It is the transformation of the breath into the traditional sounds of our spoken language in the 3rd cluster organs (tongue, teeth, palate, lips) consisting of the pharynx, mouth and nose after it comes out of the larynx. Articulation means the collective movement of speech organs.

 

Articulation is the practice of converting our breath into sound as it passes through the larynx. Articulation work is necessary to give the child an understandable expression.

 

If the individual cannot produce the independent or compound sounds of his/her mother tongue correctly and clearly, cannot reach each other properly, or if there is too much deviation from the expected age in the production and pronunciation of these sounds, he/she has an articulation disorder.

​

In short, articulation disorder; It is the lack of smoothness and sound harmony expected from the person's age and speech development period. It can be in the form of discordant sound and use, wrong emphasis and selection, or disorders in arrangement.

There are 4 interrelated processes in speech production:​​

​

1. Respiration (Respiration):It provides motivating power for speaking.

2. Voice (phonation) :It is the production of sounds by vibration of vocal muscles.

3. Reverberation (Resonation) :It is a process that affects the quality of one's voice and plays an important role in the awareness of speech sound.

4. Speak-Articulation (Articulation):It is a process where individual speech sounds are produced in the extraction of tone and breath flow with the help of the tongue, chin, lips and soft palate, which also includes the reverberation of the sound in this way. A special term is given to each articulation disorder according to the effect of speech sounds:

-Rotaticism: 'r' sound disorder

- Gamatism: 'g' sound disorder

-Sigmatism: 's' sound disorder

-Capacism: 'k' sound disorder
