WORK ON SOME ASPECTS OF MUSIC AND LANGUAGE AT THE LESSONS OF MUSIC PHONETICS WITH INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AT THE CLASSES OF USL

Abstract

The problem of the relationship between speech and music was considered by many representatives of various science fields. Musicologists, psychologists, linguists, and ethnographers were interested in music and speech comparative analysis. Scientists studied the problems of musical and speech rhythms perception and their influence a psyche, the issues of music and speech emotional coloring, the patterns of musical and speech intonations. The purpose of this study is developing the system of complex work on the articulation of Ukrainian sounds, stress, word rhythm and intonation on musical phonetics lessons at the initial stage of training foreign students. Music and speech are important forms of human communication. Communication is the most obvious parameter of the speech and music similarity. In addition, such characteristics of these sound phenomena components as sign, rhythm, intonational basis, as well as acoustic parameters: pitch, strength, timbre, duration, dynamics may be distinguished. Since the rhythm of speech depends on the rhythm of breathing, and the musical rhythm, in turn, affects the rhythms of human heart activity, it is not difficult to establish the dependence between musical rhythms and speech. Speech and music intonations can be analyzed in terms of both differences and similarities. The functions proximity, the similarity of the principles of the intonation process make it possible to transfer speech experience to the perception of music. It was not by chance that vocal genres and other forms of music and speech synthesis appeared. It reflected the experience of various forms of communication. As many researchers note, everything that a person can express in speech can be used in music. In speech, we pronounce vowel sounds with the help of lips and nasopharynx. In singing, we build and pronounce vowels in the throat, behind the root of the tongue, and do not need the help of the lips. When we open the pharynx with a half-lash, that cavity is formed in it, which we form (articulate) vocal vowels in. The process of learning Ukrainian as a foreign language begins with mastering its articulation base, with mastering pronunciation. The main goal of learning pronunciation is the development and automation of hearing and pronunciation skills and phonemic hearing. The teaching of the Ukrainian language to foreign students, in particular phonetics, is based on the following principles: reliance on the system properties of the Ukrainian language phonetics structure; consideration of the features of students’ native language phonetics system; a combination of consciousness and imitativeness in teaching pronunciation (consciously imitative way); the complexity of the work on articulation, word stress and rhythm and intonation.
