Estrategias articulatorias de los fonemas (B, C, D, R, S, T y CH) mediantes los trabalenguas

Abstract

This monograph is aimed at anyone interested in improving or overcoming articulation difficulties, especially actors, who, due to the demands of their work, require precise and efficient voice control. With the purpose of understanding and strengthening the correct production of phonemes according to their point and manner of articulation, research was conducted based on the systematic use of tongue twisters as a vocal training tool. Throughout the work, the function of these literary forms in articulatory progress is examined, organizing the research into several chapters: from the initial diagnosis performed on the La Cantera theater group - in order to identify their main articulation problems and evaluate the effectiveness of tongue twisters - to the theoretical analysis of the results, the methodological proposal of exercises, and the presentation of general conclusions. To support the study, an extensive collection of information was carried out in bookstores, libraries, and institutions, as well as interviews that allowed gathering around 110 tongue twisters, including Spanish and Mexican versions, in order to rescue and value this practice that is falling into disuse. The investigative process, developed between February and June, included filmed and recorded sessions, the results of which were subsequently organized, compared with the theory, and converted into concrete proposals for vocal work. Finally, the contributions of teachers, institutions, family, and all the people who made the development of this research possible are recognized and appreciated, which seeks to enrich and strengthen articulation training strategies through tongue twisters.
