title: [Voice emission and the tongue].
abstract: Tongue function is seldom studied in relationship to voice emission. Normal tongue function supports to a varying extent subsequent phases of voice emission, including respiration, phonation, articulation, and resonance. Disorders of tongue motoric function lead to difficulties in voice emission at each of these phases. The disorders vary as to the degree, type, and extent but in consequence lead to pathologies of the organ of voice. When learning voice emission, more attention paid to tongue function and its role in voice formation could improve the training and rehabilitation processes.
