The present invention relates to a pronunciation phonometric device for partial insertion into the oral cavity.

The ability to communicate in English as an international language is very important today. In addition, the possibility of using English is increasing in network-based global online learning and voice recognition in consideration of conversations with computer devices or robots. Although Koreans are strong in English theory, the weaknesses in conversation (listening and speaking) are easy to see in the form of their usual mouths and the languages used. In other words, Korean pronounces letters (consonants and vowels consisting of consonants, neutrons, and jongseong) at one time and cuts them into pieces, whereas English is pronounced on the rhythm of letters of the alphabet. In addition, in terms of the manner of articulation, the form of pronunciation seems to have an influence on Korean language having a lot of explosives and English having a lot of fricatives. In addition, English and Korean have different widths. English has almost twice as much accent as Korean, and English has lower and higher pitches compared to Korean, so there is a range of notes that are not detected in Korean. English also has 22 consonants. In Korean, there are 14 consonants, but in English, there are 8 consonants, such as f and z, which cannot be expressed in Korean. The distinction between 'p-b', 't-d', 'k-g', and 'sz' is strict, which is especially pronounced in the pronunciation of a native speaker who mainly uses the vocal cords. It may be due to the long habit of living, but it is not well recognized in the language consciousness of Koreans.

That is, English has a lot of friction sounds coming out of the vocal cords as described above, and the mouth is open, and because of the characteristics of the letters being pronounced one by one, the shape of the mouth of people who use English as their mother tongue is left and right or left and right. In the open state a lot of sound is generated.

On the other hand, the burst sounds (한글, ㅃ, ㅃ, ㅃ, ㄸ, ,, ,, ㅋ) of Hangul, such as the sound of popping out of the lips or the tip of the tongue, are popping out momentarily. The sound will come out when there is. When Koreans keep their mouths closed or closed, they appear expressionless because they habitually keep their lips closed.

For Koreans, it is quite difficult and unnatural to continue to consciously keep their mouths open. If you pull the facial muscles to create a smiley state, the wrinkles around the eyes will become unfamiliar.

As a result, they can stand up for a short time in photography or English pronunciation, and soon return to their closed state. In a closed state, pronunciation occurs as a bass, and therefore is easily seen as a blunt voice. On the contrary, when the mouth is wide open and pronounced, the lips are pulled to the side and closer to the highs, especially the lip teasing is faster, which may result in faster pronunciation.

Humans learn to speak naturally through their parents and neighbors during childhood and childhood. Because the eyes, mouth, ears, and brain are connected to each other, the sound, the shape of the mouth, and the meaning of the sound are unknowingly learned together. It is common to lose. Therefore, Koreans also learn English easily if they spend their children in English-speaking areas. For adults, learning English is slow because there is a consciousness in the brain that collides with the existing spoken language, so if one of the eyes, mouth, ears, or brain becomes similar to a native speaker who speaks English, For example, if you use tools to get more out of shape, you can escape from conscious thinking about pronunciation during language training, which is a condition that you can master relatively quickly.

In the case of exercise using bicycles or skates, it may fall down in the early stages, but once you get used to it, the physical differences in language can be supplemented as a tool, as the motor nerves become more natural due to the reflexes in the brain. If you express it with your mouth, you'll master faster, so you can communicate well, not just in pronunciation. In addition, if the person who rides a bicycle is deformed or walks without riding, the corrective tool to pronounce the English is also increased. Expression pronunciation does not come out.

In May 1996, 80% of middle and high school students were wrongly pronounced when they checked the accuracy of English pronunciation of college students taking middle and high school and English liberal arts courses in Seoul and Seoul. In addition, about 45% of college students who are interested in English are wrongly pronounced. Unlike English, English often means different meanings depending on pronunciation. Therefore, systematic education or natural education through tools is desirable. Even though Koreans have been learning English for over 10 years, they can't actually do it properly in conversations with native speakers. Unconscious pronunciation practice through methods and tools is a master of English education.

Many methods and tools for improving English pronunciation have been developed for a long time, but many of them have been aimed at improving one or two fragments of pronunciation. none. For example, it was invented as a tool to clarify the pronunciation of the tongue, such as the sound of the tongue tip on the upper gum (dental); dental t, d and Korean ㅌ. Korean technology as a technology 10- 0577534 (English phonetic orthodontic device) and the pronunciation of the English L (L), [L, R] 10-2004-0065143 (pronounced pronunciation) Institutional patents, although helpful for improving unit pronunciation, are somewhat limited as a way to become familiar with overall native speaker pronunciation.

On the other hand, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2004-0106208 (pronouncer) is a denture-like form and extension device (extension) that is designed to support the internal cheeks of the oral cavity by walking on the pubic bone. It is very uncomfortable to master.

Unlike pronunciation, it is sometimes recommended to practice vocal exercises with wooden chopsticks or ping pong balls to improve vocalization. In this case, the intraoral cavity, which is an articulation organ, causes a large space and resonance caused by the space. When the sound of the well-resonated voice is found and mastered, the pronunciation in music and conversation is improved at the same time. Training for English pronunciation is very inconvenient.

In order to solve the above problems in the present invention, a mouthpiece extending to the both ends of the lips and the inside of the ball connected to it is connected to the headset wearing on the head, and as a mouthpiece It is intended to allow the user to adjust the strength of the mouth-opening force to the user, so that the user can be familiar with all the pronunciation of English close to the native speaker without being conscious of the braces.

In order to achieve the above problem, the pronunciation utterance correcting apparatus of the present invention can improve the English pronunciation close to the native speaker, and at the same time relates to a corrective mechanism capable of using a clear and speed English pronunciation, the head to be worn on the head to support An extension plate inserted into the mount and the oral cavity and a lip support connected to the edge of the mouth and a connection support connecting the extension plate and the lip support to the head mount, wherein the connection support is opened by pulling the lip support and the extension plate to both ends of the lips. It is configured to maintain by adjusting the tension.

Preferred methods and embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a simplified representation of the organs of the human body that are pronounced and spoken.

Although there may be slight physical differences between Asians and Westerners, if you look closely at the pronunciation and utterances related to English speaking, you have already expressed them in the previous section. This is a kind of feature that Korean includes a lot of 'ㅗ, ㅛ, ㅜ, ㅠ'. Also, some surveys say that Koreans' mouths are 80% larger than Westerners.

Referring to the difference between the articulators for pronunciation of Koreans and Westerners in A of FIG. 1, Koreans have a pronounced sound mainly in the oral cavity (3), which is different from the vocal cords (2) and surrounding sounds, which are mainly generated in Western people. More specifically, Koreans make sounds as they touch or fall off each other on their tongues (5), teeth (6), lips (7) and palate (oral palate 9). In Korean, many of the rupture sounds are determined only in the oral cavity, which is an articulatory organ.In contrast to English, there are many languages (consonants; a, c, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅅ, etc.) that are closed in Jongseong (support). It can be said that there are many digital waveforms and each pronunciation is a sound, but this is difficult for native speakers of English to understand pronunciation, and in the case of Koreans, it can be a barrier to get closer to native English speakers.

Vowel pronunciations in B of FIG. 1 are [a, e (ε), i, o (

), u] is the most natural sound even if [e] or [i] is pronounced in the most natural way, and in the case of [o] or [u] pronunciation. In addition, if you try to pronounce the actual [e] lip shape 11 when the pronunciation is stretched to the long side and the thickness becomes thin. In the case of [u] pronunciation, the lip shape 13 becomes thick and falls to the bass.

If you have lived abroad for a long time, you may speak Korean as English. Even if the Japanese people who have English is the most difficult to live long time abroad, they also see that the pronunciation is close to the native speaker, if the language is used for a long time, it is not related to the physical structure. .

You can see that if you run a heavy weight in running clothes and take off after running, it becomes light as if you are flying. In other words, if you use the exercise tool to systematically exercise the English pronunciation using the tool can be quickly mastered, the present invention is not able to physically modify the human body in the existing body only wide open the mouth sideways familiar pronunciation It is necessary to make it, the equipment of the present invention is to create an environment to be unconsciously in pronunciation practice, conversation, etc., in particular, because the resonance sound in the oral cavity can be increased for a long time without difficulty It can be intimately remembered in the subconscious.

2 is a basic conceptual view of an embodiment as a representative method of the present invention.

The pronunciation utterance correcting device of the present invention has a pair of mouthpieces 22 formed of a lip support 21 and an expansion plate 22 on both head edges of the user's mouth 7 as worn on the head as shown in FIG. 2. In this case, the mouthpiece 20 is a structure made to open the mouth in the transverse direction by the direction of the tension (T) to be connected to the connecting support (30).

Since the amount of tension (T) is required to familiarize the user by repeating several times without overdoing it, it is elastic in the material of the connecting support 30 or the connecting member 32 connected to the head mount 31 through a separate experiment. Can be adjusted.

Figure 3 is a more curved denied lip portion 21 of the positive edge (7a) of the user's mouth when the user wearing the mouthpiece 20. As a specific structure of the mouthpiece 20, the mouthpiece 20 of Figure 2 Worn to be seated, the extension 22 is in close contact with the inside of the user's ball (8). Mouthpiece 20 is a structure that can be attached and detached with the support 30, the material may be manufactured as a resin-based, such as polycarbonate, PE, harmless to the human body and a metal-based, such as stainless, titanium alloy.

In addition, the extension part 22 of the mouthpiece 20 is a structure of a long round shape, and can be sized according to a user's age or body structure (size of the oral cavity), and the shape is manufactured as thin as possible in consideration of the shape of the mouth. It is desirable to be.

One side of the extension portion 22 is in contact with the inner surface of the user's cheek 8 as an outer surface, and the other side is faced in the posterior direction of the oral cavity (see 6 in FIG. 2) as the inner surface. As mentioned, it is preferable to make the inner side of the extension 22 concave 23 in order to maximize the resonance effect of the vocal sound according to the lateral opening of the mouth.

However, when the resonance effect is unnecessary or the contact of the extension 22 is excessively sensitive depending on the user, the mouthpiece 20 ′ in which the extension 22 is greatly reduced is preferable. The reduced extension 24 of FIG. 4 can reduce the shape in which the user's ball protrudes out during use.

5 is a first embodiment of the present invention. The mouthpiece 20 is connected by the connection support 30, the support rod is inserted into the elastic track 32 can adjust the length stretching by hand. The connecting support and the elastic track 32 may be manufactured in square 321 as a cross-sectional structure as shown in (B) of FIG. This is because it is possible to facilitate the appropriate elasticity and detachment in accordance with the spirit of the present invention while manufacturing in consideration of the function and fashion by the manufacturer, the elasticity can be used by the user directly bent by hand for the elasticity of the support bar.

As a test result of the test product manufactured according to the first embodiment of the present invention, it is considered that a specific elasticity value (T in FIG. 4) is about 20g to about 100g. However, it is preferable that the adjustment range of the elasticity value is made larger than this, because individual adjustment of the user is required.

In addition, the head mount 31 for head mounting has a built-in spring with elasticity and has the same function as a headphone / earmuff structure, and as a simple cushioning material 341 having elasticity and elasticity at the headphone position 33 as necessary. It can also manufacture.

FIG. 6 may have a structure capable of simultaneously storing English hearing and user pronunciation along a shape of a headphone according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The microphone function 46 of the mouthpiece can be mounted so that the English pronunciation practice and the result listening can be simultaneously heard in the headphones 49. The present invention can sufficiently manufacture the technology for comparing the language of the native speaker and the user's language using the (Voice Analyzer Program) that is open to the public regarding the recording or playback of the voice over the connection line 60. By applying the invention, it contributes to the user's convenience of training through voice analysis.

FIG. 7 is a mouthpiece A according to another method of voice recognition of FIG. 6, in which a user's pronunciation sound is transmitted through the waveguide 42 to the user's ear. The waveguide 42 is preferably a high-density rigid plastic or a stainless steel pipe or the like that is easy to transmit sound, and the receiver portion B from which the sound comes out is controlled by the adjusting screw 48 in the elastic track 47. Elasticity adjustment (see stretching in the 42 'direction). Manufacture of the receiver part B can fully be manufactured by the principle, such as a headphone or a stethoscope.

Figure 8 is an illustration of the side and front of the appearance of wearing the pronunciation utterance correction device of the present invention to familiarize the pronunciation in the state of opening the lips in the transverse direction (64) when worn, and the sound of the sound is also more rounded The longer the lips cry, the stronger the elasticity (tense), the faster the movement of the lips, which can lead to faster speech. At the same time, both edges of the lips may be pulled up while wearing the pronunciation utterance correction device of the present invention, so that the lips may be accustomed to maintaining the smile shape 63.

As described above, according to the present invention, as a method for English pronunciation of native speakers of Koreans, English pronunciation close to the native speaker by pronunciation practice and vocal practice in the state of wearing the pronunciation utterance correcting apparatus of the present invention with the mouth open sideways This is also possible because the pronunciation is more pronounced and the pronunciation speed of the lips becomes faster and it becomes easy to get used to it. Also, even if you do not wear it later, you will be able to bring your English pronunciation closer to the native speaker level.
