otter In the tundra I'll wipe the kernels of the cedars with the otter I'll wipe the otter's face with the leggings Cannonballs in buckets Otter into the tundra!

Unpaired or paired?

The science of the Russian language considers the sounds [ch] and [sch] to be unpaired, and [zh] and [sh] to be paired only according to one attribute. And indeed, since there are other sounds that have a pair, they cannot be completely combined. However, there are two characteristics by which they can be combined into groups - voiced/voiceless and hard/soft. So, [zh] and [sh] are only hard sounds, and [h] and [sch] are soft. It doesn’t matter what vowels come after them. Even if you put a soft sign after the letter denoting a hard sibilant, the sound will be pronounced hard.

As for the division into voiceless and voiced, the first category includes [w], [h] and [sch], and the second - only [z], since when it is pronounced, a voice is added. Thus, [zh] and [sh] are paired on the basis of deafness/voice.

Once upon a time it was different - [f] and [w] were soft, but already from the 14th century they began to become the same as today, that is, hard.

Features of hissing sounds

Sibilants have their own characteristics when pronounced

. So, you need to tighten your lips and move them forward a little. They cannot be pronounced with closed lips, unlike some others (for example, M). The tip of the tongue is slightly pressed against the palate with its edges, leaving a small space in the center of the tongue. It is through this that the air passes, creating a hissing sound when pronounced.

Initially, hissing consonants were soft in the Old Russian language. They appeared as a result of the first palatalization, or when the combination of consonants with , ['zj] and other sounds changed.

The initial softness of these sounds determined the fact that in many literary monuments the letters that denoted them were pronounced followed by vowels or “ь”

, For example:

• husband;
• nessshi;
• hour;
• comfort, etc.

However, in the process of the formation of linguistic norms and adverbs, [w] and [zh] hardened, but “ch” still remained soft. The hardening of [w] took place around the 14th century. At this time, variants of writing the sounds [w] or [zh] with the letter “s” after them appeared in literary monuments. For example, “Shyshkin” or “hold.”

In modern language, it is traditional to write a soft sign at the end or the letter “and”

to denote the sound [s] in words such as:

• disturb;
• sew;
• rye, etc.

Combinations such as soft [schtsch] or [zhj], which were common in antiquity, then lost the explosive element in such combinations in words such as “I’m looking for” or “yeast.”

Sample tasks on the topic of sibilant consonants

A teacher who will conduct a lesson for first-graders on this topic should set himself the following tasks:

• he is obliged to create conditions for children to learn the concept of hardness and softness of consonants, for example, that “zh” and “w” are always hard;
• teach students to correctly formulate writing skills;
• develop their written and coherent oral speech;
• use new information technologies when teaching.

After the teacher explains the essence of the lesson, he can write several letters on the board (B, L, CH, K, R).

Then the question is asked which of the letters presented does not denote any sound, and the correct answer is b. You can also ask students to find the letter for the hissing sound.

• children are asked to take turns reading the text (the skill of reading aloud is improved);
• we select some words and invite the children to explain their meaning (at the teacher’s choice);
• offer to find those words that contain letters denoting hissing consonants;
• Have them say them out loud and write the letters on the board.

The next part of the lesson is to work with images

. Hang pictures on the board and ask students questions:

• what objects are shown in the pictures;
• what names contain hissing sounds;
• Which of the listed sizzlers are hard and which are soft.

Working with tongue twisters

Tongue twisters are a great warm-up for children

, which perfectly develops their speech skills. In the educational process they are used in different ways, in particular, in the study of sibilant consonants.

Ask the children what hissing sounds they found in tongue twisters, whether they differ from each other, and what their main characteristics are.

Dictation

Offer to write down one of them in your notebook and ask students to underline the hard (or soft) sibilants. Invite one of the students to do this at the board.

Partial written work was mentioned above. It can also include homework. Sometimes workbooks contain tasks where you need to insert missing letters into words that contain certain sibilants. They should be emphasized.

So, we looked at what hissing consonant sounds are, how they can be identified, and with the help of what tasks you can teach a lesson at school on this topic.
