Syllable structure for a child. Didactic games and exercises for the formation of the syllabic structure of words
Speech therapy work to eliminate violations of the syllabic structure of words in children with dysarthria involves influencing all components of the speech system.
Complete system speech therapy intervention includes:
Development of general, fine and articulatory motor skills;
Correction of sound pronunciation (staging, automation, differentiation of sounds);
Development of phonemic hearing, formation of phonemic perception skills;
Work on the syllable structure of a word;
Expansion and enrichment of the vocabulary (active and passive);
Development grammatical structure speeches;
Formation of intonation-expressive aspects of speech;
Formation of coherent speech;
Developing self-control over speech;
Formation of practical skills and abilities to use correct speech.
The development of the syllabic structure of words in preschool children with dysarthria was carried out through a system of game exercises. Their goal is to promote the formation of the child’s cognitive activity. Corrective work was carried out in individual and subgroup speech therapy sessions.
Corrective work to overcome violations of the syllabic structure of words consists of the development of speech-auditory perception and speech-motor skills. Two stages can be distinguished:
Preparatory; the goal of this stage is to prepare the child to master the rhythmic structure of words native language;
Actually correctional work; The goal is to correct defects in the syllabic structure of words in a child.
Preparatory stage.
At this stage, game exercises are offered, first on non-verbal material, and then on verbal material.
Working on non-verbal material.
1. Game exercises for the development of concentration of auditory attention, auditory gnosis and auditory memory based on the material of non-speech sounds (Where did you call? Recognize a musical instrument by its sound. How many times did you hit the drum?)
2. Work on rhythm (first on simple, and then on complex). Children are offered various ways rhythm reproduction: clapping your hands, tapping the ball on the floor, using musical instruments- drum, tambourine, metallophone.
Types of tasks:
Clap your hands as many times as there are dots on the die;
Comparison of rhythms: !-!!, !!-!!-;
Recognition of rhythms and correlating them with a certain rhythmic pattern written in symbols;
Reproduction of a certain rhythm according to the model of a speech therapist, according to a given pattern;
Arbitrary reproduction of rhythm by a child followed by recording of the rhythmic pattern with symbols;
Playing long sounds (pipe, harmonica - “-” symbol and short “+” - drum, tambourine). The rhythmic pattern can be as follows: --++, ++-+--, etc.
3. Formation of general coordination of movements to rhythmic music:
marching, easy running.
4. Exercises for the development of dynamic praxis of the hands: performing movements (with the left, right hand, two hands) according to a model, according to verbal instructions or by counting: fist-rib, fist-rib-palm.

6. Graphic exercises for switching (continue the line): 0-0-0…;+=+=…
Work on verbal material.

Thus, the types of exercises were selected depending on the level of speech and intellectual development of the children, their age and type of speech pathology. The work on correcting the syllabic structure of words was carried out for a long time, systematically, according to the principle from simple to complex, taking into account the leading type of activity of children and using clarity. Thanks to this, significant results were achieved in the formation of the syllabic structure of words in children.

Consultation “Violation of the syllabic structure of words”
If there are permutations, omissions or
increase in sounds and syllables, Means word structure is not reproduced correctly.
Up to 3 years of age, this phenomenon is physiological due to, Fine. We often hear from children who have just begun to speak something like this: words:
kasanaut (cosmonaut, matsicycle (motorcycle, mitsanel (policeman,
and we are justified in not worrying about the state of their speech. However, if the child is
at the age of 4-5 years pronounces: KASAVOKA (FRYING PAN, PISOS (VACUUM CLEANER, ANGA (LEG, LIPEKA) (TABLET) etc., then this is a signal of persistent violations of the syllabic structure of words and in this case, the baby needs the help of a speech therapist.
In the system of language with its three components - phonetics, vocabulary and grammar - syllable structure occupies a special place. On the one side,
this is undoubtedly part of the pronunciation side of speech - phonetics
(T. G. Egorov, N. Kh. Shvachkin, etc.). But on the other hand, there is a connection between structural distortions of words and their semantic deficiency in preschoolers (R. E. Levina, A. K. Markova, etc.). Therefore, LEXICAL UNITS, namely words with an unfamiliar meaning are more often subject to changes to syllable level.
According to some researchers, there is an influence of the formation syllable structure and on the grammatical structure of the language.
R. E. Levina notes that the emergence of sentences in a child’s speech is closely related to syllable formation. According to D. B. Elkonin, mastering grammar
ical structure directly depends on the child’s orientation in the sound system of his native language. Improving the latter (and, in particular, the reproduction syllabic structure of words, we create the basis for children to master a variety of grammatical
matic designs and grammar in general.
A.K. Markova points out the connection between mastery syllabic composition with motive-
ational side of the child’s activity, the level of his articulatory capabilities, the state of the auditory (phonemic) perception. She's the same
confirms that due to misstatements syllabic composition of the word communication of preschoolers, their acquisition of sound analysis, and then literacy becomes difficult.
Persistent distortion syllabic structure of the word in a preschooler over four years of age is a symptom of deep phonemic disorders
tic perception, which, in turn, inevitably indicates a general underdevelopment of speech in such a child.
Let's look at some typical examples of distortion syllable structure
words five-year-old children age:
traffic controller – ANALOTIC, IGULETIK;
frying pan – KAVOTA, SYAKAVOTYA;
dragonfly – GOAT, SITAZYA;
stool – BUTEKA, TUBEKA;
intersection - PIKOSYA, KIPYOSYAK;
grapes – BILEDAT, VIGANA;
door - DEL, DEI.
Along with the reduction syllables, their permutations, distortions and replacements
tions, in each example there is violation confluence playback
consonant sounds. This defect is identified by T. B. Filicheva, G. V. Chirkina, L. B. Esechko and O. N. Usanova as the most common in pronunciation words
various syllable structure by children suffering from general underdevelopment
1. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF CORRECTION VIOLATIONS
SYLLABILITY STRUCTURE OF THE WORD
At the formation stage syllable structure all speech material
The child speaks reflectively, following the adult. At the stage of consolidating skills, memorized poems, tongue twisters, and stories are reproduced. On
the final stage of accurate reproduction skills syllable structure
words are finally automated in independent speech (composing
sentences, stories, dialogue on a given topic, etc.).
If a child has difficulties syllabic composition
word pronounced slowly, separately syllables, with simultaneous
slamming it away syllabic contour.
Meaning words to be clarified before it starts syllable-by-syllable pronunciation.
When repeated many times during practice syllabic composition of the word
At the same time, its meaning is consolidated. For this the word is included
into various sentences until its semantics is fully assimilated and syllabic composition.
2. CORRECTION METHOD SYLLABILITY VIOLATIONS
WORD STRUCTURES
a) PREPARATORY STAGE (Creation of a phonetic-phonemic base for correction violations of the syllabic structure of words)
1. PHONETIC BASE – mastering the pronunciation of all vowels, and
also consonant sounds of early ontogenesis (M, N, B, P, V, F, D, T, G, K, X and their soft
options, correcting existing ones voice disorders, tempo, timbre, etc.
2. PHONEMATIC BASE – ability to reproduction:
Combinations of vowel sounds (AUI, AOUI, UOIA, etc.);
- syllabic combinations with a common consonant and different vowel sounds
(TA-TO-TU, PU-PU-PA);
- syllabic combinations with a common vowel and different consonants
(PA-KA-TA, DO-BO-GO);
- syllabic combinations with consonant sounds that are oppositional in voicing -
deafness (DA-TA, PA-BA);
- syllabic combinations with consonant sounds, oppositional in hardness -
Softness (TA-TYA, PA-PYA);
- words, similar in sound composition (BOCK-BOCK-BULL).
B) FORMATION STAGE SYLLABILITY STRUCTURE OF THE WORD
Sound matching words with visual images;
Playing combinations syllables with a combination of consonants;
Pronunciation words(and their combinations containing consonant clusters

This article addresses an issue related to the problem of pronunciation formation, namely, mastering the pronunciation of the syllabic structure of a word by children suffering from general speech underdevelopment.
Currently, in speech therapy work on the pronunciation of these children, the task of correcting individual sounds often comes first. Meanwhile, in the very course of speech training, it is constantly discovered that mastering the pronunciation of the syllabic structure of a word is especially difficult for them and requires the special attention of a speech therapist.
The process of mastering the syllabic structure of a word by non-speaking children has not been specifically studied and is not described in the literature, although works on alalia usually indicate the difficulties that arise here. More detailed information on this issue is contained in works concerning the normal development of speech. A number of authors (A.N. Gvozdev, I.A. Sikorsky, N.H. Shvachkin, B. Kiterman) point to the need to highlight within the phonetic side of speech a special process of assimilation of the syllabic structure of a word, along with the assimilation of individual sounds of a word.
I.A. Sikorsky cites facts from his observations indicating the possibility of individual children mastering predominantly the sound or syllabic characteristics of speech. In his examples, children of the so-called sound direction are characterized by error-free reproduction of one or more sounds of a word; Children of the so-called syllabic direction grasp the syllabic composition of a word, distorting its sound composition and using a very small number of sounds. Information from I.A. Sikorsky are interesting in that they speak of a certain independence of the process of mastering the syllabic structure of a word in relation to the mastery of individual sounds.
Some studies have raised the question of the factors that determine the acquisition of word structure in children with normal speech development. So, A.N. Gvozdev, considering the assimilation of the syllabic composition of a word, dwells on the peculiarity of the syllabic structure of Russian words, which lies in the fact that the strength of unstressed syllables in it is not the same. When mastering the syllabic structure, the child learns to reproduce syllables and words in order of their comparative strength: first, only the stressed syllable is transmitted from the entire word, then the first pre-stressed syllable appears, and, finally, weak unstressed syllables. The omission of weak unstressed syllables prevents the assimilation of the sounds included in them, and in this sense, the fate of different sounds and sound combinations is connected with the assimilation of the syllabic structure. The comparative strength of the syllables of A.N. Gvozdev calls “the main reason influencing the preservation of some syllables in a word and the omission of others.”
Every year the number of children suffering from TSD increases. Most of them have, to one degree or another, a violation of the syllabic structure of the word (SWS). In speech therapy work with children, overcoming deficiencies in sound pronunciation is often highlighted and the importance of the development of the cardiovascular system is underestimated. Difficulties in pronouncing individual sounds, as well as focusing on overcoming them, lead to the fact that the sound, and not the syllable, becomes the unit of pronunciation. This is somewhat contrary to the natural process of speech development. Therefore, it is of particular importance to determine the correct relationship between the development of sound pronunciation and mastery of the syllabic structure of a word. Correction of the cardiovascular system is one of the priority tasks in speech therapy work with preschoolers with systemic speech disorders. The formation of the CVS affects the success of mastering the grammatical structure of speech, mastering sound analysis, writing, and reading.
Since this topic has not been sufficiently studied and covered in educational and methodological literature, speech therapists experience difficulties in organizing work on the formation of the syllabic structure of a word: in systematizing and selecting speech didactic material, providing classes with lexical richness.
This manual presents a system of working on the syllabic structure of a word, based on an analysis of the literature on this problem and on personal teaching experience.
Types of violations of the syllabic structure of words
A.K. Markova identifies the following types of violations of the syllabic structure of a word:
1. Violation of the number of syllables:
- Abbreviation (omission) of a syllable: “skein” - hammer;
- Omission of the syllabic vowel: “pinino” - piano;
- Increasing the number of syllables by inserting vowels into consonant clusters: “komanata” - room;
2. Violation of the sequence of syllables in a word:
- Rearrangement of syllables: “devore” - tree;
- Rearrangement of sounds of adjacent syllables: “hebemot” - hippopotamus;
3. Distortion of the structure of an individual syllable:
- Abbreviation of consonant clusters: “tul” - chair;
- Insertion of consonants into a syllable: “limont” - lemon;
4. Assimilation of syllables : “coconuts” - apricots;
5. Perseverations (cyclical repetition of one syllable).
6. Anticipations (replacing previous sounds with subsequent ones): “nananas” - pineapples;
7. Contamination (mixing elements of words): “booth” - kennel + booth.
Stages of working on the syllabic structure of a word
For the development of the syllabic structure of a word, such non-speech processes as optical-spatial orientation, the possibility of tempo-rhythmic organization of movements and actions, and the ability to serially process information are significant. These non-speech processes are the basic prerequisites for the acquisition of the syllabic structure of a word.
Corrective work to overcome CVS disorders can be divided into 2 stages:
- preparatory, the purpose of which is to prepare the child to master the rhythmic structure of words in his native language; work is carried out on non-verbal and verbal material;
- proper correctional, the purpose of which is the direct correction of cardiovascular system defects in a particular child; work is carried out on verbal material.
Preparatory stage
The preparatory stage includes work in the following areas:
- formation of spatial concepts and optical-spatial orientation;
- development of temporal-spatial orientation;
- development of dynamic and tempo-rhythmic organization of movements.
Below are sample games and exercises to develop these functions. At the preparatory stage, these games and exercises can be used simultaneously, that is, all areas of work can be included in one lesson. Exercises are used not only in speech therapy classes, but also in classes on the development of elementary mathematical concepts, in music classes, in drawing, physical education, and in classes to familiarize themselves with the outside world.
I. Formation of spatial representations and optical-spatial orientation
1. Orientation in your own body
- "This is who we are"(“Show your belly, your back”: The belly is in front, the back is behind. Where is the tummy? Where is the back?).
- "We're putting things in order"(in front of the child are mittens, gloves, sandals, etc. - “Find a pair”, “Place the sandals correctly”).
- "Palms and Footprints"(The child is offered the contours of several palms and footprints and the contour of a palm, for which he must find a pair from the proposed options).
2. Orientation in three-dimensional space
- "Train"(Toys are placed in a column in front of the child and questions are asked: “Who is in front? Who is behind? Who is far away? Who is close?”)
- "Collect a fairy tale"(In front of the child is a set of toys or objects: “Put the horse close to the house. Place the little man between the house and the tree.”)
- "Find the treasure"(orientation according to diagrams).
- "Where the locomotive whistles"(sound location determination).
II. Development of temporal-spatial orientation
- "The bunny went to visit"(The child in the role of a bunny goes according to the instructions to visit a squirrel, a hedgehog, a frog. Who had it first, then, at the very end?)
- "What's first, what's next"(The adult gives the child tasks: 1) first jump, then squat, and finally clap your hands; 2) first rock the bear, then feed the bunny, at the end dress up the doll - the child performs and then describes the sequence of his actions).
- "Watch and repeat"(The adult shows a series of movements, the child watches, then repeats all the movements in the desired sequence)
III. Development of dynamic and tempo-rhythmic organization of movements
Areas of work:
- Improving gross motor movements
- Improving fine motor skills
- Development of articulatory motor skills
- Developing a sense of tempo
- Formation of a sense of rhythm
Improving motor skills: general, fine, articulatory
Goal: development of spatial organization of movements; development of switchability of movements; development of the ability to reproduce a given sequence of movements.
- "Do as I do"
The speech therapist performs a series of first two, then three or four movements, the children follow the instructions: “Do as I do”, “Continue yourself”: 1) Sit down - stand up, sit down - stand up, ... 2) Hands to the sides - on the belt, in sides - on the belt, ...3) Leg forward - back - to the side, forward - back - to the side.
- "Skillful Hands"
Alternation of different poses: 1) Fists - palms, ... 2) Rings - ears - horns, ... 3) Fingers say hello.
- Articulation exercises
Alternation of different poses of the organs of the articulatory apparatus: 1) “Frog” - “Proboscis” - “Donut”; 2) “Watch”; 3) “Spatula” - “Needle”.
Developing a sense of tempo
Goal: to teach to distinguish, reproduce, characterize tempo based on tactile-kinesthetic, visual, and auditory sensations.
- "Mouse and Cat"
An adult shows the children how easily and quickly a mouse runs on its toes, and a cat slowly sneaks behind it. The movements are performed in a circle to the sound of a tambourine. For frequent blows - quickly, like a mouse, for rare blows - slowly, calmly, like a cat.
- "Fists - palms"
An adult reads a poem, and children perform hand movements at the right pace:
Anyone has two fists, hit one lightly on the other:
Knock —
knock, knock —
knock
Well, the palms don’t lag behind, they beat them cheerfully:
Clap —
clap, clap —
clap
The fists beat faster, how hard they try:
Knock —
knock —
knock, knock —
knock —
knock
And the palms are just there, crumbling:
Clap —
clap —
clap, clap —
clap —
clap
Formation of a sense of rhythm
Objectives: to teach to perceive metrical relations (accented unaccented beats — a prerequisite for the acquisition of stress), to distinguish and reproduce rhythm based on tactile-kinesthetic, visual, and auditory sensations.
- “Thunder” (clap your hands loudly, or quietly, leaning on the drawing - a large cloud - a loud clap, a small cloud - a quiet one).
- Graphic switching exercises: “Beads” (alternating beads of different colors - for example, red - yellow - red - yellow, etc.), “Track” (alternating two or three geometric shapes, various objects).
- Reproduction of rhythms based on clarity, on patterns: “Snowflakes”, “Rain”, “Woodpecker” (“Rain” - a large drop - a long clap, a small drop - a short one).
- Playing a given rhythm by ear: “Bunny and Spoons”
The adult has wooden spoons in his hands, the children stand in a circle. An adult walks around the circle and sings: The gray little bunny went to visit. The little gray bunny found a spoon. I found the spoons and went up to the house. He stops behind the child and knocks on the spoons: knock - knock - knock. The child asks: “Who’s there?” The adult replies: “It’s me, Bunny, and who are you?” The child answers: “….” The adult continues: “Come on... come out and knock on the spoons with me!” The adult plays the child on the spoons with any of the proposed rhythms: / //; // /; // //; // / etc.
Corrective stage
Corrective work is carried out on verbal material and consists of several levels. The transition to the next level occurs after mastering the material of the previous level.
The following levels are distinguished:
- level of vowel sounds;
- syllable level;
- word level;
- level of short sentences;
- level of pure proverbs, poems and other texts.
Particular importance at each level is given to “inclusion in work” in addition to the speech analyzer, also the auditory, visual and tactile ones. Below are suggested exercises for each level.
Working on vowels
- Pronouncing a series of two, three or more sounds:
- accompanied by symbols (“Men - sounds”)
- without visual support.
- Pronunciation of a number of vowels with emphasis on one of them (also - with support for clarity and without it - by ear).
- Recognition and pronunciation of a series of vowels from the silent articulation of an adult.
- "Musical Ball"
An adult, throwing a ball to a child, makes one or two (at the next stage more) sounds. The child repeats and returns the ball.
- Pronouncing a series of vowels, changing the volume, tempo, “mood” (sad, angry, affectionate) of the voice.
- Pronounce as many vowels as there are flowers in the meadow.
- Stand up when a series of two (or other specified number) sounds sounds.
Working on syllables
Work is carried out with different types of syllables:
- with a common consonant (for example, the exercise “Rolling a snow woman” - imitating the movements, say: ba - bo - bu - would);
- with a common vowel ( ka - ta - ma - va);
- reverse syllables (Say “Aw - aw” as many times as there are dots);
- closed syllables, their rows and pairs (various onomatopoeias);
- direct and reverse syllables with oppositional sounds: according to hardness - softness, sonority - deafness (“We hammer in nails with a hammer: ta - yes - ta - yes, then - to - to - to");
- syllables with confluence.
Techniques and exercises:
- “Musical ball” (see “Working on vowels”)
- The combination of pronouncing syllabic rows with any rhythmic movement: with drawing or tracing broken lines; with laying out sticks and circles; with drawing patterns with a finger in cereals poured into a small box.
- Working with rhythmic patterns (Exercise “Chicken”: the child is offered a rhythmic pattern // / // / /// / /, he needs to voice it: ko-ko ko ko-ko ko ko-ko-ko ko ko).
Working on the word
A.K. Markova identifies the following types of syllabic structure of a word:
- Two-syllables from open syllables ( willow, children).
- Trisyllabic open syllables ( hunting, raspberry).
- Monosyllabic ( house, poppy).
- Two-syllables with a closed syllable ( sofa, furniture).
- Two-syllables with a cluster of consonants in the middle of the word ( bank, branch).
- Two-syllable words made from closed syllables ( compote, tulip).
- Three-syllable words with a closed syllable ( hippopotamus, phone)
- Three syllables with a consonant cluster ( room, shoes).
- Three syllables with a consonant cluster and a closed syllable ( ladle).
- Three-syllable words with two consonant clusters ( matryoshka).
- Monosyllabic words with a consonant cluster at the beginning of a word ( table).
- Monosyllabic words with a confluence at the end of a word ( umbrella).
- Two-syllables with two consonant clusters ( button).
- Four-syllable words made from open syllables ( turtle, piano).
Work on words is carried out sequentially - the transition to words of a more complex syllabic structure is carried out as words of the previous type are mastered.
Games and exercises used in the process of practicing words with different types of syllable structure
- Syllable tracks (there are traces on the tracks - depending on the number of syllables in the word - the child says the word, stepping on each syllable to the next trace).
- Syllable lines.
- Syllabic houses (1. The number of syllables corresponds to the number of floors in the house - 3 houses with different numbers of floors - the child pronounces the word, counts the syllables and puts the picture in the desired house. 2. The number of syllables in the distributed words depends on the inhabitants of the houses: cancer - 1 syllable, rooster - 2, frog - 3 syllables).
- “House - castle - hut” (distribution of words depending on the number of syllables in these buildings: to the house - words of one syllable, to the castle - two-syllable words, to the hut - words consisting of 3 syllables).
- “Clock” (find and show with an arrow words of two (1, 3, 4) syllables)
- “Think of a word” (match a word to the diagram - with or without reference to pictures, for example, CA _; CA _ _)
- “Steam locomotive” (a steam locomotive consists of several carriages, the carriages differ in the number of windows, depending on this the words are distributed - in a carriage with one window there are monosyllable words, with two - two-syllable words, etc.).
- “TV” (Visual aid “TV”. There are 1-4 vowel letters on the screen. The child is offered pictures. You need to choose a picture that matches the pattern on the screen. For example, on the screen are the letters U A. And pictures to choose from: house, pear, rose) .
Working on phrases, sentences, texts
- "Add-ons" (There are pictures in front of the children. The adult starts, the child finishes, and then repeats the phrase. For example, prickly... (hedgehog); balloon); cunning... (fox)).
- "Snowball" (The words are accompanied by movements of the hands from top to bottom; how many words, so many movements, as if we are “stepping up the steps”. The number of words gradually increases. Each time we begin to “step” from top to bottom again. For example: Birdie. A bird is flying. A beautiful bird is flying. A beautiful little bird is flying.).
- Work on pure sayings, nursery rhymes, jokes, poems.
The study of syllable structure in children with systemic speech disorders is most widely represented in the domestic literature.
A.K. Markov defines the syllabic structure of a word as an alternation of stressed and unstressed syllables of varying degrees of complexity.
The syllabic structure of a word is characterized by four parameters:
1) emphasis,
2) number of syllables,
3) a linear sequence of syllables,
4) the model of the syllable itself.
The speech therapist should know, how the structure of words becomes more complex, and examine the thirteen classes of syllable structures that are the most frequent. The purpose of this examination is not only to determine those syllable classes that have been formed in the child, but also to identify those that need to be formed. The speech therapist also needs to determine the type of violation of the syllabic structure of the word. As a rule, the range of these disorders varies widely: from minor difficulties in pronouncing words of complex syllable structure to severe violations.
Violations of syllabic structure modify the syllabic composition of a word in different ways. Distortions consisting of a pronounced violation of the syllabic composition of the word are clearly distinguished.
Words can be deformed due to:
1. Syllable count violations:
a) Elysia- reduction (skipping) of syllables: “skein” (hammer).
The child does not fully reproduce the number of syllables of a word. When reducing the number of syllables, syllables may be omitted at the beginning of the word (“na” - moon), in the middle (“gunitsa” - caterpillar), the word may not be said to the end (“kapu” - cabbage).
Depending on the degree of speech underdevelopment, some children shorten even a two-syllable word to a monosyllabic one (“ka” - porridge, “pi” - wrote), others find it difficult only at the level of four-syllable structures, replacing them with three-syllable ones (“puvitsa” - button).
Omission of the word-forming vowel.
The syllabic structure can be shortened due to the loss of only syllabic-forming vowels, while the other element of the word - the consonant - is preserved (“prosonic” - pig; “sugar bowl” - sugar bowl). This type of syllable structure disorder is less common.
b) Iterations
Increasing the number of syllables by adding a syllabic vowel in the place where there is a cluster of consonants (“tarawa” - grass). This lengthening of the structure of the word is due to its peculiar dismembered pronunciation, which represents a kind of “unfolding” of the word and especially consonant clusters into component sounds (“dirigible” - airship).
2. Violations of the sequence of syllables in a word:
Rearranging syllables in a word (“devore” - tree);
Rearrangement of sounds of adjacent syllables (“gebemot” - hippopotamus). These distortions occupy a special place, with them the number of syllables is not violated, while the syllable composition undergoes gross violations.
3. Distortions of the structure of an individual syllable:
A contraction of a consonant sequence that turns a closed syllable into an open one (“kaputa” - cabbage); a syllable with a consonant cluster is transformed into a syllable without a consonant cluster (“tul” - chair).
This defect is identified by Filichev and Chirkin as the most common when pronouncing words of different syllable structures by children suffering from OHP.
Insertion of consonants into a syllable (“limont” - lemon).
4. Anticipations, i.e. likening one syllable to another (“pipitan” - captain; “vevesiped” - bicycle).
5. Perseverations(from the Greek word for “persevere”). This is an inert stuckness on one syllable in a word (“pananama” - panama; “vvvalabey” - sparrow).
Perseveration of the first syllable is most dangerous, because this type of syllable structure disorder can develop into stuttering.
6. Contamination- connecting parts of two words (“refrigerator” - refrigerator, bread box).
All of the above types of distortion syllable composition of words are very common in children with systemic speech disorders. These disorders occur in children with speech underdevelopment at different (depending on the level of speech development) levels of syllabic difficulty. The retarding effect of syllabic distortions on the process of speech acquisition is further aggravated by the fact that they are highly persistent. All these features of the formation of the syllabic structure of a word interfere with the normal development of oral speech (accumulation of vocabulary, assimilation of concepts) and make it difficult for children to communicate, and also undoubtedly interfere with sound analysis and synthesis, and therefore interfere with learning to read and write.
Based on the type of violation of the syllabic structure of a word, the level of speech development can be diagnosed. Characterizing the levels of speech development, R.E. Levina highlights the following features of reproducing the syllabic structure of a word:
First level- limited ability to reproduce the syllabic structure of a word. In children's independent speech, one- and two-syllable formations predominate, and in reflected speech there is a clearly noticeable tendency to reduce the repeated word to one or two syllables (cubes - “ku”).
Second level- children can reproduce the outline of words of any syllabic structure, but the sound composition is diffuse. The greatest difficulties are caused by the pronunciation of one-syllable and two-syllable words with a combination of consonants in the word. Here one often observes the loss of one of the adjacent consonants, and sometimes several sounds (star - “squeal”). In a number of cases, polysyllabic structures are shortened (policeman - “anye”).
Third level- complete syllabic structure of words. Only as a residual phenomenon is there a rearrangement of sounds and syllables (sausage - “kobalsa”). Violation of syllable structure occurs much less frequently, mainly when reproducing unfamiliar words.
T.B. Filicheva, characterizing the types of syllable structure violations in children of the fourth level of speech development, notes that such children at first glance make a completely favorable impression. Understanding the meaning of a word, the child does not retain its phonetic image in memory.
The consequence is distortion of sound filling in different versions:
1) perseveration (librarian - “librarian”),
2) rearrangements of sounds in a word and syllables (jacket - “jacket”),
3) elysia (hippopotamus - “bimot”),
4) paraphasia (motorcyclist - “motokilist”),
5) in rare cases - omission of syllables (cyclist - “cyclist”),
6) adding sounds and syllables (vegetables - “vegetables”).
Filicheva notes that these violations concern words with a complex syllabic structure. Children of the fourth level lack anticipation and contamination. The incompleteness of the formation of the sound-syllable structure and the mixing of sounds characterize the insufficient level of differentiated perception of phonemes. Violation of the syllabic structure of words persists in children with speech pathology for many years, and is detected whenever the child encounters a new sound-syllable structure.
Talking about factors, causing a violation of the syllabic structure of a word, a number of authors note that the process of assimilation of the syllabic structure of a word is closely related to speech development in general, in particular, to the state of the child’s phonemic (sensory) or motor (articulatory) capabilities.
In case of predominance in underdevelopment of speech, disorders in the sphere of auditory perception in children are dominated by rearrangements of syllables and addition of the number of syllables. Similarization of syllables and reduction of consonant clusters are rare and have a variable nature (i.e., the shortened version alternates with the unabridged one).
If disorders in the articulatory sphere predominate in speech underdevelopment, the following types of errors predominate: reduction in the number of syllables, and in a clear static form, assimilation of syllables to each other and reduction of consonant clusters.
Thus, word distortion depends not only on the level of speech underdevelopment, but also on its nature. In some cases, underdevelopment affects deficiencies in mastering the syllabic composition of a word through deviations in the sensory sphere and the resulting difficulties in distinguishing syllabic contours. In other cases, due to the immaturity of the articulatory sphere, difficulties arise in reproducing syllable contours and in merging different syllables in a series.
A.K. Markova states that mastery of the syllabic composition of a word is not directly dependent on mastery of individual sounds. The inability to reproduce the syllabic structure of a word persists longer than the deficiencies in the pronunciation of individual sounds. The author argues that the isolated pronunciation of a sound and its pronunciation as part of a word present tasks of varying difficulty for a child with speech underdevelopment. Even with the correct pronunciation of individual sounds (in an isolated position), the syllabic structure of the word consisting of these sounds is reproduced by the child distortedly. Moreover, the more complex the syllabic structures, the more numerous the distortions of sounds, i.e. the ability to pronounce existing sounds in words is closely related to the level of complexity of the syllabic structure. The reproduction of a syllable structure given to a child (in terms of the number of syllables and stress) does not depend on the defectiveness of the sounds included in it: if a child reproduces a syllable structure from correctly pronounced sounds, then he correctly pronounces it from defective ones.
In children with erased dysarthria there is an interdependence between unclear articulatory images and auditory differential features of sounds, which leads to a distortion in the formation of phonemic hearing. Insufficient phonemic hearing at an early age inhibits the maturation of phonetic hearing, which is designed to monitor the sequence of syllable series in the child’s speech. Taking into account the motor difficulties associated with insufficient innervation of the muscles of the speech apparatus, as well as the presence of dyspraxic disorders, manifested in a chaotic search for the desired articulation or difficulties in switching, it is possible to understand the causes of disturbances in the syllable structure in children with erased dysarthria.
In the tutorial E.N. Vinarskaya and G.M. Bogomazov’s “Age Phonetics” (2005) notes that in some children the rhythmic structure of a word is formed earlier, while in others syllables (root words) appear first. The authors see the reason for this in different degrees of maturation of kinesthetic or auditory sensitivity. Thus, with an advantage in kinesthetic sensitivity, the rhythmic structure of a word is acquired earlier. In children with leading auditory sensitivity, syllable contrasts are formed earlier. Phonetic syllabic representations and representations of phonetic rhythmic structures are provided by afferentation of various physiological modalities: kinesthetic, acoustic, vestibular, tactile and visual, which should be taken into account when corrective work with children with speech disorders.
When studying syllable structure words of children with erased dysarthria, the possibilities of reproducing the syllabic structure of words of different structures are analyzed according to A.K. Markova. The possibilities of reproducing words of 13 classes are studied.

lizard - mitten -
Besides words, included in 13 classes, the pronunciation of more complex words is assessed: “cinema”, “policeman”, “teacher”, “thermometer”, “scuba diver”, “traveler”, etc.
Data from a study of the syllable structure of children with speech impairments showed that words of classes 1-4 of syllable structure are most accessible to them. Normally, this type of word syllabic structure is formed by the age of three.
Isolated pronunciation of words Grades 5-8 of syllable structure require increased self-control and some chanting, i.e. syllable-by-syllable pronunciation. The inclusion of these words in a phrase worsens the indicators of sound-syllable structure. Erroneous reproduction of words in grades 9-13 is observed both in isolated naming from pictures and in reflected repetition from a speech therapist. Their inclusion in a phrase reveals a variety of violations: omissions, rearrangements, etc. Many children refuse the task and say: “I can’t,” i.e. assess their capabilities in advance.
Words of increased complexity(beyond grade 13) many children with speech impairments either refuse to name, repeat after the speech therapist, or distort the sound-syllable structure so much that the word becomes completely distorted. The speech therapist visually notes difficulties in articulatory motor skills: kinesthetic dyspraxia, when the child selects the desired articulation, or kinetic dyspraxia, when he cannot switch to the next articulation. In addition, synkinesis, slow and tense movements of the organs of articulation are noted. Most children with erased dysarthria cannot pronounce words of a complex syllabic structure in a sentence, although the meaning of these words is clarified and some work is carried out on semantization, not only because of difficulties in speech movements, but in some cases also due to a decrease in auditory memory for a sequential linear series .
Thus, almost all children fail to cope with the task of repeating the sentence:
Cutlets are fried in a frying pan.
Spring streams gurgle merrily.
The teacher teaches the students.
Interesting observations can be considered to be evident in children, along with difficulties in reproducing words of a complex syllabic structure and a violation of general rhythmic abilities. Children cannot repeat a simple rhythmic pattern: clap their hands 1, 2, 3 times, perform a series of claps “1, 2” pause “1, 2”, etc. They cannot clap a similar rhythmic pattern with different strength, i.e. make an emphasis according to the model demonstrated by the speech therapist (knock hard 1 time, quietly 2 times).
Violations, identified in the study of children’s rhythmic abilities, correlate with their motor impairment in the general, fine, manual and articulatory spheres. A feature of some children is the correct reproduction of the contour of words of the first four classes (according to Markova), but expressed by a violation of sound completion. Correctly repeating three complex words after a speech therapist, children often distort them in spontaneous speech, reducing the number of syllables.
When played correctly the contours of these words indicate multiple errors in conveying the sound content of the words; rearrangements and replacement of sounds, syllables, assimilation of syllables, abbreviation when consonants coincide in a word. The largest number of listed errors occurs in pronunciation of words of grades 10-13 and increased syllabic complexity. Low-frequency words are often reduced. There is a limited ability to perceive and reproduce the syllabic structure of a word. Children often distort the syllable structure of rarely used but familiar words, even those consisting of correctly pronounced sounds.
